Bonnie woke up from her nap and read the news on the internet. Then, she glanced at Ivor, who was cutting up fruits for her, and gave him an approving look. “Well done, Ivor. Things have exceeded my expectations.”
Holding the fruit platter, he smiled and walked over to her side. “Naturally. That’s a task you entrusted to me. Of course, I’ll ensure everything goes well.”
She gave him a sidelong glance and snorted lightly. “Tsk, you would’ve done the same thing even if I hadn’t asked you to. Do you think I don’t know about that? Furthermore, the Knight Group stands to be the big winner of this maneuver.
“I can’t believe you’re trying to make it sound like you’re doing me a favor. You just don’t know when to quit, Ivor.”
‘Acquiring the Gemedia Group would’ve driven back my competitors, especially those planning to conspire with Shane to take me down. Moreover, I can decisively solidify my company’s status in the industry.
‘If I think of the whole thing this way, it’s worth going through everything I’ve experienced in Everpeak.’
Ivor chuckled, stabbed a piece of sliced apple, and brought it before her lips.
“We’re on the same team. If I win, you win too. Don’t you agree? If you think about it that way, what’s the difference?”
She ate the sliced apple before rolling her eyes at him.
“What are you talking about? There’s a big difference there!”
Resting his chin on his hands, he looked at her casually.
“Really? Why don’t you tell me what kind of difference is there?”
She rolled her eyes at him so hard that they were about to pop.
‘I know how good he is at twisting facts to his advantage. If I keep arguing with him, we could talk well into the night. I’m not about to do that.’
“Forget it. I don’t intend to waste my breath here. Give me a minute. I’ll finish the fruit platter, and we’ll meet with Shane. We have to give him the ‘good news.’”
