It was clear that Bonnie was highly valued by her colleagues; otherwise, they wouldn’t have deployed such significant resources.
This realization made Andreas's eyes widen. ‘Could Bonnie be Ms. Bonita?’
The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. Noticing Andreas's wide-eyed stare, Bonnie turned her head to see him looking at her with a mix of awe and confusion. She touched her face, puzzled.
"Is there something on my face?"
Andreas shook his head. "No, no."
"Then why are you looking at me like that? Did the pain make you delighted?" Bonnie found Andreas's gaze a bit strange.
"It's not that... I just have a question," Andreas said.
Andreas looked at her intently for a couple of seconds before taking a deep breath and asking, "Bonnie, is your true identity Ms. Bonita?"
He had his suspicions but needed confirmation from her.
Bonnie's eyes flickered with hesitation, unsure whether to reveal her true identity. But seeing Andreas's injuries, she ultimately nodded.
"Yes, I am."
Andreas's eyes were filled with admiration and a touch of infatuation. His heart pounded even harder. "Bonnie, you’re amazing. I’ve never seen a girl excel in so many different areas."
"Doing these things is about talent and ability, not about being a girl," Bonnie replied nonchalantly, clearly accustomed to such compliments.
