Bonnie looked at the grand gesture and knew instantly that Ivor was behind this.
Her lips twitched in response to the revelation.
“It’s fine. I’m not going to open any one of them. Get them back in the car. I’ll unwrap them when I’m back home.”
‘Ivor loves doting on me. I’m sure the gifts he prepared for me are insanely expensive. There’s a crowd here and we’re at the university gate. I don’t want to draw more attention to myself than I already have.
‘With that said, he gave some thoughts to these gifts and sent them to me. So, I can’t reject it, either. That’s why receiving them and unwrapping them at home is the best course of action here.’
“Um…” The head bodyguard looked troubled. “We have our orders. Our employer said you have to unwrap one of the gifts, at least. Otherwise, we won’t be able to tell him that we got the job done.”
Her lips twitched again.
‘What on earth is Ivor doing? Why did he insist on me unwrapping one of the gifts?’
She was still confused when she saw the bodyguard, who looked troubled. It seemed like he wasn’t going to leave until she did what Ivor wanted.
Flat out of option, she agreed to it. “Fine. I’ll just pick one and open it.”
‘I’ll just randomly pick one of them, unwrap it, and send the bodyguard packing.’
She walked over and was about to unwrap one of the gifts when she heard the onlookers. They sounded both sarcastic and curious.
“I’ve never heard that Bonnie came from a wealthy family. Could it be that she has a loaded boyfriend? Why would there suddenly be 20 Lamborghinis here just to send her gifts? Something smells fishy here.”
