‘Ivor is truly fit to be my husband. He’s incredible, after all.’
The professors and higher-ups fell silent as Bonnie said, “Now that everyone has agreed, the Knights will sponsor the cafeteria.”
Everyone responded, “We have no objections, Ms. Bonnie.”
“If that’s all, we’ll adjourn the meeting. Back to work, guys.” Bonnie waved and stood up.
The others followed suit and filed out of the conference room. When Bonnie reached the hallway, Reece took after her and said, “Where are you going now, Ms. Bonnie? We just built a couple of labs on campus. I designed them and oversaw their construction.
“I also made them safe and aesthetically pleasing. Would you mind coming to have a look?” He looked at her nervously, like a little boy waiting for his parents to say they were proud of him.
Bonnie noticed it and could not help but giggle. She said, “You don’t need to be so nervous, Reece. Everyone knows how capable you are, especially since you call the shots concerning the labs. You don’t need my opinions about them.”
Instead of feeling relieved, Reece felt even more pressured. Then, he puffed his chest and said, “I appreciate you trusting me this much, Ms. Bonnie. I’ll do my best to ensure the team builds the labs immaculately. I won’t let you down!”
Bonnie looked at him approvingly. “Perfect! I believe in you, Reece.”
Reece could not help but grin. “Roger that, Ms. Bonnie! I’ll continue to do my best!”
“All right, run along. I need to head to the lecture hall.” Since Bonnie was here, she thought she would stay for a while. Otherwise, her presence would seem suspicious.
Reece nodded enthusiastically. “All right, Ms. Bonnie! Take care.”
Bonnie turned and waved at him before approaching the lecture hall. When she reached the door, she heard the chatter.
“Did you see the edited videos of Mr. Ivor’s wedding? He showed his wife such affection and love. I’d even say he’s her night in shining armor. I couldn’t contain my excitement and even yelled when I watched the videos. I couldn’t get enough of them.”
“Mr. Ivor is a handsome, wealthy, and powerful man. I can only imagine how happy his wife is to marry someone like him. If I were her, I’d sleep with a smile forever.”
“Most know Mr. Ivor as a cold-blooded prince charming. I never expected him to look so warm and affectionate around his wife. I would’ve tried to hit on him if I had known he was that charming. I think I could’ve won his heart.”
Avril helplessly shook her head and said, “Come on, guys. Do you think Ivor would’ve fallen in love with just anyone? His wife must’ve won his heart because she’s just as talented and accomplished as him. As for you guys…”
After a brief pause, Avril added, “Forget about it. None of you stand a chance with Ivor.”
‘Bonnie is the world-renowned Ms. Bonita, after all. She’s an expert in scientific research and exceptionally adept in every area I can think of. Ordinary women can never hope to match Bonnie.’
