Chapter 16
“Well, 'm from Pyralis like you. And on top of that, you're the richest guy in the
city. Why wouldn't I work with you?”
Ivor was stumped.
“If there’s nothing else, I'll get going,” Bonnie said dryly.
Before Ivor could ask any more questions, Jim put himself between him and
Bonnie.
“You heard her, Mr. Ivor.”
Ivor could tell Jim was trying to get rid of him.
Worried that Ivor might upset Bonnie, Ged quickly whispered, “Ms. Bonita isn't a
very social person. You should be glad she even talked to you, okay? We should
leave now.”
But Ivor had a strange feeling that he would be able to solve this puzzle if he
continued to pursue the
matter.
“Anything else we can do for you?” Jim said, icily.
“No, no, we're leaving.” Ged pulled Ivor away.
“What's gotten into you, Ivor? Everyone knows that Ms. Bonita doesn't like talking
to anyone.
Besides, her bodyguard is Jim Ray, the King of Combat. I heard he just won the
International Fighting Championship. We don’t have our bodyguards with us right
now. He'll kick our asses if things turn ugly!”
Ivor looked away from her. “Do you see Bonnie anywhere?”
“Bonnie? Why?” Ged looked around. “Come to think of it, it looks like she left a
while ago.
Ivor grew pensive again when he heard that.
Meanwhile, Vera and Gresham were looking for Bonnie.
“How strange. Did she get lost on her way to the restroom?”
“I'd rather she go missing than embarrass us in front of everyone.”
They looked at Trina. “Trina, you need to make every effort to meet Professor
Terry's expectations. and secure a place at the research institute during the
internship recruitment next month, okay?”
“I'll do my best and make you and mom proud!” Trina was both pleased and
excited as she thought she had caught Professor Terry's attention.
“If you can get into Ms. Bonita’s team, we'll throw you a fancy party and invite
everyone to attend.”
“Thanks, mom!”

At the hotel, Jim frowned, upset.
“Are you really going to get engaged to Ivor? He doesn’t deserve you!”
He thought no one was good enough for Bonnie.
Bonnie took a sip of juice and shrugged. “You know I don't like owing anyone any
favors. And anyway, Sigmund did once save me and my foster parents.”
“Even so, you'd be making a huge sacrifice!”

Jim felt a little better as he saw that Bonnie wasn't taking Ivor seriously.
“Bonnie’s right. We don’t need to keep talking about an outsider.’
The next day, Ivor came to pick Bonnie up after school.
“We're getting engaged tomorrow. Grandpa wants you home to get ready for
that,” Ivor said impassively.
“Sure.” Bonnie's tone was equally dry.

Ivor studied her face in the rearview
mirror. After a moment of silence, he
asked, “How did you know Ms. Bonita
would choose to work with my
company?” The content is on
