I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 5

“Her name? Bonnie Shepard, B–O–N–N–1–E, S–H–E–P–A–R–D.”

“Please hold, sir. Let me check the records.”

A minute later, the voice came through, stammering this time.

“Y–you’ve made a mistake. Bon” she coughed, “Bonnie Shepard hasn’t broken any law or escaped from the police.

“If you make a false report again, we’ll charge you!”

With that, she hung up.

Gresham was stupefied. Vera was beside him and had heard everything the police officer said.

“Are you done? I’ll go upstairs then.” Bonnie left.

Vera felt a sense of pity as she watched her walk away.

After all, Bonnie might be a loser, but she was still her daughter.

“I’m sorry, Bonnie. We were wrong about you.”

Saddened, Bonnie stopped and looked over her shoulder at Vera. That woman hardly ever apologized to her and was never so gentle to her.

Gresham sighed.

“I was just worried about you. Anyway, I apologize.”

Bonnie frowned. “It’s okay.”

The living room fell silent, and Bonnie spoke first.

“I’m hitting the sack.”

“Wait!”

Vera stopped Bonnie. “What on earth happened the other day? Why did you get taken away?”

“I told you, it’s classified. I’ll tell you when the time is right.”

Bonnie told her the truth.

Vera was losing her patience and felt disappointed and angry.

She didn’t want to hear any more lies, so she changed the subject.

“The school called. They said they might kick you out if you skip classes again.”

“I’ll handle it.”
