I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 11

When they heard what she said, Ivor and Ged looked at Bonnie.

“You know that?” Ivor asked with a frown.

“Uh–huh,” Bonnie replied.

The old professor at the research institute had texted her the date this morning

He had asked if she was okay with the 28th of this month and offered to change it if she wasn’t.

“Oh? How did you find out?” Ivor narrowed his eyes.

“Well…”

Bonnie frowned. “I can’t tell you the specifics. All I can say is that It’s set for the 28th.”

Ged pulled Ivor aside and whispered, “I really can’t stand her, you know! Yes, she’s pretty, I’ll give her that, but she’s so full of shit!‘

Ivor rubbed his chin and looked at Bonnie.

He had always been good at reading people.

But he couldn’t seem to detect any hint that she was lying, which puzzled him.

“My dad says every major corporation in Pyralis–no, I mean in all of Arvandor–is eager to work with Ms. Bonita’s research team to secure exclusive rights to the new nanomaterial. Isn’t your company interested in it too?

“It’s a brand new nanomaterial! You’ll make a killing once it starts being used in manufacturing and research. I’m sure it’ll help drive many advancements in technology too,” Ged spoke excitedly.

“Of course we’re interested, but we might not be able to secure the rights to it, even if the Knight family is the richest in Pyralis. Many major powers in Arvandor will be after it.”

Bonnie looked at him as he finished his sentence.

“You’re interested in securing the rights to the new nanomaterial?”

Ivor asked, “Why? Can you help?”

Bonnie nodded. “Since Sigmund saved me once, I can help you if that’s what you want.”

Ged couldn’t take it anymore.

“Thanks, but no thanks! I’m sure Ivor doesn’t want to trouble anyone.”

“It’s no trouble at all. I just need to let the team know,” Bonnie said, casually.
