As he said that, everyone looked expectantly at the stage.

“Ms. Bonita’s going to show up any time now, Ivor!” Ged could hardly contain the excitement in his

Ivor looked calm, but his gaze betrayed his true feelings.

Trina palmed her chest. “I’m so nervous, mom! My greatest idol is about to appear.”

Vera’s hand started to sweat as she anxiously tightened her grip on Bonnie’s wrist.

“Stay calm. We’ll go talk to her after she’s done.”

Bonnie tried to pull her wrist from her mother’s hand. “I need to go to the restroom.”

“What? Ms. Bonita is about to go on stage, and you want to go to the restroom now?”

“I really need to go.

“You’re going nowhere, young lady.”

A minute passed, but Ms. Bonita still didn’t show up.

“What’s going on? Where’s Ms. Bonita?”

The crowd whispered among themselves.

The host sweated profusely. Just as he was about to go backstage to ask about Bonnie, he spotted her sitting among the attendees.

Bonnie frowned and glanced at Vera, who was holding onto her tightly.

The host caught on and quickly arranged for someone to help her.

Gresham and Vera were surprised that he would come over to talk to them.
