I Love You, Miss Genius

"I know you're sick, Ivor. Why do you insist on lying to me? Are you sure you want to keep it up?" Bonnie said sternly.

At that moment, Ivor recalled the earlier video call.

'I don't think I gave off any signs. I'm sure I kept up my act flawlessly. That means Bonnie's trying to interrogate me. I can't have that. I must keep denying it.'

"You have to believe me, Bonnie. I'd never lie to you over something like that." Then, Ivor felt the urge to cough again. Although he tried to fight it back, he could not do it this time. "Cough, cough!"

She stared at him through the screen and hung up without a word.

"Bonnie? Bonnie!" Ivor panicked and tried calling her again, but she outright rejected it. He knew she did not want to talk to him, but he thought he had done nothing to make her mad at him. With that in mind, something occurred to him, and he could not help but frown.

Floyd, who had gotten the cough medicine, returned and saw how serious his boss looked. The former asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Ivor? Why do you look like that?"

Ivor turned to look at him while recounting his conversation with Bonnie. The former also remembered his fiancee hanging up on him wordlessly.
