Chapter 166
Ivor understood Hamish’s concerns, saying, “Please arrange a meeting with your chairman.”
However, it only worsened the latter’s headache. Hamish stood up and pulled out his phone. “Give me a minute while I make a phone call.”
He then left the VIP room and called Bonnie. She had just awoken moments ago and sounded a little husky, “Hello? What’s up?”
“I have a massive headache right now, Bonnie.”
“Then, get some sleep. I’m busy and can’t take over your job.”
Hamish knew Bonnie was about to hang up. So, he hurriedly said, “Your fiance is here asking for the Lenfield Resort’s development rights.”
Bonnie bolted upright. “What did you say?!”
“Ivor’s in the VIP room now. He came here with a checkbook and said I could name any price if I gave him the development rights. There’s more,” Hamish sounded more like he was gossiping as he continued, “He even told me he promised to give you the best villa in Lenfield Resort. It seems you have a romantic fiance.”
Bonnie said smilingly, “What’s wrong? Are you jealous, or are you feeling lonely? Ivor must’ve inspired you to look for a wife. I can help you with that. Pick any lady you want.”
“Please don’t. I’m sorry, all right.” Hamish was pretty shocked by her response. He blamed himself for making fun of Bonnie. He could do it with anyone else but her. “Hey, back to business. What are we going to do about Ivor?”
“It’s simple. Tell Ivor that your chairman has decided to let me stay in the eight villa for now.”
Ivor was surprised as he looked at Hamish. “Your chairman is giving Bonnie the best villa?”
“No, they’re just lending it to her.” Hamish corrected Ivor.
Ivor recalled when the chairman gave Bonnie a gown for the party. He asked, “I’m curious about who Bonnie is to your chairman.”
“Um, I’m sorry, but that’s a private matter between the chairman and Bonnie. I can’t divulge such information.”
Ivor’s expression grew tense, and his eyes dimmed. “If that’s the case, I won’t pry. There’s just one thing, though. I wonder if it’s okay for you to answer my question.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“Is your chairman a man or a woman?”
Chapter 166
Hamish had to stifle a smile, knowing Ivor was jealous of the chairman, “You’ll be pleased to know my chairman is a lady,”
Ivor noticed Hamish trying to hold back a chuckle. So, the former asked again, “What about you? Who’s Bonnie to you?”
“We’re not a couple,” Hamish explained hastily.
“Really?”
“Someone like Bonnie is beyond my reach. I couldn’t have held on to her even if we were a couple. Frankly speaking, I’ve never met anyone who could hold their own against Bonnie. Still, that was only true until after I met you. In my opinion, you can win her heart if you put a little more effort into it.”
Ivor raised his teacup, saying, “Here’s to hoping your words will manifest. We don’t have alcohol here. So, allow me to drink this tea in your name instead.”
“You’re too kind.” Hamish sipped his tea.
Suddenly, he slammed the table and exclaimed, “Damn Xavier for almost killing Bonnie! I’ll get my revenge someday! If you don’t mind, Ivor, we should join forces and give that asshole his just desserts!”
Ivor’s eyes grew cold as he said, “You spoke my mind, Hamish.”
Meanwhile, Xavier glanced at his employee, who was there to report his findings. “My men tailed Windbreaker’s car last night and saw her face when she got out of the car with Mr. Ivor. S–She’s… Um
