As soon as Selina arrived, she overheard this. “What are you talking about?! Coleman and Bonnie are just old acquaintances.”
“So they knew each other long ago. Oh, I remember now. Selina had a piano competition with Bonnie and was miserably defeated. Coleman left with Bonnie then.”
“So you mean Bonnie and Coleman are childhood sweethearts. That makes Toby the newcomer.”
“That’s an interesting way to put it! But who knows if Bonnie will ultimately choose Coleman or Toby?”
“Let’s make a bet then to guess who she ends up with?”
“That sounds fun and exciting, but we should add another option.”
“What option?”
“That they all end up together.”
“Haha, that’s possible.”
The discussion was heated and lively, with everyone having a good time. Selina glared in Bonnie’s direction as she stood aside, feeling so furious she could spit fire.
‘I may not be as skilled in piano as you, Bonnie, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get back at you. Just wait. I’ll make sure to send you to hell, never to return. Coleman belongs to me, and me alone.’
The affair involving Bonnie, Coleman, and Toby became widely known in less than a day.
Ivor also received the news. He was sat at the dining table, staring at Bonnie with a deeply resentful gaze.
Bonnie planned to ignore him, but the intensity of his gaze made her uncomfortable.
Hence, she met his eyes after putting down her fork. “How can you be so jealous?”
“Can you blame me for this? I wasn’t planning to be jealous, but look at the comments on the campus forum. They’ve even started betting on who you’ll end up with.” Ivor pushed his phone toward Bonnie as he spoke.
Bonnie couldn’t be bothered to look, so she pushed the phone away.
“What others say has nothing to do with me. Can I stop them from saying things? Coleman and Toby are both my friends. If I can’t even have a meal with my friends without worrying about what others will say, wouldn’t I live a tiresome life?”
“Anyway, I’m not happy, no matter what you say. I won’t be able to have dinner tonight unless you kiss me.”
Bonnie couldn’t help but laugh. Ivor was sulking like a child. “You’re an aloof CEO. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?”
Ivor replied, “If I can’t even do this with my fiancee without worrying about what others will say, wouldn’t I live a tiresome life?”
“I can’t be bothered with you. Whether you eat or not, it’s up to you.” Bonnie picked up her fork again and continued eating.
One minute passed, and the man continued to stare at her.
Five minutes passed, and he remained as steady as a mountain, staring at her.
Ten minutes passed, and Bonnie seriously suspected the man had become a boulder.
Bonnie admitted she was defeated and compromised a little in the end.
“Kissing you is impossible. Give me another option.”
