‘Ivor’s improving on sneaking up on me. Not only did he steal a kiss from me last night, but he also snuck into my bed. He didn’t do anything, but I couldn’t sleep until midnight because of him. How was I
supposed to sleep well?’
Ivor gazed at Bonnie and recalled how he snuck up on her. Feeling embarrassed, he changed the topic out of guilt, “The new chef made your favorites for breakfast. It’s homemade pizza. Have a taste and tell me what you think.”
She watched as he offered her a slice. She scoffed lightly and said, “Since you put it that way, I guess I’ll have a bite.”
Considering how she spoke, Ivor knew she had forgiven him. He smiled and said, “It smells good, so it should taste just as well. Enjoy.”
“Okay,” Bonnie replied and took a small bite.
Immediately after, Ivor asked, “So, how is it? Is it any good?”
“It’s not bad.” Bonnie reacted neutrally. Then, something occurred to her, and she looked at him. “Hurry up and finish your breakfast. I have something to show you.”
Anything she said seemed to pique his interest. He could not help but ask, “What is it?”
Bonnie gestured for him to have breakfast, saying, “I thought I said I’d show you after breakfast. Eat up.’
“Okay.” Ivor did not ask further. Instead, he lowered his head and tucked into his breakfast.
Ten minutes later, the couple finished eating, and Ivor asked, “Okay, you said you’d show me something, right? Let me see it.”
“Damn, can’t you wait? You’re that eager to see it, huh?” Bonnie helplessly shook her head and pulled out her phone to show it to him. “Here, see for yourself.”
Ivor took the phone and read it.
Bonnie had logged into her research institute’s official Twitter account and made an official announcement. It stated they would cancel their collaboration with Gemedia Group and never consider a future partnership.
Simply put, Bonita Research Institute had blacklisted Gemedia Group once and for all.
Bonita was the most significant figure in Arvandor and commanded massive respect from everyone in the nation. Her announcement sparked intense public discussion.
“I wonder what Gemedia Group did to warrant such a thing. Why would Ms. Bonia make such an announcement?”
“My guess is as good as yours. Was Gemedia Group involved in a scandal or something?”
“They could be a ticking time bomb. We should be careful working with them. Otherwise, they might drag us down.”
Ivor read the comments and got worked up. “B-Bonnie, why would you pull such a stunt?! I can’t believe you’re giving up working with a company as huge as Gemedia Group! That’s a considerable sacrifice you’re making for me, Bonnie.”
Although he had bad blood with Shane, Ivor would have understood if Bonnie’s research institute needed to collaborate with Gemedia Group. Ivor would not dream of stopping her, either.
‘I never thought Bonnie would use her research institute’s name to give up on them for me.’
