‘Isn’t this an esteemed research institute? So, why would someone like Bonnie show up here?’
At the next moment, Shane saw a more jaw-dropping scene.
Bonnie walked straight past the gate and headed toward the institute’s door. However, the security guard ignored her and tried not to stop her.
The sight of his rival fanned the flames of fury in his heart further. The moment he saw her, it felt like he was about to explode like a volcano. His good sense was all but thrown out the window. At last, he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He roared, “Hold it right there, Bonnie!”
She couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard him.
Turning around, she saw Shane, who was standing in front of her and looking pissed off. She was headed straight for the lobby when she exited her car earlier. She didn’t even notice him.
At the same time, she knew just what he was doing here. He intended to ask her about the announcement she had made.
However, he wasn’t aware that she was Bonita, so his quest for the truth was doomed to fail.
‘You know that? I hope he passes out from sheer anger. That’ll teach him to set me and Ivor up.’
She folded her arms and glanced at him blankly at the thought. “Anything?”
“You bet you’re sweet behind. I have something to say!” He barely kept a lid on his anger and walked to the security guard. Then, he pointed at her and questioned,
“Didn’t you say you won’t allow anyone to enter this esteemed research institute? So, why do you allow her to enter it but not me? Can I read your actions as discrimination?”
The security guard frowned and responded instinctively, “She’s not just anyone. She’s…”
Just as he was about to expose her real identity, Bonnie stood beside him and cleared her throat.
“Ahem…”
He knew that she was warning him to tread lightly. So, he clamped up immediately.
Shane saw it and instantly knew that something was off. He kept looking back and forth between Bonnie and the security guard.
“Who is she? Why don’t you finish your sentence? Go on!”
Instead of responding to him immediately, the security guard glanced at her.
Then, she threw him a casual glance in response.
He was also brilliant, so he caught her drift and instantly said, “She works here. Naturally, she can enter the institute.”
‘Bonnie works here? At the Bonita Research Institute?’
Shane frowned and scanned her from head to toe as he tried to make sense of the situation.
‘Judging by her looks, she has nothing to do with scientific research. With that in mind, she must’ve gotten lucky and been chosen to work some odd jobs inside.’
However, the security guard wasn’t done. “You, on the other hand, are entirely different. Tell me, how are you related to the research institute? Why do I let you in just because you said so?” “Why, you…”
Shane was beside himself with rage as he pointed at the security guard tremblingly. “Such discrimination! I’ll report you to your superiors!”
The security guard thought to himself. ‘Bonita holds the most power in this premise. She even quietly consented to me handling things this way. What does this guy think reporting me will achieve?’ “Here’s the thing, sir. Go ahead and report me however you want. It’s not going to help you one bit. I’m still not going to let you enter the premises.”
Shane’s face contorted with rage as he clenched his fists. He was about to say something when he heard Bonnie’s casual voice.
