“Why, I don’t mind, of course. Aren’t these common questions? It doesn’t bother me at all.”Bonnie said to Collin, who was at the other end of the phone, “Hurry up and answer Ivor’s question, Allen.”Her tone carried a hint of warning, which made him wipe sweat from his forehead.”Um… I joined the research institute a couple of days ago, Mr. Ivor. O-Our new research institute is located at Ridge Road. You’ll find it halfway up the mountain in the countryside. Y-You’re free to visit us anytime you want.”This was the first time he had dealt with such a situation. He felt extremely awkward. Even his response sounded stiff.’If I had known this would happen, I would’ve stifled my laughter at all costs! I brought this on myself. If I don’t handle this well, Bonnie will undoubtedly kill me later!’ Ads by PubFuture
“Wonderful. I’m certainly going to swing by the new research institute as soon as I’m back from my work trip.” Ivor said, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.’Why does this Allen character’s voice sound so familiar to me? Where have I heard it before? He might’ve stuttered, but I honestly think he sounded familiar, which means I did hear his voice somewhere. ‘However, Allen is a new researcher at Bonnie’s research institute. Why would I have heard his voice before?'”Y-You’re welcome here anytime,” Collin said and wiped the sweat from his forehead.He kept praying silently. ‘Please. Stop asking me questions. I’m not sure if I can hold on any longer if he keeps hounding me. If I answered wrongly, Bonnie is going to knock me into next week. Come on vor. Have mercy on me!’ Ivor listened to Collin’s voice again and found it extremely familiar. It felt as if he had heard it before.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.”What’s with the ‘welcome’ stuff?

Bonnie’s ears reddened. ‘Ivor is such a shameless guy! He just calls me with these endearing terms while he’s talking with an outsider.’Collin chuckled dryly, unsure of how to respond to Ivor.Ivor paused for a moment before he asked again. I’ve been with my wife for a long time. During that time, I picked up a thing or two about scientific research. I’m in the mood to quiz you. Are you up for the challenge, I wonder?” Both Bonnie and Collin forgot to breathe for a second.’I didn’t count on him giving Collin a quiz. Collin had always run the Nidhogg for me. He has virtually no knowledge of the world of scientific research.’If Ivor asks him about some deep questions in that area, he’d surely fail in answering them!’Realizing that Collin had not responded to him after a long time, Ivor’s eyes grew darker.”What’s the matter, Allen? You’re ascientific researcher. Are you honestly worried about the kind of questions I’m going to ask you? I’m not even from your field.”
