Chapter 1192
“Um…” Collin was sweating bullets now. He wasn’t just sweating on the forehead. His back was also drenched with sweat.
Just as he was stumped and had no idea how to proceed, he heard Bonnie’s voice.
“Like you said, he’s a scientific researcher. I handpicked him to join the research institute. Naturally, he wields an extensive knowledge in the field. Do you think a couple of questions are going to unnerve him?
“He is a shy person, though. Just go ahead and ask him anything you want.”
Collin remained quiet and didn’t say anything.
‘Doesn’t Bonnie know she’s overestimating my ability right now? I have virtually no knowledge of the world of scientific research. I might know less than Ivor. How am I supposed to answer his questions? Ads by PubFuture
‘Why did I have to laugh earlier? Why?!!
At the thought of that, he heard his phone buzzing. Lowering his head, he looked at it and saw that it was a text from Bonnie.
“You have me if the questions are too tough to answer. What are you panicking about? He’ll quiz you, and I’ll send you the answer through texts. All you have to do is read my texts. Got it?”
‘Ivor’s quizzes might be too difficult for me, but it could never stump Bonnie.’
Collin read her text and thought it was such a wonderful idea that he almost shouted out of joy.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Ivor was still on the phone. So, he suppressed the excitement and replied to her text with trembling fingers.
“This is an extremely fantastic idea, chief! Why couldn’t I think of it? You’re way too intelligent, chief!” “That’s enough with the flattery! I’ll consider myself lucky if you can work with me and dispel Ivor’s suspicion!” She rolled her eyes as she texted. Ads by PubFuture
‘I can’t believe I have to clean up Collin’s messes. What the hell is this?
‘Ivor was already suspecting me. Good on Collin on making things worse for me.’
Then, Collin sent her an embarrassed emoticon before texting her, “You can count on me, chief. This time, I’m going to follow your instructions to the letter! I swear, I won’t stir up more trouble for you!”
“Great…” The ellipsis in her text conveyed just how annoyed she was.
Both of them were still texting when Ivor started his quiz.
The first few questions were rather basic. So, Collin was able to answer them without Bonnie’s help. Then, Ivor’s questions became harder. However, it just so happened that Collin had learned about them with her. So, he managed to handle them by himself, too.
Ivor had tested Collin with several questions, and the latter was able to answer all of them. Moreover, Collin got all of them right. There was no room for Ivor to nitpick, either.
Ivor didn’t have extensive knowledge of scientific research, either. All the questions he formulated were based on the documents he saw Bonnie reading all the time.
His initial purpose for probing Collin was to make sure if the guy was really a researcher at her institute. He was also worried that Bonnie was elsewhere and tried to use Collin as an alibi.
Now that Collin was able to get every question right, his suspicion faded for the time being.
