Chapter 276 Knowing what Ivor was about to say, Bonnie explained, “He’s just a friend, you know? We’ve known each other for years, nothing more than that.” Ivor chuckled in amusement, saying, “I love it when you explain yourself so earnestly.” “I bet you do,” Bonnie muttered. At the karaoke place, Ivor was displeased as he watched Floyd and Jim singing in the private room. Even Heath, Hamish, Benedict, Kay, and Avril were present. Ivor resentfully said, “I thought we agreed that only two of us would be here.” Bonnie’s eyes sparkled as she smirked. “I never said it would just be us.” Ivor sighed in resignation while Bonnie observed his reaction. She found it increasingly amusing. Avril leaned in, her cheeks flushed red as she asked, “Bonnie, how do you know Jim?” Bonnie’s ears perked up, excited to gossip. “You don’t like Jim, do you?” “No, that’s not it! You’re so mean, Bonnie. Don’t tease me like that.” Avril covered her face and discreetly glanced at Jim. Bonnie stood up and said, “I see. I’ll be a matchmaker for you two. 11 “Wait, no, no, no!” Avril pulled Bonnie back onto the couch. “Stop teasing me. If you don’t know, I feel pretty troubled.‘ 11 “What’s wrong? Why are you so upset?” Bonnie urged. Avril sighed, saying, “My dad’s company just developed a new product, and we planned to get a big celebrity endorsement. But our rivals, the Moss family, are trying to snatch that celebrity from us. 11 “You mean the Moss family’s Moss Group?” Bonnie recalled vaguely. “That’s them.” Bonnie remembered Tang Fusion Studios trying to collaborate with Moss group, only to get rejected. Although Tang Fusion Studios grew rapidly in just a month, Moss Group claimed the former had missed out. Afterward, Tang Fusion Studios refused to collaborate with them. Bonnie said, “I remember the Moss‘ overall influence surpassing your family’s. So, they poached the celebrity before your family could?” “Yeah, that’s right.” Avril’s brows furrowed as she sighed. “Which celebrity was your company going for?” Bonnie asked. “I have a friend who’s a big star, too. His status in the industry is pretty high, too. Has your chosen celebrity signed the contract with the Moss family yet?” “Probably not,” Avril sounded uncertain, “I heard he was filming abroad but will be back in a couple of days.” Bonnie frowned. After some thought, she asked, “Is the celebrity you mentioned an award–winning actor and singer? Is his name Orpheus?” “Yeah, that’s him! How’d you guess?” Bonnie was speechless for a moment. Then, she said, “That’s quite a coincidence. He happens to be the friend I mentioned earlier.” Avril’s jaw dropped. Previously, she would have thought Bonnie was joking again. However, after learning about Bonnie’s medical skills, Avril no longer dared to doubt her best friend’s words. “Y–You know Orpheus?” “Of course I do. Why would I lie?” Bonnie shrugged. Avril felt even more convinced as she looked at Bonnie’s sincere demeanor. The former asked, “How’d you two meet?” “Well…” After some hesitation, Bonnie whispered, “I can tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else.” The prospect of hearing a secret piqued Avril’s gossip -loving heart. “Tell me, tell me! Don’t worry. I promise not to tell anyone.”
