Chapter 91 1/2 “Professor Terry and the others were acting funnily earlier,” Ivor probed. Bonnie wasn’t surprised he was asking her about this. Something would be wrong if someone as smart as him hadn’t questioned. her. “What do you mean?” He responded by staring at her. “What do you think?” “I didn’t notice anything,” She replied. He smiled. “Color me curious. Why were you with Ms. Bonita’s researchers?” “Oh. That was just a coincidence.” “You ran into them by chance? Do they know you?” “What’s so strange about that? After all, I won the Best Scholar Award this year.” “Many people get that award every year, but none of them become particularly close to those researchers because of that.” “Maybe it was because I got a perfect score on my SATS. Would you say there are a lot of Best Scholars like me?” Her answer wasn’t exactly convincing, but he couldn’t really argue with her. “You say that, but Professor Terry and the others acted very differently around you…” He lowered his gaze and fixed his eyes on her. She raised her brow. “Did they?” They locked gazes for a full minute before Ivor conceded. He shook himself off and asked, “Did you see Ms. Bonita?” When he had seen Bonnie leaving the private room with the professors, the door hadn’t been pushed all the way back, and he thought he heard them complimenting Ms. Bonita. “I didn’t see her,” Bonnie responded. She was lying. He was sure of it, but he didn’t expose her. He wondered just how many secrets she had. He felt as if he was a traveler braving the dragon’s lair in search of treasure. He’d love to search for the ‘treasure‘ within her. “They’re gone.” Hadwin tugged at Trina, who was rooted to the spot. “Huh? Oh.” She came to her senses, part of her still reliving what happened earlier. He squinted. It was hard to read his thoughts, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. Chapter 91 212 “I told you we shouldn’t stay here and try to see Ms. Bonita. Look where it got you. You can kiss your chance of a career at her research institute goodbye.” Trina felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. She cursed Bonnie. She wouldn’t have ended up here if it wasn’t for her. “Huh?” Something occurred to Trina. Whipping her head toward the private room, she asked, ” Where’s Ms. Bonita?” Hadwin came to his senses. He was so focused on what happened to Trina that he had forgotten about this important business. She was right! Where was Ms. Bonita? Why hadn’t they seen her? Wasn’t it her research institute’s anniversary today? She should be here. “Is she still in there?” Trina took a wild guess. Hadwin walked to the door and found that it was shut tight. He wasn’t sure if there was anyone inside. Trina reached out, about to push the door open, but Hadwin stopped her. “You’re out of your mind! Do you realize you might disturb her if she really is inside?”
