I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1045

The professors exchanged uneasy glances, none willing to speak up. Ivor narrowed his eyes, considering barging in, but restrained himself out of respect for Bonnie's research institute.

"Can any of you professors tell me where Bonnie is? She said she’s been working on a major project in the lab these past few days, but I can’t see her anywhere. Has something happened to her?"

The professors, who were already cautious, became even more reluctant to speak. Saying the wrong thing could offend Bonnie, and no one wanted to be responsible for that. However, Ivor’s imposing presence made silence equally inappropriate.

Finally, one professor suggested quietly, “Someone should go inside and call Ms. Bonita to ask her how to handle this situation.”

“But… if we leave under Mr. Ivor’s watch, won’t he become suspicious?” Another professor doubted the feasibility of the plan.

The first professor gave him a stern look. “You fool! Just make an excuse to check on the experiment’s progress. Who told you to tell the truth?”

Realizing the suggestion, the second professor responded, “Oh, I get it. I’ll call Ms. Bonita right away.”

Clearing his throat, the professor adjusted his demeanor and addressed Ivor, “Mr. Ivor, I need to check on the experiment’s progress inside. You can talk to the others while I’m gone.”

The professor dashed away without waiting for a response. As Ivor watched his hasty retreat, he became more suspicious. ‘Where could Bonnie be? Why were these professors so evasive?’
