I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1167

Bonnie asked, “Why’d you come here in person when you could’ve sent him to ask me about it, Mr. Billy?”

“Francesco was too shy and couldn’t muster the courage to pose the question to you.” Billy lied with a smile.

Bonnie smiled back and played along, “I can relate to that. Sometimes, I’m too shy to ask others for help when encountering issues. I prefer troubleshooting things myself. Of course, I’m happy to help anyone who has questions.”

“That’s fantastic! I was worried you wouldn’t care about helping others. If so, I would’ve wasted my time coming here.” Billy wore a fake smile. “He was in the security room earlier and found out the footage did not match what was happening in real-time.

“What do you think caused it? Is there something wrong with the equipment?” Billy stared at Bonnie as he spoke, trying to catch every emotion she showed.

‘If I was right about Barrett discovering the hidden cameras and hacking into my security system, he’ll know what my question means. I must read his body language for any guilt or panic.’

If Billy saw either of these emotions, he would know something was up with Bonnie. However, she was perceptive and quickly caught his intentions. She assumed her poker face and said, “It might not be the hardware’s fault if there are inconsistencies in the footage.”

Billy noticed her calmness and thought, ‘Hmm, he looks calm. I see nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe there is something wrong with our security cameras and system, after all.’

With that in mind, he played along and asked, “It’s not the hardware, huh? Then, what is it? Francesco and I have been racking our brains but can’t fix it.”
