I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1179

’ The last thing I want is for Billy to catch me lying. It would be a mess if he didn't let go of a single inconsistency.’

Billy put down his chess piece and looked over. He frowned seeing Francesco return alone.

"Why did you come back all by yourself? Didn't I ask you to get Barrett? Where's he?"

Francesco explained hastily, "Barrett said that he had just woken up and was feeling tired. He was covered in sweat from his nap. So, he said he'll be here after he's taken a shower."

Billy nodded. "I guess we'll wait for him, then."

"That's what I told him, too," Francesco responded.

All of a sudden, something popped into his mind and he asked, "Are you sure you're going to have the hidden camera in his room removed? Aren't you going to observe him for a little longer?"

"There's no need to monitor him anymore. The dinner later will be his final test. If he passes it, then I'm going to start using his skills as my own. If the opposite proves to be true, then I'll deal with him right there!"

The only reason he asked Bonnie here was so his men would remove the hidden camera while she wasn't in the room.

"Frankly speaking, I find him quite honest. I have every faith that he'll pass my test! I wanted the hidden camera removed because I did not want him to find out we had installed it in the first place.
