I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1199

'That's not all of it, either. Barrett is also emanating this imposing aura in the most natural way that it tells me we're not in the same league as he is,' Francesco thought to himself.

Billy thought that Francesco was beyond help. He had made it crystal clear, and yet the latter still didn't get it. "Why don't you tell me, then? Aside from this, what else do you see in Barrett that's unusual?"

Francesco gave it a long thought and shook his head gently. "I don't think there is."

"What's the problem, then? Barrett is at a stage in his life where he'll start showing some sharp talents and act cocky for it. This also tells us that he's treating the people in our organization as one of his own.

"Otherwise, he would've treated you with politeness and formality. Why else did you think she treated you that harshly?" Billy said and thought to himself,

'I've literally spelled it out for him. He has to get it now!'

Francesco pondered it and thought his leader was making a fine point. However, he still had a subtle feeling that something was wrong.

"But—"

Before he could finish, Billy cut him off impatiently. "That's enough! I won't comment further on the subject. If you get it, great. If you don't, then we're done here! Also, don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."

What Billy said clearly reflected his disdain for Francesco for being the moron that he was.

'How am I not supposed to be frustrated with him? He has worked for me for a long time, and yet he hasn't learned a single thing. He's not even half as smart as Barrett is!

Billy was even more sure of himself now. He was going to groom Barrett as his second-in-command.

'Needless to say, I have some extremely capable henchmen in my organization, but none of them are anywhere close to Barrett.

'If I could win his loyalty and get him to work for me with all his heart and soul, I'm sure Barrett will help me rule over the rest of the international organizations. He'd become my extremely capable assistant!
