I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 567

Bonnie answered, “He’s the CEO of Knight Group, located in Pyralis. He’s also the representative of Arvandor’s economy.”

Ivor’s titles surprised Auguste. The latter could sense the young man’s imposing air and readily accepted it.

“So, you’re the richest man in Pyralis. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Ivor,” Auguste said as he gazed between Bonnie and Ivor. “Pardon my curiosity, but you two seem pretty intimate. What’s your relationship?”

“Professional,” Bonnie replied dryly, causing Ivor to frown.

‘I know she answered him that way because she needs to consider the bigger picture. Still, I’d be lying if I said that didn’t hurt me. I’ll have to snatch her away and make myself feel better tonight.’

“Are you sure?” Auguste squinted at her.

Bonnie remained casual and revealed no hints about her relationship with Ivor. She said, “If you’re asking me about my personal life, you’ll have to excuse me for not answering. After all, I’m pretty busy.”

Auguste chuckled. “Forgive me for crossing the line. I was looking for you to congratulate you on developing the latest nanomaterial and becoming the most prestigious scientist in the world.”

Bonnie stared at him grimly and said, “I thought you’d be upset.”

“Why would you say that?”

“That title belonged to you before I came into the picture. However, the title is firmly within my grasp now that I’ve developed the latest nanomaterial.”

August knew she put it that way to probe him. He countered, “It doesn’t matter which country made a scientific breakthrough. Your unbelievable discovery of nanomaterials benefits Arvandor and the world.”

“Well said!” Bonnie clapped. “I was a little petty just then. I just learned that someone has hired the SR League to assassinate me. Someone from my government even asked me if I offended anyone. After much consideration, I eventually thought of you, Auguste.”
