Bonniezily yawned and found afortable position leaning against Ivor''s chest. "You can speak now." Ivor gently twirled her hair, saying, "I heard that the new president of Pyralis University made a speech today. Did you see her? What kind of person is she?" Bonnie nced at him, then raised her delicately arched eyebrows, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing.


    "You''re still as interested in this president as ever." Ivor nodded, openly admitting his thoughts.


    "Of course, she''s the president of Pyralis University. Building a good rtionship with her would greatly benefit my family''s future development." Bonnie shook her head andmented, "You''re greedy. You partnered with my research institute and dismantled the Gemedia Group. Now your family''s position in Pyralis is as stable as Mount Everest. It''s better to develop steadily, yet you want to reach the sky in one step?" "You''re right. I am greedy enough to turn everything of yours to mine, including your hair," Ivor said, picking up a strand of Bonnie''s hair that fell on her cheek and sniffing it lightly.


    He was so cheesy that it made Bonnie''s skin crawl. She pushed Ivor''s away and said, "Stop it. Stay away from me, or I''ll punch you!" "Honey, what did I do wrong? Why do you want to hit me?" Ivor pretended to look pitifully at Bonnie.

    Bonnie''s twitched helplessly. "That''s enough. Don''t act anymore, or it''ll be overyed." Ivor blinked his ink-ck eyes slowly.


    "But Honey, I''m not acting. These are all from the bottom of my heart-" Before he finished speaking, Bonnie quickly reached out to cover his mouth and gave him a warning re with her eyes. "Stop talking." Upon seeing this, Ivor smiled, and a hint ofughter escaped his throat. "Okay, okay, I won''t say anything. Don''t be angry." He was just deliberately teasing the girl. Seeing that she was getting angry, he had to stop, lest he angered her, which would be more harm than good.


    "So you''re afraid that I''ll get angry?↓ thought you weren''t afraid of anything." Bonnie gave him a yel.ne sidelong nce and withdrew her hand from his mouth.


    "Of course, I''m afraid. What if you get angry and ignore me?" Ivor put his arm around Bonnie''s shoulder, letting her lean on him.


    "Cto my ce tonight, don''t go to Verdant Valley Retreat." Bonnie looked at him strangely. "You wantto go to your ce? What are your intentions?"


    Ivor felt a little helpless at her words.


    "I just want you to apany re What bad idea could there be? Don''t En: you trust in me?"


    "I don''t know you yet. You''re not honest at all. Bonnie,let Bonnie let out a soft! hum. "I can''t go to your ce. I have En sexpérimental issues to  discuss with them tonight, anall the materials are at Verdant Valley Retreat. We''ll talk about itter." A trace of disappointment flickered in Ivor''s eyes, but Bonnie''s experiment was more important, so he didn''t say much.


    "Okay, you handle your business first. We''ll talk about going to my ce when you''re free." Bonnie responded faintly, "Hmm."


    Ivor was finishing up with the documents as night fell, and as he sat back in his chair Bonnie''s figure suddenly appeared in his mind, lingering no matter how hard he tried to shake it off.
