Toby dropped the subject and said, "All right, I''ll do everything possible to stall. I''ll make up an excuse and keep Ms. Bonnie''s actions from Mr. Ivor."


    "Thanks a bunch." Collin hung up the call after expressing his gratitude. Then, he sent Bonnie a flurry of texts.


    "Code red, Chief! You must reply and tell me what to do immediately, or you''ll blow your cover!"


    "Your husband is getting suspicious! He might fly back to Pyralis to look for you. It''s over for you if he discovers you''re not there!"


    "I''m begging you, Chief! Please hurry up and reply to my texts!"


    ...


    Although Collin bombarded Bonnie with texts, he still received no replies. He could only stare at his phone and wait for a response that might nevere.


    He felt a chill down his spine as he paced back and forth, muttering, "Please respond to my texts, Chief. Otherwise, it''s over for all of us!"


    Bonnie woke up feeling a little dizzy.


    It seemed Billy had kept his word and did not allow his henchmen to disturb her after theirst encounter Hence, she felt pretty well rested now. She massaged her temples and took her phone from the table, only to see countless texts from Collin.


    ''Did something happen?''


    Bonnie bolted upright and read each text. Her eyes widened in shock when she realized Ivor had asked Toby about her whereabouts. Immediately after, she called Collin. Buzz, buzz! Buzz!


    Collin heard his phone vibrating and


    quickly checked it. He was so


    excited to


    see Bonnie''s caller ID that


    he could almost cry. He answered it and waited, "Damn it, Chief! What took you so long?! You have no idea how much pressure I was under waiting for your reply!


    "What''ll you do if your husband discovers you''re not in Pyralis? It might destroy your rtionship with him!" Collin vented his frustrations. His concern for her rtionship with Ivor was apparent.


    Bonnie grumbled, "It won''t destroy our rtionship, even if he found out I''m not in Pyralis. At most, it''ll be harder for me to take a long break from home to deal with this mission."


    She knew Ivor did not call to find her. Instead, he was just worried about her safety. As far as Ivor was concerned, his wife had never been the type to stay idle. She even expected him to call asionally.


    Collinposed himself and asked,


    "You''ll need to devise a solutionN?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    quickly Chief. We''re awaiting your


    orders. Your friend at the research institute is more anxious than I am. He''s been waiting to contact you."


    "Don''t rush yourselves." Bonnie frowned and rubbed her chin. "Let me think about it. Since I''m in Billy''s organization, doing anything will be challenging. I''ll need time to devise a perfect solution."
