I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 980

Ivor couldn't help but stare at Bonnie more profoundly when he saw how suspicious she was. He took brisk steps toward the bathroom and pushed the door wide open.

Her heart felt as if it had jumped to her throat. 'It's over!'

Her heart throbbed with the loud noise. She lowered her gaze. She knew Ivor must've been pitting himself against Collin, but she didn't have the courage to witness the moment.

However, she heard nothing for a long time.

Raising her head, she looked at the bathroom, only to find that it was empty. There was nobody in there.

'Eh? Where's Collin? Did he jump out of the bathroom window? This is wonderful. It's a good thing Ivor didn't see him. I got lucky yet again."

She let out a sigh of relief and raised her head. The next thing she knew, Ivor was staring into her eyes profoundly.

Her heart skipped a beat. Out of pure instinct, she pinched her nose tightly, as if she smelled something terrible.

"If you won't trust me, then see for yourself. Rather, smell for yourself! Is it awful enough for you? I can't believe you said I hid someone in there. What on earth are you thinking?!"

He didn't smell anything different, but he did find it rather odd that there was a boot print left on the floor.

"If there's no one else in there, then where did this dusty boot print come from?"

He directed his gaze at her feet.

"Your slippers are clean and free of dust. So, it couldn't have been yours. Someone else must've left the boot print."

She maintained her cool and waved her hand. "It could be a butler with a dusty shoe. Perhaps they came in here to clean the restroom and left the boot print. We're in our own home. How would someone other than our family and staff step foot into this villa?"

He mulled it over and thought she made a fine point.

"I guess you're right. However, that butler is way too careless. Why would he leave such a dirty bootprint here? It bugs me to look at it. I'm going to tell Alfred about this first thing in the morning and have him deal with it."

She waved and said, "Perhaps they made a mistake. Why are you taking it so seriously? Let's just pretend nothing happened instead. It's just a boot print. I'll wipe it off."

Then, she cleaned up the boot print with a tissue.

"There. It's clean."

He nodded. "I won't talk to Alfred about it, then. Whatever you say goes."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

'I still find her actions strange, but it was nothing more than a wild guess. I don't have any proof to back it up. It's better if I just drop it!'

"You shouldn't have worried too much about it. It was such a minor issue. There's no need to blow it up." Realizing that Collin wasn't here, she relaxed instantly and spoke in a cheerful tone.

Walking over to the couch. She sat and asked him, "Anyway, how did things go with your company? Is everything going smoothly?"

"I've worked out everything." He rubbed his eyebrow. "With that said, I had misunderstood Floyd. There's actually quite a lot of stuff to deal with. It's understandable that he couldn't handle it by himself."

She couldn't help but say playfully, "Do you think everyone could work as swiftly as you do?"
