I Love You, Miss Genius

Ivor's lips curled into a grin.

"Is that your way of praising me?"

She giggled before rolling her eyes. "I was just making a casual remark, but you still manage to spin it. Your shamelessness knows no bounds, Ivor."

He laughed and walked toward her. Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Wiping the smile off his face, he walked over to open the door. He frowned when he saw that it was Floyd. "Why are you knocking on her door at this time of night?" Ivor was obviously dissatisfied.

'I know Ivor doesn't want me to get in the way of their private time, but this is too important. It can't wait.'

He braced himself, took a step close to Ivor, and whispered, "Please come with me, Mr. Ivor. I need to talk to you about the chip."

"The chip?" Ivor was visibly worked up. "Do you have the news about the chip?"

Floyd nodded in response.

"Wait for me in the study. I'll be there soon." Ivor said.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

I've gone to great lengths to track down the chip back then. It has been so long, too. I was even considering giving up on searching for it. I can't believe Floyd gave me such great news!'

"Copy that." Floyd responded and made his way to the study.

Ivor turned around and walked over to Bonnie. "Something came up, and I have to go to the study to deal with it. Go to sleep. I'll be back in a jiffy." She yawned and waved at him. "Hurry on over to the study. Don't worry about me. I'll sleep when I'm tired."

"Alright. I'll be leaving now." He pecked her cheek. Then, he walked briskly out the door.

Touching the wet sensation on her cheeks, she couldn't help but blush a little. At the same time, she grumbled internally.

'How shameless. He needed to work on something, but he didn't neglect to take advantage of me before he did it!"

Later, Ivor sat on his chair in the study while Floyd gave him the latest update.

"We managed to find out that someone named Falcon posted the chip on the dark web. A lot of buyers are vying for it. Some of them are even offering 100 million dollars. I'm not sure if it's okay to proceed with buying it, so I'm here to check with you, Mr. Ivor."

Ivor pondered it for a moment before he said immediately, "It's just 100 million dollars. The chip is worth more than that. Go ahead and offer a billion dollars. Tell me how Falcon responds to you, then.

"Remember. Don't pay him a cent until you've seen the chip itself! Ask him to give us the chip, and we'll give him the money after that." Floyd nodded slightly and responded, "Gotcha, Ms. Ivor. With that said, don't you think a billion dollars is a bit much?"

Ivor shook his head. "Not at all. The chips contain a lot of technology that we have use for. I'll pay him that amount of money if that's what it takes to get the chip. It'll be worth it."
