Despite his words, Paul's expectant gaze made it clear he hoped Bonnie would agree.
Bonnie pressed her fingers to her temples, feeling a headache coming on. After a moment of thought, she finally agreed.
"Since you've already made arrangements, I'll attend the ceremony."
Although attending the ribbon-cutting with Ivor posed a risk of exposure, the event would be brief. As long as she concealed herself well, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Her agreement took Paul aback. "Ms. Jody, you're agreeing to attend the ribbon-cutting?"
Bonnie responded calmly, "Yes."
"Thank you, Ms. Jody! I'll inform the other professors and high-level staff immediately so they can prepare."
Not just Paul but all the professors and high-level staff had wondered if Bonnie would attend the ribbon-cutting. She had previously expressed her dislike for such occasions, although she had agreed to give a speech at the end of the term to meet students' expectations.
However, the ribbon-cutting was a different type of event, and they still hoped Ms. Jody, as the head of the university, would participate. Paul had asked with little expectation, but now he needed to share the good news quickly.
"Okay, arrange it and notify me of the confirmed time," Bonnie said before hanging up.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The professor soon sent the event details, and the ribbon-cutting would be the next day. Bonnie confirmed and began planning her disguise for the event.
Bonnie intentionally stayed in bed
longer the next day. Once Ivor had left, she got up, quickly washed, dressed, and observed the activity outside through the window.
As soon as she saw Ivor's usual limited edition, Maybach left the
house, she hurried her prepar
and carried a bag with her disguise downstairs.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into Ivor right away. Bonnie's eyes widened, and she gripped her bag tighter.
'I had seen his usual car leave, so why is he still here? is it just bad luck that he didn't take it today?'
Ivor waved a hand in front of her face. "Bonnie, what's wrong?"
Bonnie snapped out of it, trying to act nonchalant. "Nothing. I thought you'd already left for work. Why are you still here?"
"I'm going to your university for the ribbon-cutting. I wanted to tell you last night, but you were asleep when I finished work, and you were still asleep this morning."
As Ivor spoke, his gaze drifted to the bag in Bonnie's hand. "Where are you going with that bag?"
"To the lab. There's something I need to finish," Bonnie lied, her heart racing but her expression calm.
"Oh..." Ivor's eyes lingered on the bag. "But you don't usually take anything to the lab. What's in the bag?" Bonnie instinctively hid the bag behind her and maintained a calm exterior.
