One of the researchers couldn't take it anymore. He cleared his throat gently. "Um... If you guys want to act lovey-dovey, you're free to do so back in your place. We're in the middle of nowhere here, so it's not exactly appropriate."
The other researchers went along with him.
"That's right, Mr. Ivor, Ms. Bonita. This isn't the place to be doing this."
"You guys should head back home and do everything you want to do. Just don't act lovey-dovey in front of us. We can't take it..."
Even though they wanted Bonnie and Ivor to stay sweet and have a loving relationship, they could not take it when the couple behaved overly romantically in front of them.
Bonnie heard what they said, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She awkwardly freed her hand from Ivor's grasp and glared at him accusingly.
"Did you hear them? Rein it in. Not everyone is as thick-skinned as you are!"
Ivor chuckled. He was aware that Bonnie was rather reserved in front of other people. So, he didn't hold her hand again.
He raised his eyes and swept them across the desolate land around him. His smile faded and he frowned slightly.
"Why would you choose to have your new research institute here, Bonnie? If you run into some hazards, the relevant departments won't be able to reach here in time. Isn't that going to put everyone's lives in jeopardy?"
Bonnie knew Ivor would ask something like this. So, she had prepared an answer for it.
"Look at it another way, Ivor. Isn't the most dangerous place also the safest place to be? Ordinary people would never think that I'd set up my new research institute at a palace like this."
Then, she noticed that Ivor didn't seem to have any suspicions.
She paused for a brief moment before she continued, "Furthermore, the facilities here aren't fully established here. Once it is, I'll ask Jim to send some security guards here."
Ivor felt much better. "Now that you put it that way, I'm also starting to think that this place isn't as dangerous as I thought."
Ivor raised his head and looked at the shoddily constructed house Bonnie came out of with her group of researchers.
"I haven't seen what your new research institute looks like. Is it okay if I go inside and take a look?"
Bonnie's body tensed up. Then, she feigned nonchalance and responded, "It looks the same as before. There's nothing special about it."
"Is it okay if I take a look at it?" Ivor emphasized.
'Judging by Bonnie's response, I have a feeling that she doesn't really want me to go inside and look at the place.
'I've had my suspicions that Bonnie didn't stay in Pyralis the entire time I was gone. It's just a speculation. I don't have any proof to back it up.
'Now that I'm here, it's a wonderful
opportunity for me to take a look at Bonnie's new research institute. I can see if I have to install more facilities or equipment for her.'
།
"Sure. Why wouldn't it be?" Bonnie said as she led him in. "I just want to
"at my research institute
the same. So, there isn't much to see there."
'I asked Toby to get everything ready before I returned. However, I had not seen it for myself. I have no idea how Toby set up the research institute here.
'I am just going on a hunch and saying that this research institute is almost identical to my previous research institute. But I'm not too sure about it.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
'I did not have time to prepare anything before Ivor arrived at Pyralis. What a coincidence. It's almost as if both of us touched down at Pyralis at the same time.
'However, Ivor was supposed to
come back from a neighboring country, while I flew back from Yale. We were at different parts of the pl. So, it must've been a coincidence and nothing more...
"That's fine. It's just a quick look."
Ivor followed Bonnie. He saw the uneven ground and couldn't help but remind her, "Watch your step. Don't trip now."
