Chapter 94
She wouldn't have wasted her tif she hadn't wanted to teach Trina a lesson.
Vera turned to look at Bonnie after she sent Trina to her room upstairs.
“What are you doing with Ms. Bonita’s researchers?”
“I know them.” Bonnie had no intention of explaining anything.
“Who?” Vera pressed.
“I can’t tell you.” Worried that Vera wouldn't give it up, she added, “He wouldn't lettell anyone, so | can’t.”
Vera frowned. “I have no idea how you met any one of them, but | need to tell you something.
Everyone at Ms. Bonita’s research institute is extraordinary. | know what you're like, so it’s highly likely you'll
offend one of them.
“I want you to stay away from them. Don't try to approach anyone because you want to make connections. |
don’t want you to make a mess so big it'll dragand your father down, or affect the entire family.”

Bonnie remained quiet.
“Beep!” It was a text from Ivor.
“Are you coming htonight?”
Another text cbefore she could reply.
you don’t chome, we'll have to extend our engagement for ten more days, just like last time.”
Bonnie was speechless for a few seconds before she composed a reply. “I'm coming back now.”
Trina stood by the window of the second floor and stared at Bonnie from behind the curtain as she
left through the gate.
“Do you think you've won the war by humiliatingtoday, Bonnie? Hah! Dream on. We won't know who the real
victor is until the very last moment.
Trina called someone. “Follow Bonnie. Remember, be careful. Don’t let anyone find out about you. Take videos
and photos and send them towhen she goes back to her place.”
Instead of returning to the Knight premises, Bonnie took a stroll in the pedestrian zone. She hadn't taken a walk
just for fun ever since she started working on the nanomaterial.
Then, she realized that someone was following her!
Bonnie stopped in her tracks, turned, and looked around. A crowd milled around in the pedestrian zone. All sorts
of people were here.

One of them caught Bonnie's attention. It was a man around six-foot-five, wearing a bucket hat mask, and a pair
of sunglasses. His face was almost entirely covered.
When he realized Bonnie had noticed him, he tried to squeeze into the crowd.
Bonnie shook her head helplessly and said, “You're not built for disguise.”
Jim heard what she said and decided to give up hiding. He walked out of the crowd sheepishly.
“Was | really that bad at disguising myself?” He said as he took his sunglasses off.
“You should put the sunglasses back on. Someone might recognize you. There's a lot of people here. You won't

Jim was wearing his real face instead of disguising himself as Tim.
“You have a point.” Jim wasn’t concerned that someone would recognize him, but he was worried about the
chaos that would follow if that did happen. It could put Bonnie in danger.
“Why are you following me?” She asked.
“I'm your bodyguard. | have to keep you safe at all times.” He swept his eyes across the place as he spoke.
Bonnie slapped her forehead. He protected her as Tim when he was on duty. Then, he had to protect her with his
real identity when he was off duty.
Forget it. Nothing she could say would change his mind.
“There's a barbeque stall over there. It's pretty quiet. How about we grab a bite?” She suggested.
“Sure.”
Bonnie and Jim sat down in a spot near the corner and ordered sbarbeque and beers.
Jim had just taken his mask off when he sensed something and whipped his head around.
