Collin could hear the exhaustion in Bonnie's tone and couldn't help but worry about her.
"It must've been very tiring, chief. You have to keep your guard up against Billy and prevent them from finding out about you.

I would love to help you with sof your issues if I could, but I'm not capable enough to do it." 'Chief used to helpso many times when I was facing difficulties. Now, however, I am powerless to help her when she's in a pinch. This is an awful feeling to have.' "I don't feel overwhelmed or anything." Bonnie let out a sigh of relief. "I just hope everything will run smoothly in the end." Collin comforted her, "I know they will, chief." "Mm-hmm." Bonnie responded faintly, "Dial Ivor's number with my phone now. I'll explain it to him." She might've seemed calm, but her hand was covered in sweat.
'The truth is, I was a little panicked when I met with this kind of emergency. I wonder if Ivor would interrogatethe sway he did earlier.
'It's not a big deal if he did. What matters is that I can trick him and keep all of this a secret again. Nothing else matters.' "Alright," Collin responded. Then, he took her phone and called Ivor again.
It took Ivor less than a second to pick up the phone. Then, both of them heard his charming voice from the other end of the phone.
"Why did you hang up all of a sudden, Bonnie? I gave you several calls, but you didn't answer me, either. Did something happen at your research institute?" She had been racking her brain to cup with an excuse that would help her keep the whole thing a secret. Now that she heard what he said, a sparkle flashed in her eyes. Then, she played along.
"Y-Yeah. There was a minor accident during the research. The new guy mixed up the reagent and used the wrong one. He very nearly ruined the entire research. It took everything I had to save it." Then, she faked a weary sigh. "Looks like I can't let them participate in the research if they're not sufficiently trained. Otherwise, they might undo everything I've worked for." Ivor heard what she said and recalled what Toby told him. "If memory servesright, Toby said this is a huge project. Why would you let an amateur participate in this research?" A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, then she covered her mouth and coughed a little before saying, "You're right. It's important research.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's a brand new challenge toas well as my researchers. I thought I'd bring the new researchers into the institute and train them on the job. I didn't expect them to make such a blunder!" At first, Ivor found the whole thing strange. Now that he heard her explanation, he immediately understood what had happened.
"So, that's what it is. This is quite a ovel
serious issue you're having here. Just make them observe you the next tyou conduct an an experimentin Don't let them participate in it until they're sufficiently proficient.
Otherwise, they might botch the research you've painstakingly built up." She nodded in approval. "You're speaking my mind, Ivor."
"I'm sorry, Bonnie. I shouldn't have questioned you earlier." Ivor hadm thought about what Collin said and reflected on his mistake while he waited by the phone.
"You're right. If I want to meet you as soon as possible, I should hurry up and finish my work so I can return to Pyralis and be with you. That'll reduce a lot of suspicion between us." X
