Before Bonnie could reject, Russell added, âAfter all, youâre their new leader. Youâre the new president of Pyralis University. Are you honestly going to ask me to keep your identity hidden when youâre the new head? How does that even make sense?â
She thought about it and found that he had a point. âAlright, then. Weâll do it your way.â
He was thrilled to see that she had given way to his wishes. It felt as if he had primarily recovered from his illness. He whipped his head and looked at his assistant. He said excitingly, âDo it, now! Inform the top management personnel that we will have the meeting tomorrow!â
His assistant reminded him. âTomorrowâs Saturday, Mr. Russell.â
âGeez. Look at me and my dummy brain! Gah! Why does it have to be a Saturday tomorrow?â Russell was so worked up that he worried she might change her mind after a few days.
âCalm down, Mr. Russell. We can have the meeting next Monday!â
âHow am I supposed to calm down? Weâre talking about three days here! I have to work my butt to finally trick Bonnie into taking the position.
âWhat will I do if she regrets her decision after a few days? Will you find another worthy person to take over my position?â Russell growled.
His assistantâs jaw dropped. Then, he gave the president a look.
Russell came back to his senses and looked at her immediately. âDonât get me wrong, Bonnie. I donât mean that. I didnât try to trick you. I wanted you to be the university president! Iâm honestly doing whatâs best for my students. Iâ¦â
âItâs okay, Russell.â She smiled hopelessly. âIt doesnât matter if youâre tricking me. The fact is, I gave you my word, and I intend to keep it. Donât worry about it. Iâll be there in the meeting on Monday.â
Russell let out a sigh of relief. He could finally rest easy now.
Bonnie returned to her villa and caught a delicious odor from the kitchen. She entered it and was pleasantly surprised to see Ivor making dinner.
âYouâre home. Wash your hands. Dinnerâs about to be ready.â The affection in his voice was unmistakable, and she liked it.
Walking over to his side, she saw that he had finished several dishes. They looked delicious,
too.
âWhen did you learn to cook?â
âIâve seen you done it a few times. So, I secretly remembered the steps.â
h, so thatâs how it is. You stole my culinary skills. You have to know that this is a serious offense. Tell me, what will you do about it?â she said deliberately.
Taking off the apron, he unbuttoned his shirt.
âWâWhat do you think youâre doing?â She took a step back.
âDidnât you just ask me to do something about it? Well, itâs not like you need money. So, I have no choice but to offer you my excellent body.â He said it in the most gentlemanly tone.
She couldnât help but roll her eyes at him. Then, she changed the topic immediately. âLetâs eat. I want to taste your cooking.â
He stopped in his tracks. He had unbuttoned a couple of his buttons. If only she had gone along with him, he wouldâve done it all through.
Not long after, he served all the dishes on the dining table.
âDinnerâs ready, Vince. Come on down,â she shouted at the little boy upstairs.
âAlright. Iâm coming.â The little boy raced down the stairs.
Ivor stared at Vince. The longer he stared at the latter, the more he thought the little boy looked familiar. For his life, he couldnât place it.
She sat at the dining table and realized Ivor made her favorite dishes. She couldnât help but feel moved by this gesture.
Stabbing a piece of Jamaican jerk pork ribs, she took a bite. Then, her eyes sparkled.
âNot bad at all. Itâs rich and savory, not too greasy. Also, I can taste the hint of sweetness without it overpowering the meatâs flavor. I didnât think you could do this well on a first try.â
âWhy, of course. You have to know just how awesome I am by now.â Ivor said, thrilled.
âItâs not his first ribs, though. He spent the whole day in the kitchen. He even burnt his hand.â Vince noticed how he hid his hands under the table.
Suddenly, she put down her cutlery and walked over to Ivor. Then, she took his hands swiftly and examined them.
There were a lot of blisters on the back of his hands.
