I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 71

Chapter 71

Bonnie said casually, “You’ll stay away from me and Ivor for the duration of our agreement if I win. You’re annoying ”

She looked at Rowena and added, “That means you, too.”

“Sure!” Halle gritted her teeth. “What happens if you lose?”

“Then I lose,” Bonnie said softly.

“Why, you! Shouldn’t you have to pay a price if you lose? You’re such a cheater. Looks like you know just how to take advantage of someone else!”

Bonnie leaned on a pillar nonchalantly and raised her brows. “We can just forget about this competition if you don’t like the deal.”

Damn that Bonnie! Both Halle and Rowena were so pissed they wanted to pounce on her. Bonnie had the high ground, and they could think of nothing to say to her!

Floyd stood by Ivor’s side and muttered, “Ms. Bonnie’s kind of tough.”

“How long did it take for you to figure that out?”

Floyd turned to look at Ivor and saw that he seemed very proud of her.

The competition started when all the materials for flower arranging had been prepared.

“Wait,” said Bonnie.

Halle crossed her arms and said, “What’s the matter? Are you regretting your decision? Are you going to give up because you know what’s good for you?”

“I’m not one to admit defeat. I just have a question. How are we going to decide who wins?”

Flower arranging wasn’t the same as chess. You could tell a clear victor in a chess match. On the other hand, flower arranging was a visual art. It depended on whether it was pleasing to the viewer, which meant it could be very subjective.

Since Bonnie was at the Knight family’s party, she worried that the viewers here would appreciate Halle’s work more when they were both done.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve asked someone to bring in an expert in the art of flower arranging. I’ll make sure you’ll accept your loss!” Halle was prepared for this.

“I have no more questions, then. Let’s begin.”

Time passed as guests gathered around Bonnie. Some guests gathered around Rowena at first, but when they noticed a crowd congregating around Bonnie, they were curious, so they went over to see

her work too.

“How wonderful! It’s so visually pleasing! She’s like an expert herself!”

“Look at that last stalk of silver ragwort. It was so well done!”

“You can see the flowers hanging both high and low, and she has just the right amount of densely packed and loosely strewn flowers. The abstract and the real have been blended together in perfect harmony, and each layer is wonderfully done. It’s a feast for the eyes!”

“It’s elegant and graceful, but it’s also evoking some deep thought. I could stand here looking at it all day.”

Rowena was irritated as she heard the guests showering Bonnie with compliments.

“Hey! Why are all of you focusing on Bonnie? Rowena’s done with her arrangement too! Why aren’t you looking at her flowers?” Halle stomped her feet in anger.

But nobody turned around even after she yelled at them. They continued to appreciate Bonnie’s flower arrangement.

Was it really that good?

Halle squeezed into the crowd and looked at the flowers on the table. She couldn’t help but exclaim,” Wow! That’s amazing!” She quickly covered her mouth as her face turned red.

Rowena made her way there too. She squeezed into the crowd, displeased, but all she could do after seeing Bonnie’s flowers was lower her head.

Bonnie looked at Halle. “Where’s the expert?”

Halle and Rowena’s faces turned very red at that.

Bonnie frowned and asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
