I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 13

Mentor?

They looked at the person Kay Steele was talking to and realized it was Bonnie!

Everyone, including Dwayne, widened their eyes in astonishment.

Bonnie recognized Kay. She was the girl who had wanted to learn kickboxing from her.

“Just give up, okay? I’m not going to teach you anything.”

Kay looked at Bonnie desperately. “Come on. I promise I’ll be a good student. Please? I’m begging you!

H

Everyone looked at Bonnie in disbelief.

Was the VVIP who had terrified Dwayne really begging Bonnie for something?

Your mentor?”

“What’s this about, Ms. Kay? Why do you want her to be Dwayne asked tentatively.

“It’s none of your goddamn business!” Kay rolled her eyes at Dwayne and continued to plead with

Bonnie.

“Please, Ms. Bonnie. If you agree to mentor me, I’ll do anything you say.” Her abrupt change of attitude showed how little regard she had for Dwayne.

“I told you

you, I’m not taking students,” Bonnie said with a frown.

Kay dropped the subject when she saw that Bonnie was getting impatient with her. “Are you here for karaoke? Why don’t you join us?”

“She’s the birthday girl. You should ask her.”

Bonnie looked at Sacha.

Kay shot Sacha a meaningful glare.

Sacha shuddered. “Since Ms. Kay has invited us to join her, why not?“.

Kay chuckled. “She said yes, Ms. Bonnie.”

“Alright then.”

Kay sat beside Bonnie and started talking nonstop.

Sacha felt a little neglected. It was her birthday, after all.

“Are you okay, Sacha?” Tilda asked, concerned.

Sacha played the victim and shook her head with tears in her eyes. “I’m fine.”

But anyone could tell she was not fine at all.

Sacha’s friends whispered among themselves.

“Bonnie is so inconsiderate! She knows it’s Sacha’s birthday, but she’s trying to steal the limelight.”

“But why would Bonnie know a VVIP like Ms. Kay?”

“She must have done something sneaky to meet her, of course. What a conniving, shameless bitch!”

Kay heard them.

“Hey, assholes! If it weren’t for Ms. Bonnie, you wouldn’t be able to have your party here.

Since Kay had said it herself, the others could only lower their heads.

“You’re the ones who were being inconsiderate, you idiots!”

Kay looked at Bonnie.

“Do you mind if I kick them out?”

Bonnie raised her brow and said, “Go ahead.”

“How could you,

you, Bonnie? They were just talking. Don’t be so petty.” Sacha spoke up.

Bonnie smiled at her. “You’re done? Good. You can leave now. You too, Dwayne.”

Dwayne, Sacha, and others were exasperated.

“Hey, what are you waiting for? Get lost!”

Kay waved, and several bodyguards marched toward them.

Dwayne and others quickly hurried out of the room.

‘Do you like the way I handled that?” Kay asked Bonnie.

“Thanks for getting rid of them. I don’t like to owe anyone favors.”

“So will you mentor me?” Kay asked excitedly.

“I need to check with the guy who taught me kickboxing first.

“Who is he? I bet he’s a master!”

“His last name is Burns. He lives in the mountains.”

Kay’s eyes went wide.

“Are you talking about Cary Burns, the guy who’s over a hundred years old?”

“Uh–huh.

“Oh my God! He’s the greatest kickboxer in the country. So that’s why you’re so good! I heard that all his students are kickboxing experts.”

At that moment, Bonnie received a text from Cary that read, “I don’t mind if you start teaching.”

Kay heard the message notification, craned her neck to look, and leapt to her feet in excitement when she saw what it said.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

The phone dinged again as another message from Cary popped up.

“My second student has just returned to Arvandor. You should meet up with her.”

His second student? Bonnie had never met her before.

She had only heard Cary say that her senior was an amazing kickboxer.

“Okay, I’ll go see her when I’m free.‘

And so she agreed to teach Kay kickboxing.

On the 28th, the press conference for the new nanomaterial was about to begin.

Bonnie arrived at the venue early in the morning. Just as she was thinking about going backstage, Vera stopped her.

“Bonnie? How on earth did you get in here? You didn’t sneak in, did you?”

Vera grew worried. “You should leave right now. Ms. Bonita and her team will be holding the press conference here later. This is no place for you to fool around.”

“I didn’t sneak in, okay?”

Bonnie needed to rush backstage. Many industry leaders had arrived, and reporters were armed with their cameras and microphones, ready for the press conference to begin. As the leader of the research team, she had to give a speech.

“Why do you lie so much? You-”

The voice of the host on stage interrupted Vera.

“The press conference is about to begin. Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen.”

As she saw the VIPS taking their seats, Vera glared at Bonnie.

“What are you standing there for? Go find a seat!”

Bonnie frowned. “I have things to do.”

“Just come with me!”

Vera grabbed Bonnie’s wrist and pulled her toward the seats.

The host continued, “It’s time to begin the press conference, ladies and gentlemen. Ms. Bonita will start us off with some opening thoughts.”
