Chapter 478: Chapter 478

Ivor got straight to the point. “The thing is, this lady used the clay teapot, which was passed down for several generations. So, all she had to do was pour some hot water in, and it’d easily make a cup of tea with rich flavor.”

Bonnie’s eyes widened as she stared at him.

“I-It’s you!”

“Yeah, it’s me. I admit I’m not surprised because I found you very familiar and approachable. It turns out that it was you all along.”

His gaze grew more intense by the second. “You pleasantly surprise me over and over again. Hurry up and tell me about everything you’re skilled at. I can’t wait to learn everything about you.”

“None of you believed me. I’m not skilled in that many areas. If anything, I’m only good in one area,”

she said, feeling a headache coming on.

“What area is that? Hurry up and tell me! Come on, Bonnie!”

“I don’t feel like saying it now.”

He looked at her with humor in his eyes. “So, that’s what’s happening. You said you’re good in that one area on purpose. You’re trying to keep me on the hook, you naughty girl.”

At the next moment, he bit her lips.

“Ouch… What are you doing?”

He didn’t bite down that hard, but there was a tingling sensation in her that turned her face red instantly.

“I’m punishing you. You’ve been naughty, after all.” He admired the bite marks on her lips as he spoke.

Her lips were rosy and plump. He wished he could savor its taste again.

She shoved him away from her. “Are you a rabid dog? I can’t believe you bit me!”

He touched his lips, reliving the moment when he bit her. She noticed it, and her face turned even redder.

“Get away from me!” She walked past him and left angrily.

Ivor watched her with a smile. He couldn’t resist chuckling out loud.

Bonnie was still within earshot. When she heard his chuckles, she eagerly wanted to punch him.

'No, I know him too well. If I do that, he might take it as a sign that I love him. He’s going to ask me to punch him a few more times to demonstrate how much I love him.’

She held her forehead and thought, ‘Forget it. I’m not going to get into a whole thing with that pervert.’

It was the weekend. She went to her research institute and sorted through the recent information.

“The new guy’s going to be here soon, Ms. Bonita. Do you want to meet him in person?” Professor Terry asked.

“Sure. Bring him to me when he arrives.”

“Understood.”

Toby was standing outside the research institute as his heart pounded with excitement.

‘This is the place every researcher in Arvandor wants to be! I used to fantasize about this. If I get into the research institute, I’ll have no regrets for the rest of my life!

Toby clutched his left chest. His heart was pounding like crazy. Taking a deep breath, he headed toward the gate.

“I’ll need to see the visitor pass,” the security guard uttered.

“I-I’m the winner of the Scientific Research Competition in Pyralis University. I-I’m here…” He grew more nervous the more he talked.

Normally, he was calm and under control. However, he was still young. So, he wasn’t that experienced and composed.

That was when Terry walked over.

“You’re here at last. Come on, it’s time to go inside. Ms. Bonita is waiting for you.”
