I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 225

“Hey! Do you even hear yourself, Nia? You guys are the ones cutting the queue here! How dare you

“That’s quite enough, Avril. I’ll handle it.” Daken stopped his daughter and stood before both of them.

Looking at his broad shoulders, Bonnie couldn’t resist whispering to her. “Your father loves you very much.”

Avril felt a pang of heartache on Bonnie’s behalf. ‘Poor Bonnie’s right. My dad loves me very much, unlike her parents, who have treated her so poorly.‘

Reaching out, she patted Bonnie’s hand and said, “Remember this, Bonnie. Our door is always open for you. If you should ever feel like you don’t belong anywhere, then the Smiths will more than welcome you into the family. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“My dad talked about you during dinner once, and my mom said she liked you. She’d love it if you could join us for dinner sometime. She wants to be your godmother. We’re just wondering if you’ll be okay with it.”

That completely took Bonnie by surprise. She stared at Avril’s expressions and failed to find any signs of deception. She was a keen judge of characters, too. It seemed like Avil was telling her the truth.

Then, she shifted her gaze to Daken and began to see him as an older person who treasured and protected her.

“Hear me out, Dermot. Nia. We Smiths might not be as wealthy or powerful as the Dyngards now, but that doesn’t mean we could eventually rise above you. I’ll not tolerate your tyrannical actions!

“Bonnie is a friend of my daughter’s, and I consider myself an uncle to her. Both the hotel staff and the nearby guests saw that we were there first. For that matter, we’re the ones who asked them about a private room first.

“Not only are you not remorseful of cutting in the queue, but you’re throwing accusations around without a lick of shame. I wonder what will happen to your reputation if this gets out among the high society circles.”

Daken uttered each word with much elegance, but it had cut into both Dermot’s and Nia’s hearts. They were furious.

“Look at you now, Daken, acting all cocky with me! It’s just dumb luck that you got the collaboration with Tang Fusion Studios! You Smiths are nothing to me. So, maybe think twice before you start acting tough before me.

“As my daughter said, you did ask first, but we confirmed it before you did. That means the private room is ours! Mind you, I’m friends with the lobby manager of this fine hotel.‘

Well, speak of the devil. The lobby manager came rushing here after the hotel staff informed him about what happened.

“Here, at last, Robert. Will you please tell them who the private room belongs to?” Dermot cried out triumphantly.

Robert smiled and said, “My staff have told me about what happened. If you said it first, then, naturally, it’s yours.”

Both Daken and Avril grew grùm, feeling miserable and helpless.

On the other hand, the Dyngards gave Bonnie a sidelong glance before raising their chins high.

That was when Bonnie said, “Are you the lobby manager, Robert? Is this how you do your work?”

“That’s none of your…” Robert didn’t get to finish his sentence. The moment he saw Bonnie, he ground to a halt.

“It’s you, Ms. Boni…”

“That’s right. I’m Bonnie. Your memory is working quite well, I see.” She cut him off before he accidentally exposed her real identity.

Anyone who could become a lobby manager was perceptive and knew what to say under different situations, let alone he worked at the Jade Horizon Hotel.

“How could I ever forget you, Ms. Bonnie? I might forget many things, but I could never forget you!”
