Chapter 87
Hadwin would love that. However…
“Let’s forget about it. It’ll be a disaster if they find us waiting here and we offend Ms. Bonita. Every wealthy, prestigious family in Pyralis will shun both our families. Ms. Bonita is a powerful woman,” “I don’t think she’s petty, though. She wouldn’t bear a grudge even if we did offend her. Anyway, we won’t be charging at her. We’d just be taking a peek from where we’re hiding. They won’t find us.”
Hadwin wrestled with himself again.
Trina noticed. She took his arms in hers and put on a cute voice to try to persuade him to do what she Ms. said. “Stop worrying about it, Hadwin. They won’t find out about us, I swear. More importantly, Bonita keeps a low profile. She’ll probably dress accordingly.
“What will we do if we run into her and offend her without knowing it was her? It’ll be all because we didn’t recognize her. We’re just doing this so we can prepare ourselves. If she needs help at some point, we might be able to benefit.
“If we know what she looks like, we can be the first to rush to her aid. And just like that, we’ll have made a connection with her! Once that happens, it’ll benefit both of our families. That’ll set us up for the future!”
Trina was very convincing. Hadwin gritted his teeth and said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let’s do it!”
They both hid in a corner and waited for Ms. Bonita and the researchers to leave their private room.
About an hour later, Ivor and Ged finished their meals and left their private room.
“Huh? What are they doing, sneaking around here? Nothing good, I bet.” Ged looked at Hadwin and Trina as he spoke.
“It has nothing to do with us. Let’s go.” Ivor turned to leave.
“Hold on! I have a hunch that we’re in for a good show.” Ged gestured for a waiter.
“Mr. Ged. How can I…”
“Shh! Speak quietly.” Ged looked at the private room that Hadwin and Trina were staring at. “Tell me. Who’s in that private room?”
The waiter might have thought twice if someone else had asked him that, but Ged and Ivor were two of the most powerful men in the city. He didn’t dare lie to them.
“It’s the researchers from Ms. Bonita’s research institute.”
“What?!” Ged was shocked. Even Ivor was a little surprised. They exchanged glances. They knew Ms. Bonita and her researchers would be eating here today, but they couldn’t believe Hadwin and Trina were waiting for them.

“How reckled Ged couldn’t help but worry for them the noticed tvor trying to leave. “Are you leaving, Ivor? Don’t you want to see what Ms. Bonita looks lik
Ivor turned and looked at him. “Those morons are fost asking for trouble. What’s the matter? Do you want to offend Ms. Romita as well?”
Ged pouted and gave up the idea of waiting for Mc Bonita
It was both of them, Trina thought.
She noticed Ivor and God as they walked toward her from the other end of the hallway. She could look at them forever and she’d never get tired of the sight. They were just so dashing. She’d give anything for Radwin to look as dashing as them.
The door to the private room opened and disrupted her fantasy.
Ivor was right at the door when it swung open.
