NovelOnline"Why, I don't mind, of course. Aren't these common questions? It doesn't botherat all." Bonnie said to Collin, who was at the other end of the phone, "Hurry up and answer Ivor's question, Allen." Her tone carried a hint of warning, which made him wipe sweat from his forehead.
"Um... I joined the research institute a couple of days ago, Mr. Ivor. O-Our new research institute is located at Ridge Road. You'll find it halfway up the mountain in the countryside. Y-You're free to visit us anytyou want." This was the first the had dealt with such a situation. He felt extremely awkward. Even his response sounded stiff.

"Wonderful. I'm certainly going to swing by the new research institute as soon as I'm back from my work trip." Ivor said, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
'Why does this Allen character's voice sound so familiar to me? Where have I heard it before? He might've stuttered, but I honestly think he sounded familiar, which means I did hear his voice somewhere. 'However, Allen is a new researcher at Bonnie's research institute. Why would I have heard his voice before?' "Y-You're welchere anytime," Collin said and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
