Stephen lost interest in Bonnie

Charles was in his factory when Bonnie arrived to meet him. She invited him to dinner, and he accepted.

In the evening, Bonnie waited at the restaurant, growing increasingly impatient. "Where the hell is he?" she muttered. After a while, she almost gave up and was about to leave when Charles finally arrived.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Bonnie asked.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I ran into some unexpected delays," Charles apologized. "I hope you're not too angry."

"Don't worry, it's okay," Bonnie assured him.

They sat down, ordered their food, and began to eat.

"So, how was your day?" Bonnie inquired.

"It was good, I guess," Charles replied.

"That's nice.

"So, how are things going between you and Stephen?"

"I don't want to talk about that idiot," Bonnie exclaimed. "Can you imagine, the other day he came to beg me, and then a few minutes later, I saw him with another girl! It's just so annoying."

"Hmmm, that's not just another girl. That's his new girlfriend," Charles revealed.

Bonnie was shocked. "What?

"You know I told you that he never loved you, but you thought I was lying. He told me he loves that girl so much."

"So, he just wanted to spend some time with me before meeting the girl?" Bonnie asked incredulously.

"You can say that again," Charles confirmed. "Look, Stephen hates you more than anything in the world."

"No wonder he was protecting her the other day," Bonnie realized. "Oh, I see."

"You know, I know Stephen very well," Charles continued. "I know when he's serious about something and when he's not. Stephen never loved you, or even cared about you. He just wanted to use you."

"He's such a bastard," Bonnie agreed.

"Of course he is," Charles affirmed.

Meanwhile, Chloe was sitting right behind them, disguised as a man in a cap. She had been there the entire time, recording their conversation.

Charles stared at Bonnie for a few moments, then said, "Umm, Bonnie..."

"Yes?" she replied.

"Umm, what about my proposal?" he asked hesitantly.

Bonnie dropped her spoon. "Umm, I'm still thinking about it," she admitted. "You know, it's been a rough few days for me. So, don't worry, okay?"

"It's okay, I understand. I'm still waiting."

"Alright, let's eat" Bonnie replied.

They continued eating, unaware of Chloe's presence and the recording she had captured."

Chloe was sitting under a tree when Bonnie approached her. 'Hey, you stupid, disgusting thing!' Bonnie said. Chloe looked around, wondering who was being addressed. Bonnie immediately grabbed her hand and said, 'You little freak, you think you can fool me, right?' But Chloe remained silent.

'Oh, I see,' Bonnie sneered. 'So, you've suddenly become deaf and dumb?'

Chloe finally responded quietly, 'Hey, calm down. You're shouting, and it's annoying. Please speak calmly.'

Bonnie was furious. 'Do you take me for a joke?' she yelled.

'Hey, sweet girl,' Chloe said, 'no one is taking you for a joke, but please just speak nicely.'

Bonnie's anger escalated. 'You slimy little rat!' she spat, raising her hand to slap Chloe.

Stephen immediately intervened, grabbing Bonnie's wrist. 'Bonnie, what the hell is wrong with you?' he asked.

'Oh, look who came to save the little whore,' Bonnie retorted.

'Hey, watch your mouth, Bonnie,' Stephen warned.

'Or what? If I don't watch my mouth, what will you do?' Bonnie challenged.

'If you don't watch your mouth, I'll teach you to, and trust me, you won't like the way I teach,' Stephen said firmly.

'Oh really? Then go ahead and teach me,' Bonnie sneered. 'Teach me, Stephen, teach me because of this whore..., Stephen furious increases and he wanted to slap her but Chloe intervened.

Oh, you want to slap, i dare you to lay your filthy hands on me. You want to slap me because of this shameless thing, right?'

Watch your mouth, Bonnie,' Stephen said through gritted teeth. 'Don't make me lose my temper.'

'Lose it! Yes, I want you to lose it, Stephen. You think I don't know she's your girlfriend? That's why you always protect her. You guys can date; I don't care anyway'.

Tyler suddenly appeared. 'What the heck is going on here?' he demanded.

'You need to ask your stupid friend,' Bonnie replied.

'Bonnie,' Tyler said, 'I respected you because you were my friend's girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate your insults. You better watch your mouth.'

'Oh, I see,' Bonnie said sarcastically. 'So, it's because your plans failed that you're angry? You guys can never have me. And as for you, Stephen, you'll regret everything you've done. Stay away from me.'

What plan are you even talking about?' Tyler asked.

'I don't have time to explain myself to fools,' Bonnie retorted, then stormed off.

'I seriously don't know what's wrong with her,' Tyler said.

'Hey, I hope she didn't say anything awful to you,' Stephen asked Chloe.

'Not at all,' Chloe replied.

'Hey man, what happened?' Tyler asked Stephen.

'I came here and saw Bonnie trying to slap Chloe,' Stephen explained.

'What? Why?' Tyler asked.

'I don't know,' Stephen shrugged. 'Chloe, what did you say to her?'

'I didn't say anything,' Chloe replied. 'She just came in shouting, but I didn't answer her. Maybe that's what made her angry.'

'She's such a bitch,' Tyler muttered.

'Let's just forget about her,' Stephen said.

'But wait, man,' Tyler said, 'I think you're losing feelings for her.'

'How?' Stephen asked, surprised.

'The way you talk to her and your actions show that you're losing interest in her.'

'Umm, I didn't notice that,' Stephen admitted.

'You can't, but it's the truth,' Tyler insisted.

'Let's just forget about that for now. So, what have you found?'

'Umm, I saw her with a guy at the restaurant, but I couldn't figure out who he was,' Tyler said.

'That was close, but we'll try again,' Stephen said.

'And you, what did you find?'

Stephen hesitated. 'Umm, I saw her with a guy close to the shopping mall, but they left before I got closer to them. I think that guy is the one you saw at the restaurant.'

'I think so too,' Tyler agreed.

'Hey, Chloe, what did you find?' Stephen asked.

Chloe wanted to tell them the truth but realized that Stephen loved Charles so much and didn't want to break his heart. So, she lied.

'Hey, Chloe,' Stephen called, noticing her sudden silence. 'Are you okay?'

''Yes, I'm fine,' Chloe said.

''So, did you find anything?

"Not yet.

"I think the person is smarter than us. We have to take a plan B.'

'SOS,' Tyler said, and they left for their classes.

At lunch break,

Stephen, Chloe, Tyler, and Charles were in a meeting, discussing how to find the person behind everything that was happening. 'Guys, time is running out. We have to act fast to find out who's behind all this, because that person might put any of us, or Bonnie, in danger,' Stephen said.

'Wait, don't tell me you're still worried about that little bitch…' Charles began, but Tyler interrupted him.

'Hey, watch it!' Tyler exclaimed.

'Yeah, because I don't get it,' Charles continued. 'If she really trusted you, she would have contacted you. What am I even saying? She didn't even tell you anything, and you're here trying to find the person behind it all. Did she tell you she was with someone?'

They all stared at him. He looked back nervously. 'Umm, I was just suggesting… because she didn't say a word,' Charles stammered.

Chloe looked at him for a moment and said, 'Why do I get the feeling that you're acting suspicious?'

Looking scared and anxious, Charles asked, 'Umm, what are you trying to say?'

'It's because of how you behave when we talk about Bonnie. It tells me that you're hiding something. What are you hiding from us?' Chloe kept her eyes on him.

Scared, Charles exclaimed, 'Can someone tell her to keep those eyes off me? It's making me nervous!'

They laughed. 'You're just a scared little buddy…' Stephen said.

'Wait, you're afraid of a woman?' Tyler asked, laughing.

'We don't have any babysitters here,' Chloe added, joining in the laughter.

Charles gave a forced laugh and said, 'So funny,' with a strange smile.

'So, back to what we were discussing,' Stephen said. 'We have to act fast before it's too late. We all know Bonnie. She's not someone who does something without a reason. I know she didn't tell me anything because someone lied about me to her.'

'But how can you tell?' Charles asked.

'Because yesterday she was talking about a failed plan. That means someone lied to her. What we need to find out is why the person would lie to her.'

'I totally agree,' Tyler said. 'Because she was acting and talking crazy yesterday, saying that I was angry because my plans failed. I was wondering what plan she was talking about, but she just left without answering.'

'That makes more sense,' Chloe said. 'Because she approached me thinking that I was your new girlfriend, and I believe that someone told her that.'

'The person is smarter than us. We have to act fast. We have to take plan B…' Stephen began, but Chloe interrupted him.

'Why don't we continue with the plan we already had?' Chloe suggested. 'Perhaps the person is smarter than us, and we don't know if he's listening to us, trying to learn our plans and moves.'

'You're absolutely right,' Tyler agreed.

'Hey, Chloe, you're smart,' Stephen said.

'Smartest ever,' Charles added with a strange smile.

They concluded the discussion, agreeing to follow Chloe's suggestion."
