The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Mirabella took the package from David without even checking it, just giving him a slight nod and a soft "thanks."

David smiled and gave a little wave. "Swing by the association when you have the chance."

"Sure thing," Mirabella replied, nodding. "I'll drop by soon."

"And don't forget about the potions," David reminded her.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "I'll have them shipped to you in a few days."

Hearing this, David's eyes lit up, but he quickly added, "Make sure they're S- grade."

Mirabella simply gestured 'no problem' with her hand. "Alright, I'm heading out." With that, she nodded to Mason and Ana, who were standing nearby, and made her way out.

Johnny noticed her leaving and caught up. "I'll give you a ride."

Johnny drove Mirabella out of the neighborhood, and after a bit, as they neared the city, Mirabella asked him to pull over.

The area was quiet, with hardly any people or cars-pretty secluded.

After Mirabella got out, Johnny lingered, parked by the side of the road.

It was late, and a young woman alone wasn't exactly safe.

Noticing, Mirabella didn't say much. She pulled out her hoodie, put up the hood, and took out her phone.

Before long, a black sedan came driving up, turned around, and stopped right in front of her.

Mirabella put her phone away, waved back at Johnny, then got into the sedan.

The night air was much cooler than during the day, and Mirabella, lightly dressed, buckled up and rubbed her hands together for warmth. Her face, peeking from under the hood, was pale and tired, especially after spending so much energy on Mason's treatment.

"Are you cold?" James glanced over, frowning slightly. He reached over to feel her hand, found it cold, and turned up the car's heat.

Mirabella shook her head, "I'm alright. Let's find somewhere to eat first."

"Okay," James said, starting the car.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled into a fancy residential area.

Mirabella touched her nose, got out, and looked at James. "Aren't we going out to eat?"

James locked the car, took her hand naturally, and headed for the garage elevator. "Nah, food's being delivered here."

"Oh," Mirabella said, following him into the elevator. Watching him press the button for the 19th floor, the doors closed, and the elevator began to rise.noveldrama

Mirabella kept her head down, her hoodie still on, her hand lightly tapping the back of his hand. James glanced at her, his expression a bit dark.

But all he could see was the hoodie.

The elevator stopped on the ground floor, where three or four people were

waiting. As soon as the doors opened, they walked in.

James moved Mirabella a bit closer, his intense presence making the newcomers avoid looking at him.

Soon, the elevator reached the 19th floor.

They walked out, one after the other, stopping at apartment 01. As James

unlocked the door, Mirabella casually asked, "Is this your place too?"

James didn't answer, just let the fingerprint scanner beep, pushed the door open, and turned to Mirabella with a calm look, gesturing for her to enter first.

Mirabella blinked and stepped inside.

The room was dark, no lights on. The door closed behind them with a soft thud. Hearing it, Mirabella's heart skipped a beat.
