The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1021

Wade watched as Mirabella strolled into the office, her laid-back vibe setting her apart from the get-go. He figured she'd stay in her own world unless he snapped her out of it.

"Quit lounging around, or you'll end up like a fossil," Wade said with a smirk.

"That's what you're here for, right?" Mirabella shot back, raising an eyebrow.

Wade caught her drift immediately: "..."

"You're really something," he chuckled.

Mirabella nodded, "Thanks for noticing."

Wade just shook his head.

Their back-and-forth was like a private show, leaving everyone else in the office with mixed reactions. Zane was unfazed, having seen Mirabella's boldness before. Calvin and Meg, though, had different takes. Meg's surprise quickly morphed into envy.

She couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy over how Wade interacted with Mirabella so differently from others, and how Mirabella could banter with him without ruffling his feathers.

Mirabella then shifted her gaze back to Wade, "Mind if I borrow your laptop for a bit?"

Wade, who had seen this coming, gave her a mock glare but then fished out a card from his pocket, handing it over. "Go on, take it."
