The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1074

Mirabella paused for a moment, then said, "Next time, be a bit more careful. Some of those chemicals aren’t exactly friendly to your health."

"Yeah, I know." Adler's curiosity piqued as he glanced back at the box. "What are you planning to do with that?"

Mirabella reached over, picked up the box, and opened it, revealing a vial of pale blue liquid. She closed it swiftly. "Just a little research."

Adler was a bit surprised. "I thought you avoided working with chemicals?"

He remembered inviting her to the lab ages ago, and she had been firm about steering clear of experimental substances.

Mirabella's gaze turned thoughtful, and she leaned back in her chair, her voice calm, "People's interests can change over time."

Adler sensed a hint of resignation in her tone and paused before asking, "Is something troubling you?"

Mirabella absentmindedly traced the rim of her coffee cup with her finger. "Not really."

"If you need any help, just say the word. No need to be shy," Adler offered after considering for a moment.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "Actually, I do need something. Can I borrow your lab for a while?"

"Sure thing. I’ll hand over my keys. I only use it for experiments, and it’s usually empty," Adler said, fishing out a set of keys from his pocket and handing them to her.

Mirabella hesitated briefly before taking the keys. "But I’m not familiar with some of the equipment. You’ll have to show me the ropes."

Adler was reminded of the first time she had borrowed his lab to make medicine. She had claimed ignorance of the equipment, but after just one walkthrough, she had outpaced him in using it.

That experience had left him both impressed and slightly intimidated by her quick learning.
