The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 170

The middle-aged man's ego was slightly bruised; nevertheless, he hastily apologized to Mirabella.

Knox observed his reluctant demeanor and waved a hand dismissively. "Why don't you have someone bring out the rest of the dishes?"

Just as the man was looking for an excuse to slip away and salvage some dignity, Knox's command gave him a quick out. "Right away."

Once he was gone, Knox turned to Mirabella and James, looking somewhat sheepish. "My associate is a bit uncultured. I apologize for the scene he caused."

Mirabella offered a gracious smile and sat back down. Knox pulled out the chair next to her and settled in. "So, young lady, how do you have such knowledge of herbal remedies?"

With Knox's question hanging in the air, James also turned his attention to her, his gaze subtly inquisitive, making it impossible for Mirabella to ignore. She glanced at Knox, her expression unfazed. "I've read a bit about health and wellness. Just the basics, really. Nothing professional."

Knox chuckled at her modesty. "If you just read a bit and are now able to spot the issues in a meal, that suggests a real talent in this field."

After a pause, as if struck by a sudden thought, Knox proposed, "Would you be interested in learning how to prepare these dishes with me?"

Wyatt, sitting nearby, looked up in surprise at Knox's offer.
