The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 260

Not long after, Mirabella led James back to the same diner where she had grabbed a bite earlier. The place was still pretty much deserted.

The owner, seeing the young lady return with a companion, grinned and said, “Hey there, girly, is this your boyfriend?”

At that moment, James still had his face mask on, so the diner’s owner couldn’t get a clear look at him, but he could tell that the man had a good vibe. He was sitting there with the young lady, and they seemed like a good match, which was why he blurted out such a comment.

Mirabella arched an eyebrow. “Sir , you’ve got it wrong. We’re just friends.”

James slowly removed his mask, revealing a strikingly handsome face. They were seated outside the diner, where the light wasn’t particularly bright, but it only added a moody charm to his looks.

The owner glanced back and forth between their faces and chuckled before asking, “Having another round of noodles?”

Mirabella turned to James. Her eyes were bright and clear. She said with a hearty laugh, “What’s your flavor, James? My treat today.” A bowl of noodles wasn’t going to break the bank for her.

James’ lips twitched slightly. He thought of the photo he’d seen on social media in the car, and said, “The one you posted on your feed.”

“Sure thing,” Mirabella said, turning to the owner. “We’ll have the same large bowl of noodles with minced pork, but hold the chili flakes this time.”

“Coming right up!”

As the owner walked away, James turned to Mirabella with a mischievous raise of his eyebrow. “How did you know I don’t do spicy?”

Mirabella blinked playfully. “Just a guess.”

She glanced at James, who was sitting ramrod straight. His hands not even grazed the tabletop. Mirabella sighed, “You know, this place is pretty clean.”

“Uh-huh,” James humored her with a nod, sitting even straighter.

Mirabella didn’t press the point and instead asked, “No Wyatt?”

“He’s parking the car,” James replied coolly.
