The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 267

Vincent was genuinely surprised when Mirabella accepted his invitation, especially since she had coldly turned him down just the day before. After a brief pause, he suggested, “It’s about lunchtime. How about we head over now?”

“Sure,” Mirabella nodded in agreement.

They both gave a quick nod to Mr. Hammond and Anthony and made their exit.

It wasn’t until the pair had gone that Mr. Hammond and Anthony snapped out of their daze. “When did Vincent get so chummy with Mirabella?” Anthony stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Just the other day, I heard some kids saying Vincent challenged her right outside her classroom.”

Anthony paused for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened as a thought struck him. “You don’t think they’re secretly dating, do you?”

Campus tales of foes turning into lovers weren’t uncommon, after all. That would be quite the scandal.

Mr. Hammond listened as Anthony’s speculations grew wilder and couldn’t help but grimace, fixing his gaze on Anthony’s shiny dome, "Ever wonder how you got that bald spot?”

Anthony instinctively rubbed his bald head, feeling unfairly targeted. How did a simple chat turn into a curse on his receding hairline?

“Look, Vincent’s eyes were clearly filled with admiration. You get it? Admiration!” Mr. Hammond shook his head in disgust and walked away.

After walking a considerable distance, Mr. Hammond suddenly paused, feeling like he had forgotten something. Shrugging it off, he squinted his eyes and decided not to dwell on it, heading towards the main gates of Prestige College.

...

The cafeteria at Prestige College was spacious, with an inviting atmosphere, a wide array of dishes, and flavors that could rival any downtown diner.
