The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 38

"Hey, Mirabella, the director asked me to let you know that they've retrieved your acceptance letter from the security guard. Poor guy had a stomach upset and left his phone behind, so that's why the morning was such a mess. Don't sweat it, okay?"

Annette relayed Anthony's message straight to the point.

Mirabella pondered for a moment before responding softly, "Got it, Ms. Annette."

Noticing how well-behaved Mirabella was, Annette couldn't help but give her some advice, "I know you're new around here, and Parkside High School's teaching methods might be different from what you're used to back in your hometown. Senior year is crucial, so if there's anything you don't understand, you must ask your teachers. Alright?"

Mirabella, facing Annette's 'I-know-you're-struggling-but-I-want-to-help' expression, just curled her lips into a confident smile and gave a playful wink. "Ms. Annette, you could stand to have a little more faith in me."

Annette was momentarily bemused by Mirabella's smile, and by the time she snapped back to reality, Mirabella had already walked away.

This student... maybe she isn't as hopeless as Morgan made her out to be.

As soon as Mirabella stepped out of the school gates, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out to see an unknown number calling. At that moment, a series of car horns sounded nearby. She looked up to see a familiar black sedan. Raising an eyebrow, Mirabella chose not to answer the call. Instead, she walked slowly toward the car.

The car window rolled down to reveal the face she had seen that morning, "Need a lift?"

"Are you offering to buy me dinner?" Mirabella teased, not moving an inch or asking if he had been waiting for her.
