The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 436

Mirabella almost blurted out a denial, but a quick thought shifted her response, and she nodded slightly instead.

Seeing this, Autumn gestured towards the face mask that cloaked Mirabella's features and asked with the ease of someone who'd never met a stranger, “Going on a blind date, and you're wearing a mask? What’s up with that?”

“Just a bit of a cold,” Mirabella coughed, her voice hushed and lower than usual.

“Oh.” Autumn showed no sign of doubt. “You sound pretty young. What, are you even twenty yet?”

Mirabella's eyebrows arched subtly. “Close enough.”

“You're braving the dating scene at twenty? Let me guess, family pressure?” Autumn reached for some nearby treats and offered them to Mirabella. “These pastries are pretty decent today. Give them a try.”

Mirabella cast Autumn a silent glance, saying nothing, and just tugged her mask up a bit higher on her face.

Autumn laughed softly at this and pulled back the offering, smoothly changing the subject, “Spotted anyone you fancy yet?”

“Nope,” Mirabella shook her head.

While munching on a pastry, Autumn commented, “Honestly, the pickings today are slim. The gents here don’t seem to be much to write home about.”

Was that her way of saying she hadn’t seen anyone appealing? Mirabella tilted her head, observing Autumn, and offhandedly remarked, “I thought the guy with glasses, in the suit, seemed pretty polished. Didn't you notice him?”

At Mirabella's description, Autumn pretty much guessed who she was talking about. Just then, Zach’s figure emerged not too far away, and Autumn pointed him out. “You mean that guy over there, right?”

Following Autumn’s gaze, Mirabella nodded. “Yeah.”
