The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 518

Mirabella glanced at her phone and promptly hit the end call button. The library was a sanctuary of silence, with everyone engrossed in their books, maintaining a hushed reverence.

After hanging up, Mirabella opened her Messenger app and scrolled to James' chat. She shot him a quick message. [What’s up?]

James was in his car when he read her message. His fingers danced across the screen. [Heard from Curtis you were looking for me this afternoon?]

She hadn't expected Curtis to pass on her casual inquiry to James. With a shrug, she replied, [Yeah, never mind. It’s nothing.]

James shifted in his seat, resting an arm on the window frame, and he continued to text. [You at home or?]

[At the Downtown Library.] Mirabella eyed the clock before standing up. She gathered a few psychology books from the table and methodically returned each to its rightful place on the shelves.

The librarian, who had noticed Mirabella for her looks, was genuinely surprised. It was rare to see someone return a stack of books to their exact locations without a hint of confusion, a feat not even the seasoned librarians could always manage. He watched her with a mix of admiration and disbelief in his eyes. What a memory she had.

After putting away the books, Mirabella strolled to the escalator. As she descended, she checked her phone again for James' reply.

James: [I’m passing by that area. Need a lift?]

He offered a ride, so Mirabella didn't hesitate to accept with a simple, [Sure.]

James: [Should be there in ten.]

Phone in pocket, she made her way down to the ground floor and slipped into the restroom.
