The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 75

Collins had been hustling in the entertainment industry for well over a decade, clawing his way to the top until he became one of the most sought-after agents around. His knack for reading a room and picking up on subtle cues was second to none.

At the moment, Leo’s sister was smiling, but to Collins, it felt like there was a chill behind that smile. He was about to nod and say yes, but for some reason, he diverted, "No, something came up at the office. That movie he shot abroad needs some final touches, so he headed straight to the company after landing."

He paused before adding, "Leo knew you were coming home. He made a point of asking me to drop off this gift and said he'd swing by as soon as he's wrapped up at work."

Mirabella's smile twitched slightly as she replied in a cool tone, "Got it, thanks."

Scratching his head, Collins couldn't help but ask, "I'm heading back to the office soon. Is there anything you want me to pass on to Leo?"

Mirabella was already turning to enter the house when his question reached her. She glanced at the kitchen, then turned her gaze back to him, "Well, if it's not too much trouble, let him know Mom picked up a bunch of his favorite groceries this morning."

Collins stood dumbfounded for a moment. By the time he found his words, Mirabella had already closed the door behind her. After a moment, the smile faded from his face, replaced by a look of worry. He let out a sigh and walked back toward the elevator.

Delilah stepped out of the kitchen, with spatula in hand, her cheerful expression faltering when she saw only her daughter. "Who was that ringing the doorbell just now, honey? Wasn't that your brother?"

"It was his agent," Mirabella replied, placing the paper bags on the side cabinet.
