The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 821

Calvin cleared his throat, dialing down his usual authoritative vibe, and spoke with a serious tone, “Even though Mirabella graduated with a degree in humanities, she’s widely recognized as the top achiever in her final exams.”

Wade had personally picked the top humanities student to join, so Calvin wasn’t about to openly make things difficult for her. But putting her in his biotech department? Not a chance.

So, it fell to the straightforward Zane to play the bad guy.

After a pause, Calvin continued, “A weak foundation can be built up over time. Talent doesn’t develop overnight.”

Zane’s frown deepened.

Calvin’s words made it sound like he was flat-out rejecting the top humanities student, even though other departments had turned her away. He just couldn’t stand to see a student stuck in a department they disliked and wanted to help her out.

Being the straightforward guy he was, Zane worried Mirabella might misunderstand and feel hurt. He quickly started to explain, “Mr. Calvin, you’ve got me wrong, I...”

But right then, Mirabella, who had been silent until now, spoke up, cutting him off, “Mr. Calvin’s right. A weak foundation can be strengthened over time, and interests can change too. I’ll stay in bioinformatics.”

Zane looked at her in shock. After a few seconds, he said, “Mirabella, you really don’t have to force yourself.”

Choosing a major was a big deal for the future, and he didn’t want her to regret it.

Mirabella looked at Zane, thinking how his honesty made him an easy target. She straightened up and said, “Sir, I’ll head back to class now.”

She wasn’t planning on switching departments.

Seeing this, Calvin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Mirabella would insist on transferring, and if she went to Wade and Wade decided to force her into his department, Calvin would be in a tough spot.

He had a busy day ahead, including a welcome speech for the new students in his department.

After leaving the office, Mirabella headed straight to the new students’ classroom, following the instructions sent by a teacher the day before.

By the time she got there, all the new students – twenty-six in total – had arrived. Eighteen had chosen bioinformatics voluntarily, while the rest had been assigned.

Mirabella’s detour to talk to Zane made her the last to enter the classroom, but she came in through the back door, so not many noticed her.

She found an empty seat without much thought.

STEM fields usually had more guys than girls. Looking around, the room was almost all guys, with only a few girls here and there.
