The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 886

James gave Curtis a quick, indifferent glance.

Curtis, sensing the need to clarify, quickly added, "I was just asking Ms. Mirabella to help check the firewall program."

James made a noncommittal sound and casually grabbed a paper towel to dry his hands. Just as he was about to speak, Mirabella stood up, cutting him off. "I'm heading back now," she said.

James glanced at the clock on the wall, thought for a moment, and decided not to keep her. "Alright," he said.

At that moment, his phone rang from the coffee table.

Curtis, who had already shut down his laptop, noticed Mirabella was about to leave and saw James pick up the phone. He quickly offered, "Ms. Mirabella, are you heading back to the university? I'm going that way; I can give you a lift."

He still didn't know that Mirabella lived in the same neighborhood.

"I'm not going back to the university," Mirabella replied, "but you can drop me off on the way."

"Sure thing," Curtis agreed without hesitation.

James glanced at the caller ID, narrowed his eyes slightly, waved at Mirabella, and then answered the call.

As Mirabella and Curtis walked out and got into the car, Curtis respectfully asked, "Ms. Mirabella, what's your address?"

Mirabella gave him the number of her building.

Curtis fell into a half-minute silence upon hearing the address. No wonder James suddenly moved back to this house—it was because of Ms. Mirabella.

A short while later, Curtis dropped Mirabella off at her front door. He watched her enter the large house before getting back into the car. As he started the engine, he couldn't help but ponder over the additional defense mode Mirabella had added for him.

After driving a few dozen meters slowly, something seemed to click. He immediately hit the brakes, reached into the back seat for his laptop, and booted it up quickly.
