Mirabella took the package from David without even checking it, just giving him a slight nod and a soft "thanks."
David smiled and gave a little wave. "Swing by the association when you have the chance."
"Sure thing," Mirabella replied, nodding. "I'll drop by soon."
"And don't forget about the potions," David reminded her.
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, "I'll have them shipped to you in a few days."
Hearing this, David's eyes lit up, but he quickly added, "Make sure they're S-grade."
Mirabella simply gestured 'no problem' with her hand. "Alright, I'm heading out."
With that, she nodded to Mason and Ana, who were standing nearby, and made her way out.
Johnny noticed her leaving and caught up. "I'll give you a ride."

Johnny drove Mirabella out of the neighborhood, and after a bit, as they neared the city, Mirabella asked him to pull over.
The area was quiet, with hardly any people or cars—pretty secluded.
After Mirabella got out, Johnny lingered, parked by the side of the road.
It was late, and a young woman alone wasn’t exactly safe.
Noticing, Mirabella didn’t say much. She pulled out her hoodie, put up the hood, and took out her phone.
Before long, a black sedan came driving up, turned around, and stopped right in front of her.
Mirabella put her phone away, waved back at Johnny, then got into the sedan.
But all he could see was the hoodie.
The elevator stopped on the ground floor, where three or four people were waiting. As soon as the doors opened, they walked in.
James moved Mirabella a bit closer, his intense presence making the newcomers avoid looking at him.
Soon, the elevator reached the 19th floor.
They walked out, one after the other, stopping at apartment 01. As James unlocked the door, Mirabella casually asked, "Is this your place too?"
James didn't answer, just let the fingerprint scanner beep, pushed the door open, and turned to Mirabella with a calm look, gesturing for her to enter first.
Mirabella blinked and stepped inside.
The room was dark, no lights on. The door closed behind them with a soft thud. Hearing it, Mirabella's heart skipped a beat.
