The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1115

Mirabella nodded, "Sure, Jessie."

Hearing this, Jessie quickly introduced herself to Lisa.

Lisa, sitting across from them, promptly introduced herself too.

"It's not every day you come across the name 'Ellis.' Coincidentally, one of the consultants on our project also has the last name 'Ellis,'" Jessie remarked with a smile, something clicking in her memory.

Lisa shrugged it off, "Yeah, it's just not that common."

"Right." After a quick chat with Lisa, Jessie turned her attention to Mirabella, who was beside her. She paused, surprised by the book Mirabella was reading, but then remembered Mirabella's knack for math and figured a science book wasn't unexpected for her.

Putting her surprise aside, Jessie remembered a group chat message and asked Mirabella, "Hey Mira, have you checked our Messenger group chat?"

Mirabella looked up, having her notifications on silent, "Nope, what's up?"

"Not much, just Mr. Ben mentioned he'd be dropping by this afternoon," Jessie said, knowing Mirabella was always a bit wary of external consultants.

Mirabella paused for a moment while flipping through her book but showed no other reaction, "Got it."

"Maybe skip coming this afternoon. With your speed, you can catch up with us anytime," Jessie suggested.

Mirabella shook her head, "No worries, thanks, Jessie."

"Don't mention it." Jessie grinned and went back to her research.

Meanwhile, Lisa's expression subtly shifted at the mention of 'Ben.'

She wasn't sure if this 'Ben' was the same as her friend Emmitt, but it wasn't a common name.

Lisa glanced at Jessie and Mirabella, opened her mouth to say something, but seeing them engrossed in their work, she decided against it.

As they headed towards their department, they barely made it to the building when they spotted two people in the hallway. Lisa froze when she recognized one of them.

What was Emmitt doing here?

Did he come to see her?

Lisa checked her phone again, but there were no new messages or missed calls.

Sensing someone was watching, Ben, who was chatting with someone else, looked up and caught sight of them. His face was as calm and composed as ever, but only Lisa knew what lay beneath that facade.

Suddenly, Lisa grabbed Mirabella's arm, coming up with an excuse, "Mira, I'm not feeling too great, cramps probably. Can you swing by my dorm and grab some pads for me?"

Mirabella stopped and turned to Lisa, noticing her sudden pallor, and gently took her wrist as if to offer support.
