The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1585

“Really? Him? He’s probably busy,” Mirabella blinked, surprised at Nick's sudden mention of James. After all, Nick always seemed like he wanted to erase James from the map. Then again, it had been a couple of days since James had been around.

Nick frowned slightly at her response. While his face showed no dissatisfaction, his tone took on a chilly edge, “The world isn’t short of busy people like him.”

Mirabella picked up on Nick's hidden discontent and swiftly changed the subject. “Nick, you shouldn’t always be buried in medical school work. You need to give yourself a break every now and then.”

Before the conversation could go further, Nick, slightly annoyed, ruffled Mirabella's hair. “I’m off.”

Mirabella waved her hand in the air with a sweet smile, paying no mind to her now messy curls. “Alright, take care, Nick. See you later, Nick.”

Not long after Nick left, Blaze and Patrick came over, bringing along someone Mirabella hadn’t met before. The newcomer had a stern look, not a hint of a smile, and gave off a rather unapproachable vibe.

“Mira,” Blaze and Patrick greeted her one after the other.

“Hey, Patrick,” Mirabella nodded at them. She then turned her attention to the man behind them, suspecting this might be their mutual friend, Denny.

“Nice to meet you,” she called out.

It was Denny's first time meeting the Mira the professor often talked about, and surprise flickered in his eyes. Beyond her striking features, her impressive demeanor seemed a far cry from how the professor had initially described her. She didn’t seem like a child from a modest background at all.

Suppressing his curiosity, Denny managed a slight smile, trying to appear less aloof. “Mira.”

Last time Blaze had gone to another university for a lecture, he’d forgotten his notes, nearly causing a disaster, and Robert hadn’t let him live it down since.

Blaze cleared his throat awkwardly and quickly reassured him, “Checked everything, didn’t miss a thing.”

“Good, anyone else I wouldn’t worry about, but with you, I always expect the unexpected,” Robert shook his head, feeling like he’d aged a decade from all the stress.

Blaze moved a little closer to Mirabella, trying to blend into the background.

“This conference isn’t just about physics; there'll be math students there too, so the discussions will cover a wider range of topics. Make sure to connect with the math folks ahead of time,” Robert reminded them.
