The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 144
Half an hour later, at a downtown coffee shop.
As Mirabella stepped into the private booth, a faint scent of sandalwood greeted
her—a scent. reminiscent of what she had encountered the previous day at a
boutique store named Nature's Apothecary.
“Hello.” James announced, comfortably seated before a coffee set, his
movements graceful as he brewed coffee. Not far from his hand, a small Incense
burner released gentle wisps of
smoke.
Mirabella gave a slight hmm, acknowledging Wyatt with a polite nod before
making her way over to a mahogany chair, which she pulled out and sat down on
with casual ease.
Wyatt stole a cautious glance at Mirabella. For some reason, every time he saw
this young lady, he felt a chill that seemed beyond her years, an aura of mystery
he couldn't quite
penetrate.
James placed a cup in front of Mirabella, his pale and slender fingers deftly
pouring a stream of coffee into the cup. “See how you like the taste.”
Mirabella lifted the cup, and the delicate aroma of the tea enveloped her senses.
She took a sip. and her eyebrows rose in approval. “Rich fragrance, sweet and
lingering on the finish. Nice.”
Setting down the teapot, James" features softened with a genteel warmth. He
looked relaxed yet uncontained as he mentioned, “I heard you entered an
international competition?”
At his words, Mirabella seemed to ponder for a moment. Leaning back in her
chair, she looked up at James. “Catherine's been bending your ear again?”
Alight smile played oh James" lips, his response enigmatic, “Well, as a tutor, I
ought to make some contribution.”
Stroking her chin, Mirabella replied casually, “Ah, no need for contributions. Just
keep Catherine in good spirits for me.”
Wyatt, who had been quietly observing, suddenly choked as if something caught
him off guard. He was coughing violently, “Cough... cough...”
Mirabella looked up at him, puzzled. James also glanced at Wyatt before he
addressed her previous comment. “Sure, naturally.”
Just as Wyatt had calmed down from the initial shock of Mirabella’s bold request,
he was again stunned by his boss“ agreeable response. Was it him who was off
today, or was it his ears playing tricks on him? Or perhaps James wasn't the boss
he knew?
“Do you need me to find you a professional tutor?” James asked, refilling
Mirabella’s cup with more coffee.
With a light tap of her fingertip on the table, Mirabella declined, “Thank you, but
no.”

James dropped the subject and took to sipping his coffee.
Quiet settled in the booth, a comfortable silence that wasn't the least bit
awkward. After a short while, Mirabella glanced at her watch and started to pick
up her bag, handing it to James. “This incense should be of some help to you.”
Pausing briefly, she finished her coffee in one gulp and stood up. “Great coffee,
thanks for the hospitality. I should get going.”
“I'll walk you out.”
