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

Chapter 167
The middle-aged man carried the pastries back to the kitchen, casually relaying
Mirabella’s critique to Knox, who was bustling around the stove. Knox's head
snapped up, his expression stern “So even a non—professional can taste flaws in
the pastry. You should really reflect on this and ensure you don’t embarrass us
again.” With that, Knox returned his focus to the ingredients before him.
The man wiped the sweat from his brow, muttering to himself, “Understood.” He
had merely intended to point out that the young lady seemed quite discerning,
but instead, he had received a scolding.
Back in the private dining room.
Mirabella had taken out a test from her bag and started working on it homework
assigned by her math teacher earlier that day. James sat beside her, sipping his
coffee in silence,
careful not to disturb her concentration.
Wyatt stood behind Mirabella, his gaze occasionally drifting to her paper. He
couldn't make heads or tails of the math problems, but watching her swiftly and
effortlessly complete one after another reminded him of his high school days
when he'd breeze through exams with wild guesses.
Wyatt stroked his chin, thinking how some things never change, no matter the
era — the same cavalier attitude towards schoolwork.
But he had to admit, Ms. Mirabella’s handwriting was something to behold. Even
when filling out random answers, she maintained a meticulous script — a sign of a
calm and composed
mind.
As Mirabella wrote down the last of the equations and set her pen aside, the
curtain to the private room was drawn aside. The middle-aged man who had
greeted them before now entered with a tray in hand, and a faint, herbal aroma
began to fill the room.
Mirabella looked up, her eyes reflecting surprise. The scent seemed familiar...
wasn't it crab simmered with a delicate blend of several valuable medicinal
herbs?
The man placed a dish of creamy bisque in front of her, then set down two fine
porcelain bowls for Mirabella and James. “This is Knox's latest creation, the “Elixir
Crab Bisque. It's prepared to strengthen the spleen and whet the appetite and is
perfect for when you're feeling a bit under the weather.”
James stood, took the bowl in front of Mirabella; and ladled some bisque into it.
“Give ita
try.”
Wyatt watched his boss serving someone else with a sense of surreal pleasure.
If others saw. this, their jaws would surely hit the floor.
Mirabella, oblivious to Wyatt's thoughts and not one to stand on ceremony with
James, took a spoonful of the bisque and tasted it. Her eyes lit up. “This is quite
good. The herbal taste

isn't overpowering, and the flavors are balanced. The chef has a skilled hand. It's
evident that a master crafted this dish.”

spggestiom When the young lady had
commented on the pastries, he
assumed she had some basic
understanding, especially since the
pastries weren't Knox's work. But this
“Elixir Crab Bisque’ was the result of
months of Knox's meticulous
research and was, as far as he was
concerned, already perfect. To think
this young lady still found it lacking
