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

Chapter 171
In no time at all, the kitchen staff brought out several more dishes. Mirabella, cool
as a cucumber, folded the test papers she hadn't yet managed to stash in her
bag and put them. away neatly.
It was then that Knox noticed Mirabella’s attire, the Parkside High School
uniform, and he couldn't help but express his surprise, “You're a student at
Parkside High?”
Mirabella hummed in affirmation.
“Ms. Mirabella’s a senior, so she doesn’t have the time to be a student anywhere
else,” Wyatt chimed in by way of explanation.
Knox's expression cleared with understanding. “Well, that makes sense. Senior
year is a real crossroads in life. It's right to focus all your energy on your studies.”
After a brief pause, Knox continued, “Got a grandson in his senior year at
Parkside High myself. Tried to get him interested in these healing meals, but he
couldn't care less.”
“Young folks tend to be restless,” Wyatt said with a chuckle.
“That they do,” Knox sighed, his gaze sweeping over the array of dishes before
standing up and addressing James in a polite tone, “Well, I won't intrude on your
meal any further.”
James gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. Shortly after, Knox exited the
private dining
room.
Awhile later, Wyatt turned his attention to Mirabella and said, “Ms. Mirabella, do
you realize what a golden opportunity you just passed up?”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, staring at Wyatt, but remained silent.
“Let me put it this way,” Wyatt began, “the Mendoza family holds considerable
sway throughout Ashford. If you apprenticed with Knox, you and your family
would be set for life. here. Knox isn't just any cook. He's a member of the
Pharmacists“ Guild...” Wyatt trailed off as he remembered Mirabella’s small-town
upbringing. Talking guilds might be over her head. He kept the rest of his
thoughts about the Pharmacists* Guild to himself and summarized, “In short,
being connected with the Mendoza family is all pros and no cons.”
He paused, then added, “You wouldn't have to worry about college applications
either.”
“Oh,” was all Mirabella said, shrugging nonchalantly before bowing her head to
continue with her meal.
Wyatt, who had been hoping to see some sign of regret from Mirabella, was left
speechless. Had he not made himself clear enough? Why was Ms. Mirabella
showing absolutely no reaction?
James cast a glance at Wyatt. “Eat your food.”
Wyatt touched his nose. He felt like the only one making a fuss, while the other
two couldn't
be less concerned.
After they finished eating, the group left Knox's restaurant. But as they stepped
out, a waiter hurried after them, handing Mirabella a token. “This is from Mr.
Knox.”
Mirabella accepted it, opening the box to reveal a custom-made token. Upon
catching a glimpse, James showed a flicker of surprise on his composed face,
then spoke slowly, “Keep it. That token could come in handy.”
With a half-joking smile, Mirabella asked, “Does it get me discounts on food?”
