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

Chapter 306
The international roaming on Mirabella’s phone was activated, and as soon as
she powered it on, a message from Nick popped up on Messenger.

Zipping up her jacket. Mirabella texted back. [Just did.]
LIN: [Okay.]
Mirabella didn't follow up, slipping her phone into her pocket instead. She began
making her way but with the other students participating in the competition.
Within minutes, they all passed through the exit. The airport wasn't crowded at
this hour, so as soon as Mirabella stepped out, Nick made his way over.
“Mi...Mirabella.” His tone was timid as he called out to her, perhaps due to the
unfamiliarity. Mirabella took a moment to size up Nick, who was tall and lean with
skin so pale it seemed he might not have seen sunshine in years. She paused
before calling out, “Nick.”
Nick gave a faint “hm,” his sharp features expressionless. He seemed to be
trying for a friendly demeanor, but it only made his facial muscles tenser, nothing
close to natural.
Mirabella touched her nose and glanced at her fellow students waiting nearby.
She suggested. “Nick, shall we head to the hotel first?”
Nick nodded, “Ride with me.” He then led the way.
Mirabella explained the situation to the teacher leading the group and got the
hotel address before breaking away to follow Nick alone.
In the car, Mirabella sat in the passenger seat, not fiddling with her phone but
resting her hands naturally on her knees, with wisps of hair framing her calm,
composed face.
Nick leaned his head against the seat, occasionally glancing in the rearview
mirror. His biological sister was different from what he had imagined; she was
laid-back and serene. exuding a lazy elegance devoid of the typical girlish airs.
Nick cleared his throat, breaking the silence, “How many days is your
competition?”
Mirabella turned her head slightly, replying with ease, “Two days.”
After a brief pause, Nick offered in a softer tone, “If you have time, I'll have
someone show you around.”
Mirabella tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, unaffected by Nick's choice
of words-“Have someone show you“-instead of offering himself. She replied
indifferently. “No need. The school will probably have other arrangements.”
Before her arrival, Zach had briefed her on Nick's personality. He was reclusive,
cool-tempered,

averse to closeness and social interaction, with a tendency for mild aloofness. If
it weren't for the family pressure, Nick might not have shown up at the airport
today.

At that, Nick finally exhaled in relief.
