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

Chapter 313
The cash transfer fiasco had been bad enough the night before, but now, with the
onslaught of study material, Mirabella was pretty sure her sibling bond with Zach
was hanging by a thread. She took a deep breath and managed to force a smile.
“It's fine. This is enough. No need to dig around for more.”
“Okay,” Nick let out a sigh of relief, then added, “I'll mail these back to you later.”
Mirabella averted her gaze, noncommittally mumbling an “Mhm” as she did.
Nick moved the boxes to a corner of the room, his pale face looking even more
ghostly under the artificial light.
Mirabella eyed Nick thoughtfully. On the drive over, his assistant mentioned to
her that Nick's place was a fortress of solitude, only ever breached by his
therapist and rarely anyone else. The guy was a total research junkie, often
locking himself away in his lab for weeks, even months, without coming up for air.
Regaining her composure, Mirabella sipped her drink and casually struck up a
new topic, “Nick, do you live here all by yourself?”
“Yeah,” Nick replied. A thought seemed to strike him, and leaning against the
wall, he. turned to Mirabella, “How did your competition go today?”
“Not bad, just made it to the finals,” Mirabella answered with modesty.
Nick hadn't followed the event but nodded in appreciation, “Oh, that's pretty
impressive.”
To avoid an awkward silence, Nick pulled out his phone. “What's the name of the
competition? Can I look it up online?”
Mirabella shrugged, “I'm not really sure. There is news about the domestic ones,
but I haven't checked for international ones.”
Hearing this, Nick put his phone away and glanced at the clock on the wall. “I
should start on dinner. Any dietary restrictions I should know about?”
“No, I'm simple when it comes to food.”
Nick hummed an acknowledgment and headed to the kitchen without another
word.
Mirabella sat down on the couch, feeling a bit bored. She gestured to the nearby
smart robot, her hand accidentally sweeping through its sensor zone, prompting
it to trundle over to her.

When it got close, she pressed a few buttons on its chest out of curiosity. Its
head display lit up with a stream of data. Mirabella glanced at it, found it dull, and
pushed the buttons again, returning the robot to its default state.
Twenty minutes later, Nick was done cooking. He laid out a modest yet artfully
presented spread of three dishes and soup on the table, then called Mirabella
over to
eat.
Mirabella raised an eyebrow in surprise at the sight of the meal. Nick had some
serious culinary chops.

Mirabella came out of the bathroom and saw Nick sitting there. Walking over, she
very considerately chose the spot farthest from him to sit down.
Nick silently observed her. Here was this keeping distance thing again.
