Chapter 316
Mirabella returned home and, due to jet lag, crashed for nearly a full day, not
waking until 6 p.m. When she finally got up, she freshened up quickly and made
her way downstairs.
As soon as she reached the living room, she noticed Collins lounging on the
couch. She nodded in greeting and then headed to the fridge to grab a bottle of
water.
Collins turned to her, a playful smirk on his face. “Mirabella, you're quite the
rockstar, aren't you? Jetting off and knocking out the international competition.”
Mirabella took a couple of gulps of water before meeting his gaze, her tone
nonchalant. “Just doing what I do.”
Collins* smile twitched; why did he even bother setting himself up for that ego
knock? “By the way, Mira, we're scheduled for that show the day after tomorrow.
You're good to go, right?” Collins had been waiting at the Davis residence for half
the day just to bring up the upcoming gig.
“Yeah, no sweat,” Mirabella replied as she settled into the sofa.
The show would be starting over the weekend.
“Great. I mean, I've briefed you on what to expect. Just stick close to Leo, and
you'll be fine.” Collins advised.
“Got it,” Mirabella said, curling her legs beneath her on the couch. “So, this show
doesn’t have a script or anything?”
“Nope, it's all improv,” Collins said, raising an eyebrow teasingly. “You're not
getting stage fright, are you, brainiac?”
Mirabella shot him a lazy glance. “I'm just worried if I go full throttle, I might steal
everyone else's thunder.”
Collins threw her a playful punch. Smart and quick-witted as always.
He glanced at his watch and stood up. “Alright, I should head out. Hit me up on
Messenger if anything comes up.”
“Will do,” Mirabella said with a subtle pursing of her lips.
After Collins left, Leo turned to Mirabella. “You saw Nick, right?”

“Yeah, I did.” Mirabella paused for a moment before asking, “Why does Nick stay
abroad all the time? Does he ever come home?”
“He's got his work cut out for him overseas. Probably keeps him too busy. He
only comes back home once every few years,” Leo replied softly.
“Oh,” Mirabella nodded and let the topic drop.

The next day, Mirabella made another trip to the herbal market, straight to a shop
called Nature's Apothecary. She needed various herbs for an insomnia remedy
and handed the owner a list. Though the list was long, the ingredients were
common, and the owner quickly gathered what she needed.
Mirabella waited while the herbs were ground into powder, taking the chance to
send a message to James. Once she got a reply confirming he was free, she
pocketed her phone again.

Nikolai’'s eyes practically sparkled. “You're concocting something again? What is
it this time? Need an assistant?”
Mirabella just looked at him silently. “I'm not making medicine and don’t need an
assistant.”
Letting Nikolai watch her make James“ medicine last time was probably the worst
decision she had ever made.

dropped his jaw in shock at the exchange.
