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

Chapter 49
“You know, kiddo, your patience could use a bit of work,” James sald with a hint
of an exasperated sigh, like a light breeze whispering through the leaves, faint
and fleeting.
Mirabella’s eyes narrowed slightly, her finger hovering over the end call button
before she shifted it away, asking again with a bit of grit, “So, are you going to
help or what?”
The corner of James’ mouth lifted in a half-smile. “In a hurry, are we?”
“Not particularly, but it'd be great if you were free today.” Mirabella replied after a
brief moment of thought.
“Alright, shoot me your address and I'll send someone to
“Okay, I'll drop you a pin. Thanks.”
Pick it up.”
With that, Mirabella hung up and quickly opened her Messenger. Without
hesitation, she found James' new chat and sent him the location of her apartment
complex.
James received the pin on Messenger and shot back a quick [OK] Then, he
looked up at his crew standing a short distance away, each with a look of shock

His eyes narrowed as his mild manner on the phone vanished, “That's enough

Wyatt was the last to leave, and he was the one who got called back. “Wyatt, I
need you to pick something up.”
Wyatt halted, turned around, and looked at his boss. After a few seconds of

Wyatt's expression grew complicated. Despite his intense curiosity, he knew
better than to pry. He nodded in understanding and made his way out. Just as he
was about to step out, James, who'd been lounging lazily in his chair, stood up.
“Never mind, I'll go myself.”
Wyatt, taken aback, could only think, “Is this really the boss I know?

James sent a quick message to Mirabella via Messenger. Soon after, a slender
young woman emerged from the weathered iron gate.

demeanor tinged with a touch of curiosity. “It's the weekend. Why aren’t you
dropping this off at your grandma's yourself?”
Mirabella handed him a wooden box, her beautiful face showing no particular
emotion. She simply said, “It's inconvenient for me.”
James glanced at the wooden box before looking back at Mirabella, his lips
quirking. “Is it that stepmother of yours giving you trouble again?”
Mirabella gave him a side glance filled with complex emotions. After a moment,
she joked, “Anyone would think bugged me with all you know.”

With those words, she walked away, her posture proud and unbothered.
