The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

The CEO?!

Zane swallowed hard. The CEO of DO Group not only apologized to him but also promised to personally liaise with him going forward... How did things take such an unbelievable turn? He could barely believe it.

Next to him, Calvin couldn't take his eyes off the business card, his expression even more shocked than Zane's. He knew Hank mentioned Mr. Monks was a big deal, but he didn't expect him to be *this* big of a deal. Why had the guy suddenly changed his tune so drastically? There was something Calvin felt he was missing.

Just then, there was another knock at the open door, and everyone looked up. A woman stood there, tall and with a unique presence.

J's eyes lit up the moment he saw her. If it weren't for everyone around, he'd have rushed over to greet her like a long-lost friend.

Zane snapped back to reality and waved Mirabella in. “Mirabella, come on in." If the DO Group folks hadn't shown up, he would've sent Mirabella away, but now... Zane glanced at J, who was staring at the door with a peculiar excitement, like seeing an old friend after ages. Zane found it odd.

Mirabella walked in, ignoring J's intense gaze, and nodded slightly at Zane. "Professor, you called for me?"

Zane glanced at Mr. Calvin, suddenly feeling more confident. "Yes, Mr. Monks came to the university to talk about a potential collaboration."

Calvin's face went through several shades of embarrassment. Even though Zane didn't mention the apology, it made him feel even more awkward.

Mirabella shrugged, a hint of laziness in her eyes, as if she had expected this all along. "You guys can go ahead and talk."

Zane looked at his student, who seemed unfazed even if the king himself walked in. Worried Mr. Monks might take offense, he cleared his throat and said, "You've been handling the main database, and Mr. Monks wants to chat with you."

Mirabella finally looked at J. "What do you want to discuss?"

J met her gaze; despite her youth, she had this powerful presence. His dad was still mad. J chuckled.

Their interaction was downright strange.

Mirabella decided not to waste time and got straight to the point. "Did you bring the contract?"

J turned to Joseph behind him. Joseph had been observing Mirabella and quickly opened his briefcase to pull out a prepped document.

J skimmed through it and handed it to Mirabella. "Take a look. If it's not right, I'l tweak it."noveldrama

"How about we double it?" J suggested without skipping a beat.

Hearing this, Mirabella sighed inwardly at the extravagance, then handed the
