The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress
Chapter 399

Chapter 399 

Wyatt flashed an awkward smile at Curtis, who hadn’t heard his previous mumble and shook his head. “It’s nothing.” 

Curtis glanced at him and put his headphones back on. “Don’t bother me if it’s nothing.” 

His voice dripped with annoyance. 

Wyatt craned his neck to peek at Curtis‘ computer screen, which was covered with what looked like gibberish running amok, and asked, “What are you hacking into now?” 

Curtis‘ noise–cancelling headphones, combined with the sounds already playing in his ears, meant he didn’t hear Wyatt’s question. With Curtis‘ dismissive attitude and incomprehensible chaos on the screen, Wyatt pursed his lips and walked back out of the den. 

No sooner had he left than the number seven flashed on Curtis‘ computer screen. He sighed at the sight. 

Still in seventh place. 

He couldn’t help but wonder what insane levels the top two hackers on the leaderboard had concocted that seemed impenetrable. Curtis took off his headphones and closed his laptop, setting it aside on the desk. 

James had finished his dinner and wandered into the living room, where he caught a glimpse of Mirabella curled up lazily on the couch, engrossed in her phone. He paused briefly. 

She was swathed in an oversized hoodie, which made her look rather petite. Strands of her long hair fell across her delicate profile, adding to the tranquility of the scene. 

Feeling his gaze, Mirabella looked up, her eyebrows arching in question at the sight of James standing still. 

James‘ eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over, settling down not far from her. He draped his arm casually over the back of the couch, his posture relaxed as he glanced at the TV and asked nonchalantly. “Wanna watch something?” 

Mirabella chuckled, and she tucked her phone into her jacket pocket. Shifting closer to James, she said, “No need for TV, but I do need to check your pulse.“, 

“Sure.” 

James sat up a little, extending his hand toward her, his voice soft, “Then take a good look“> 

Mirabella glanced at him and then placed her fingers on his wrist. A few seconds later, she withdrew her hand, “You’re just a bit stressed, nothing else.” 

Wyatt, who had been listening, asked, “What does that mean exactly?” 

It sounded… well, a bit suggestive to him. 

Wyatt glanced at his boss‘ lower abdomen. Noticing his gaze, James‘ face darkened instantly. 

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, her response tinged with amusement, “Google it, and you’ll find everything.” Hearing this, Wyatt shook his head. It was probably something that would wound James‘ pride; it was best not to look it up. But Wyatt couldn’t help but wonder how James ended up ‘stressed?‘ 

Pondering and stroking his chin, Wyatt asked again, “So, how do we fix this?” 

James massaged his temples. “You could start by being quiet.” 

Wyatt immediately clamped his mouth shut. 

Mirabella looked sideways at James, noting a faint blush on his ears. Was this man actually capable of  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

feeling shy? 

As she caught James‘ eye, he covered his mouth and coughed. His features flushed a deeper shade of red, inexplicably enchanting. 

Mirabella averted her gaze, slid her legs off the couch, slipped on her slippers, and stood up. 

After a moment of thought, she said, “I’ll come by tomorrow to give you another acupuncture session, but you’ll need to prepare some herbs. I’ll send you a list on Messenger.”
