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

Chapter 1295

Mirabella let her mind wander for a moment before nodding absently, "Oh, Lisa, that's right."

Ben glanced at the data on Mirabella's computer, his fingers playing with a black ring behind his back. "She's been a bit off lately. I wonder if she's dealing with some school stuff she's not telling anyone about."

Mirabella thought back to what Lisa's mom had mentioned earlier, finding it pretty similar.

After a brief pause, she suggested, "I'm not too sure. Maybe you could ask her roommates, Mr. Ben."

Ben chuckled, "I just figured you'd know since Lisa talks about you all the time. Thought you'd be in the loop."

Mirabella shook her head, tapping slowly on her keyboard, choosing not to dive deeper into the subject.

Ben picked up on her disinterest and decided not to push it. From their interactions, he knew she was a very private person.

She didn't say much, kept her guard up, and wasn't one to flaunt her skills.
