Chapter 1493

Mirabella watched Wyatt's hurried departure with a raised eyebrow.

James served Mirabella a piece of fish, seemingly oblivious to her expression, and casually asked, "When are you heading to university?"

"I have a meeting with my professor in the morning." Mirabella took a bite of her meal, still in a good mood, "I'll also pick up the award money for the project we collaborated on with the Institute of Technology last year."

James paused momentarily at her words, expressing his surprise, "It's finished already?"

A scientific research project, from its initiation to development, requires an incredibly long time to complete - a year, two years, or even five to ten years.

"A master's touch ensures speed is of the essence." Mirabella nodded, her delicate face beaming with her usual confidence, softening the sharpness in her features with a few loose strands of hair falling across her forehead.

James glanced at her thoughtfully, guessing she was eager to get the prize money.

Mirabella coughed and continued to focus on her meal.
