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

Hank locked eyes with J, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest, a suffocating pressure building up. He opened his mouth, slightly bewildered, "Mr. Monks, you..."

By then, J had regained his usual composure, as if the intense glance exchanged moments before was merely an illusion. Resting a hand on his knee, he casually asked again, "That girl we were discussing, she's still a university student?"

Hank glanced at J, puzzled by his renewed interest in Mirabella, but nodded in response, "Yes, so, being young, she might be a bit too proud. Please, don't take it to heart."

J squinted slightly, asking, "The major database for the Artificial Life System, was it her work?"

Hank hesitated before nodding again.

"So, if the database was her project, what does it have to do with your Tech Institute?" J's voice was soft, yet probing as he looked at Hank.

Caught off guard, Hank didn't immediately respond. Calvin, noticing Hank's hesitation, quickly explained, "Because Prestige College has a partnership with the Tech Institute, and this Artificial Life System was specifically developed for the institute."
