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

Chapter 1601

Once everyone had cleared out of the Math Department, Robert shot a glare at the door and muttered, "Such nasty gossip, truly disgraceful for a teacher."

Blaze rubbed his nose and quickly tried to calm him down. "Don't let it get to you. Honestly, it's partly on our professor. If we had thrown a welcome dinner for Mira last year, maybe folks wouldn't be doubting things now."

Since the professor was out of earshot, Blaze felt safe passing the buck.

Robert found Blaze's argument made sense, but his frustration lingered. "I'll have a word with your professor when I get back."

The Physics Department always had each other's backs and wouldn't stand for anyone badmouthing them.

"Yeah." Mirabella nodded, heading to the fridge for a bottle of water.

"Oh, by the way, someone was looking for you this morning," James mentioned, casually spinning his phone.

Mirabella wiped the corner of her mouth, surprised. "Someone was looking for me? Who was it?"
