Chapter 403
The next day.
Mirabella, clutching the box Shawn had given her the night before, arrived at school and placed it directly on Jenna’s desk.
Jenna glanced at the wooden box, her bright eyes clouded with confusion. She turned her head and fixed her gaze on Mirabella. “Queen Mira, what’s this?”
Mirabella set her bag down beside the box and replied in an unhurried tone, “This is my dad’s return gift for your dad. It’s for that painting you gave me last time.”
Jenna touched the tip of her nose, took the box, and upon opening it, found a pen that looked quite ancient. Although she wasn’t much into antiques, she could tell it must be valuable.
After closing the lid, Jenna pushed the box back, saying earnestly, “No need for a return gift. You take this back.”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, her pale fingers tapping lightly on the desktop. “Taking it back would mean tossing it in the trash. Are you sure?”
Jenna’s lips twitched when she realized Mirabella wasn’t joking; she reluctantly took the box back, muttering. “Rich people, always so capricious!”
Mirabella just smiled without a word.
After Jenna put the box away, she seemed to remember something and whispered, “Queen Mira, I have a small favor to ask.”
Mirabella tilted her head toward her. “Ask away.”
Jenna cleared her throat and said, “My cousin is a huge fan of your brother, right? Her birthday is coming up, and I have no idea what to get her. Could I possibly get an autograph from your bro?”
“When do you need it?” asked Mirabella. She whipped out her phone, shooting a message to Leo.
Jenna quickly added, “No rush, whenever he has the time is fine by me.”
Leo didn’t reply to the message, and after Mirabella put away her phone, she hummed in acknowledgment.
“By the way, Queen Mira, do you have a Twitter account? Jenna asked again.
Mirabella glanced at her. “No, not into it.”
Jenna slapped her forehead, almost forgetting that her desk mate was like a cave dweller when it came to social media. “Why don’t you set one up? After your appearance on that live show, so many fans online are begging for your contact info,” Jenna suggested.
“No thanks.”
“If you did, I bet you’d get at least a million followers, easily outshining Summer,” Jenna mused, resting her
chin in her hand.
At that, Mirabella just gave a half–smile. “Ms. Jenna, if you’ve got time to burn, I’ve got two boxes of exams that need practice.”
At the mention of exams, Jenna clammed up instantly.
Mirabella was a devil. She was always threatening with exam papers.

Come noon, Mirabella received a call from Collins, who was coming to deliver Leo’s autograph. After lunch, she made her way to the school’s main entrance to wait. She waited a few minutes before Collins showed
Been waiting long?” Collins handed the paper bag to Mirabella.
“Not really, thanks for making the trip, Collins, Mirabella said politely, nodding her thanks without peéring into the bag.
Collins scratched his head and smiled. “No problem, it was on my way Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He then took a few more glances at Mirabella, who looked so stylish even in plain school attire. No wonder sportswear brands wanted her; they had spotted her charm right away.
Noticing Collins‘ odd look, Mirabella called out, “Collins?”
Collins snapped back to reality, expressing his regret, “It’s a pity you and your brother turned down the sportswear ad deal.”
