The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

Zane was caught off guard when Wade suddenly brought up Mira, but he nodded in acknowledgment.

"How's she doing? Have you checked up on her?" Wade had been meaning to find out about Mirabella for a while, especially since the military training, but he had been swamped with work and kept postponing it.

Bumping into Zane today was the perfect chance to get an update.

The image of today's lab scene, where Mira confidently bested Meg and left her speechless, flashed through Zane's mind. He cleared his throat and said, "She's doing great."

Wade's eyebrows lifted with interest at this, "Oh? How so?"

Zane took a moment to gather his thoughts and then shared the day's lab events with Wade. He added, "I think she's a hidden gem, a real dark horse. Her talent... definitely rivals Meg's."

Wade nodded thoughtfully. "Her grasp of math and science is rock-solid, and her logical thinking is sharp. She even took first place in an international competition last year. Some of the physics and chemistry problems she tackled were so complex that even our professors took a long time to solve."

Zane hadn't paid much attention to these accolades before, but hearing Wade's praise made him realize, "No wonder she didn't need to pre-calculate formulas in the lab; she simulated the 3D model in just a few minutes."noveldrama

"In just a few minutes?" Wade's surprise was evident.

"Yeah, I'd say it took her about two or three minutes," Zane remarked, not noticing Wade's astonished look.

Wade fell silent for a moment, then with a hint of frustration in his voice, said, "The fastest I've ever done a 3D model took me ten minutes. Are you sure you got the timing right?"

"Absolutely. I was standing right behind her. It was done in the blink of an eye," Zane replied honestly.

Wade took a sip of his water to steady himself, then looked back at Zane, "Why did she choose your department in the first place?"

Zane was momentarily speechless.

What's wrong with our department?

"She initially chose the Biotechnology Department but was later transferred," Zane finally explained, deciding to shed some light on the matter.

Wade frowned at this information.

He remembered keeping a close eye on department allocations. Calvin had told him that the young lady had chosen Computer Science, which had surprised him.

Now, hearing from Zane about the transfer, it likely wasn't a lie. Given that Calvin was in charge of the Biotechnology Department, it wasn't hard to guess there were some underlying issues.

Zane noticed Wade's unusual expression but couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he called out, "Wade?"

Wade snapped back to reality, shaking his head, his voice unusually serious, "Since she's in your department, make sure to nurture her well."

Zane understood Wade's intent, "Of course." After a brief pause, he stood up, "Wade, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Wade nodded, having his own matters to attend to, and waved him off.

Zane nodded back.

He quickly grabbed his documents and left the office.

Just as he stepped out, Zane sighed, thinking about the research funding. He was about to take the elevator straight down to go home when he impulsively pressed for the third floor instead.

Mr. Calvin's office was on the third floor.
