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

Calvin snapped back to reality, realizing Mirabella's figure had vanished from sight. He glanced at Meg, shook his head, and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator doors opened, and he stepped in first, swiping his card and pressing the button for the third floor.noveldrama

Lost in thought, Calvin suddenly looked up after a few seconds and asked, "Hey, that girl we saw earlier, I remember Zane brought her to observe your experiment. How did she do?"

Meg felt a twinge of discomfort at her professor's sudden interest in Mirabella but kept her emotions in check. "She's a freshman, doesn't know anything," she replied in a neutral tone.

Calvin hummed in response, not doubting his student's words.

So what if she aced her final exams? That was in the arts. It would be surprising if she really understood anything technical.

Meg lowered her gaze slightly, pretending to be curious. "Professor, why did you suddenly ask about her?"

Calvin, still preoccupied with thoughts of the computer he had seen earlier, shook his head absentmindedly. "Nothing, just curious."

Although Meg couldn't quite figure out her professor's intentions, she thought if he were truly interested in Mirabella, his reaction wouldn't have been so indifferent.

Soon, the elevator dinged, indicating they had reached the third floor. They stepped out.

In the office, Calvin went to the water cooler and poured a glass of water for Meg. "You said you had something to discuss with me. What's up?"

Meg nodded slightly and thanked him. "It's about the paper I submitted a while ago. I felt the argument was a bit unclear, so I rewrote it. Could you take a look?" She set down her glass and pulled the paper from her bag, handing it to Calvin. Calvin, still a bit surprised, took the paper and said, "I thought your original paper was good. This morning, Wade even came by specifically to look at it."

Meg was both surprised and shocked, taking a moment to collect her thoughts. "Why would Wade suddenly be interested in my paper?"

Wade was a big shot in the department and a senior national researcher. Ever since the rumor spread six months ago that he was considering taking on a protégé, many students had tried to impress him, though his rare visits to the campus made such opportunities a matter of luck.

Although Meg was intrigued by the idea of becoming Wade's disciple, she knew she was Calvin's student, and one can't have the best of both worlds.

But hearing that he had specifically come to review her paper sparked other thoughts in her mind.

Calvin, already flipping through Meg's newly written paper, shook his head. "He probably heard some student papers from our department were being submitted to international journals this year and got curious."

Meg's curiosity piqued. "Did... Wade say anything negative about my paper?"

"Not at all. But you know how picky he can be. The fact that he didn't criticize your paper means it caught his eye, which is already better than eighty percent of the students in our department," Calvin said leisurely.

Although Calvin was unsure why Wade had taken an interest in Meg's paper, having his student noticed by Wade was a matter of pride for him as a teacher.
