Mirabella stroked her chin in thought before texting back, [I'll take a look when | have stime.]
James replied, [Thanks, | really appreciate your help.]
Mirabella shot back a quick emoji, wrapping up their conversation swiftly.
No sooner had she snapped her phone shut with plans to catch sshut-eye, than it buzzed again. It was a
message from Nick on Messenger.
LIN: [Done with the competition?]
Lying on her bed, Mirabella responded with a brief [Yep.]
LIN: [I've got a surprise for you. Swing by my place? I'll have my assistant pick you up from the hotel.]

Thirty minutes later, Mirabella and Nick's assistant drove through the gates of a stately European manor.
Multiple security checkpoints barred the entrance, only allowing access upon successful verification. The
assistant, well-accustomed to this, swiftly navigated through, and they entered the villa grounds.
Mirabella eyed the modernized manor with curiosity. As she stepped out, the assistant bid her farewell and drove

Opening the other two, she found even more unique test papers and study materials. Words failed to describe
her mood at that moment.
“Zach mentioned you like studying. | wasn’t sure if these would be useful, but if not, | can have my assistant find
something else,” Nick said slowly, his tone serious as though he would dispatch his assistant on a new mission if
