Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Mirabella couldn’t recall exactly when, but the piano had always been her companion during those tough times.
“Such depth in just a few years? You’re indeed a genius.”
Who would have thought that the widely acknowledged piano master, Melody, would turn out to be a girl in her late teens? What a surprise!
“Was that the piece you were playing just now?” The lady inquired, flipping open the sheet music, her eyes filled with admiration and love. “I heard you composed this piece in less than a day.”
The melody was so pleasing to the ear. It was delightful and even better than she had anticipated.
The ten million was well worth it.
“I just happened to be inspired,” Mirabella modestly replied, not daring to reveal her rapid speed of composition for fear of people thinking she made money too easily.
“You’re incredibly talented. Would you be interested in signing with our agency? We can arrange performances for you every year and promote your music online. You’ll definitely become more famous than you are now.”
“Thanks for your kind offer, but I’m not considering it at the moment,” Mirabella responded. She had too much to handle privately, and those power mongers were constantly on her tail. A public appearance at this point would be like revealing her whereabouts.
She could easily dodge them alone, but it could lead to collateral damage if it happened at a concert with tens of thousands of people.
“What a pity,” the lady expressed her regret. “Can we exchange contact information so we can easily reach each other in the future?”
“Sure.” Mirabella took out her phone and opened the QR code.
From the moment she walked in, the lady had a warm smile on her face, like a bright moon in the night sky. She seemed like a positive and optimistic person.
After scanning the QR code, the lady saved her contact as ‘Melody’.
She was quite fond of this girl. It was a pity she wouldn’t sign.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way,” Mirabella was about to leave.
“Wait a moment,” the lady said. “Stay for a cup of coffee?”
She made coffee gracefully, her eyes clear, her demeanor elegant. Even though she was in her thirties or forties, she was still beautiful and elegant.
Mirabella watched her make coffee and found it a pleasant sight.
“Try it.” She placed a cup of coffee in front of Mirabella.
As soon as Mirabella picked it up, the aroma of the coffee wafted into her nostrils. This was high-quality coffee.
“Can you tell what kind of coffee this is?” The lady smiled, looking at her expectantly.
“It’s Blue Mountain coffee, isn’t it?”
Now it was the lady’s turn to be surprised. Mirabella hadn’t even taken a sip. With a sniff, she knew the type and origin of the coffee.
This type of coffee was not something ordinary people would buy, let alone end up in the hands of a girl.
“Blue Mountain coffee is rare because there’s a country that has the first dibs on it, practically monopolizing the market.”
The lady couldn’t believe that this young girl knew this much, her admiration for this girl deepened.
“Even though you’re still young, you’re quite the brainiac and so talented,” the lady seemed to like her even more, “but there’s one tiny little snag.”
“The snag being that I already have a boyfriend.”
The lady’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise. She didn’t expect this girl to read her mind like that.
“We’ve met in the warehouse earlier,” Mirabella said with a light smile.
Now, the lady was even more surprised. She was hiding on the second floor of the warehouse. How on earth did she know?
“You have a unique scent. The top notes are aldehydic and jasmine, the middle notes are rose, ylang-
ylang, and iris, the base notes are cedar and lily of the valley. If I’m not mistaken, your perfume is composed of no less than a hundred ingredients, and it’s not available on the market. That tells me you’re someone special.”
The lady didn’t expect this girl to be able to analyze so much just from a whiff of her perfume. And the kicker was that she was right.
“You’re certainly full of surprises.” The lady’s eyes filled with admiration and fondness, “What else have you discovered?”
“The gentleman in the warehouse who was buying the painting was wearing a masculine perfume. The top notes are lavender and geranium, the middle notes are mint and gorse, and the base notes are cedar and sandalwood. But he had your scent on him. So, he must be your husband, and if I’m not mistaken, he should be in that room right now.”
There was a door in this booth leading inside, and the lady was surprised that Mirabella was clever enough to figure out this relationship, and even guessed that someone was hiding inside.
“When did you realize there was someone inside?” The lady asked with interest.
“The moment I walked in.”
From the moment Mirabella walked into the coffee shop, she could smell the faint floral scent and the masculine perfume mingled in the air.
“Darling, you can come out now.”
With the lady’s gentle call, the door inside was opened. The middle-aged man who was buying the painting in the warehouse came out.
“I didn’t expect you to have another identity as Maestro Melody.” The man’s eyes were filled with admiration and surprise, “And even more surprising is your intelligence at such a young age.”
“I guess she knows a lot about perfume, and her coffee-tasting and critique skills surpass most people.” After the lady told her husband, she turned to Mirabella and praised without reservation, “You are truly extraordinary.”
Far superior to girls her age.
“You flatter me.” Mirabella nodded lightly, but she wasn’t proud. She had heard too many compliments over the years and was already used to it.
“Your boyfriend is very lucky to have such an accomplished girlfriend.” The lady looked at this beautiful and talented girl in front of her, and couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. It was a pity that Mirabella couldn’t be her daughter-in-law.
“My boyfriend is also very accomplished.” As Mirabella said this, her phone vibrated. Perhaps she realized who the sender was, so her eyes softened, and her aura retracted. She seemed like a gentle girl.
“I’m sorry, I should be going.”
She was still carrying the tracker Romeo gave her. Since she didn’t move at all in the coffee shop, Romeo would definitely worry about her safety.
The lady noticed her change and figured someone from her family might be rushing her. She didn’t expect she was such a family-oriented girl, very considerate, and very likable.
The lady felt even more regretful. Why were all the good girls dating others?
At this moment, Romeo thought there was a problem with the tracker because Mirabella’s location was still at The Aurora Haven.
This club had just recently come under his name. When he found out Mirabella didn’t reply to his messages and her location didn’t move, he tracked down Carl, got the manager’s phone number, and called him personally.
The manager was dumbstruck when he received a call from Romeo. It took him a couple of seconds to recover, “A very beautiful girl? Many girls came tonight, but if you’re talking about the most eye-
catching, Ms. Bella might be the only one in the entire club.”
Before Romeo could say anything, the manager begged, “Ms. Bella not only saved the former boss of the club, but also me. I owe her big time, so Mr. McMillian, I beg you to pick another girl!”
Romeo thought, “Huh? Am I some kind of beast?”
The moment Romeo asked who was the prettiest girl at the club on the phone, the manager guessed his intention, so he begged again, “Ms. Bella is not yet 18, please spare her, Mr. McMillian. I’ll find the most satisfactory girl for you.”
Romeo didn’t expect that Mirabella had tamed so many people outside, let alone that this guy was so loyal to Mirabella. He chuckled and teased, “Who can you find? Anyone as good as her?”
“Mr. McMillian.” The manager was really scared, but still mustered the courage to beg, “You can’t take Ms. Bella away.”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“She’s well-connected!” The manager thought this would scare Romeo off.
But Romeo casually said, “Oh, that’s okay.”
No background could compare to his.
The manager racked his brains, “She knows a lot of vicious people.”
“It’s fine.”
“She’s got good fighting skills. I’m afraid she might hurt you.”
“I have bodyguards.”
The manager was out of excuses and was worrying when suddenly an idea popped into his head, “She’s on her period! Yes, that’s right, she just started! What a coincidence, Mr. McMillian, I’ll find someone else for you.”
“How do you know she’s on her period?” Romeo asked with interest, “Did she tell you?”
“No, no, an employee said she stained her clothes.”
Romeo didn’t expect his man to lie to his face. No one knew Mirabella’s menstrual cycle better than him, but he wasn’t angry at all.
“Is she safe now?” Romeo suddenly got to the point and asked directly.
The manager was confused, “Yeah, she’s very safe.”
“Take good care of her. Don’t let anything dangerous happen.”
“Huh? Yes.”
Until the call ended, the manager didn’t understand what Romeo was really up to.
