Adler was still reeling from the revelation when his phone vibrated with a new message. [Hmm, senior year of
high school.]
He had no idea how he managed to digest the bombshell. The big shot he was talking to was still a student. All
he knew was that he was in for a sleepless night.
If she had been a doctoral student, he might have found it somewhat logical, but a high school. senior... that was
downright unsettling.
Oblivious to the effect her words had on Adler, Mirabella pondered for a moment before texting him again.
[Could you geta few ingredients?]
Despite the boss being a student, Adler responded with courtesy. [Nthem.]

Mirabella sent a list of ingredients and their required quantities.
Adler was taken aback by the request. (You're making an antidote?]
Mirabella didn’t hide her intentions, [Yep.]
[Most of the ingredients you can get easily, but... Hellebore might be a bit tricky to find.] Adler typed back
quickly.
Mirabella’s fingers glided across the screen of her phone. She was well aware of the rarity of Hellebore. After a
brief contemplation, she replied, [Leave that one to me. Sendan address where you can receive deliveries,
and I'll have it shipped to you.]
[Sure thing.] replied Adler.
Soon after, Mirabella asked Adler for his bank details and, within minutes, transferred a sum of
money to him.
Ending the chat with Adler, Mirabella put away her phone and looked across the table at Vincent, who was still
engrossed in his meal. She stood up. “I'm heading to my room to rest.”
Vincent looked up and simply acknowledged with a “Sure.”
Before long. Mirabella was back in her room. The room had everything, including a computer. She sat at the desk
and pressed the power button on the tower. The hotel’s computer wasn’t top-of-the-line but sufficed for internet
browsing.
After booting up and connecting to the internet, Mirabella quickly navigated to a website, passed through a
couple of security checks, and finally landed on the homepage of “The Mirror.”

Mirabella skimmed the homepage without spotting anything intriguing. She then accessed the exclusive section
of the website and promptly posted an ad for Hellebore.
She had a premium account, so the minute she posted, “The Mirror's” admins featured her ad prominently on
the main page, even providing a complimentary “shoutout” service. The shoutout meant that every member
online would receive a notification about Mirabella’s post, essentially giving her ad a forced promotion.
Mirabella raised an eyebrow at this modern touch, noting the site had kept up with the times during her absence.
The number of online members was substantial, given that evenings were prrelaxation time. It didn’t take
long for someone to contact Mirabella directly. The person who messaged her was a novice member.

was done. The site's discreet couriers would deliver the items, ensuring no address leaks.
