Chapter 653
But if you were a guy, you’d be surrounded by gorgeous women. Why would you ever look twice at me p>
“Well, I’m not exactly surrounded by gorgeous men right now either p>
Mira kept up the playful banter.
“You aren’t? What about Harvey, Owen, Mr. Grant, and… all the others whose names I can’t even remember p>
“Whoa, stop right there. Don’t start making things up.
Some of those guys are my friends, some are colleagues, and some work for me. They aren’t exactly flocking to me romantically p>
“But the way they look at you p>
“I said drop it. No spreading rumors p>
Mira hadn’t expected Elara, who usually seemed so naive, to be so observant.
“Even if I were surrounded by beautiful women, I’d still marry you. You’re the kind of rare, grounding presence anyone would want to come home to p>
Mira expertly steered the conversation back to safe territory, cutting off any further gossip.
“If you were a guy, I’d marry you too,” Leah added.
Leah said.
“And I’d still choose Elara over you p>
“Hey! What’s wrong with me p>
“You’re too playful, your head is in the clouds, and you’re just a little bit of a gold digger. Elara doesn’t have a single one of those flaws p>
There was another point Mira kept to herself—Leah just wasn’t stunning enough to catch her eye anyway.
Elara was undeniably much prettier.
“Don’t you think Elara is a little too boring? You have to have some passion in life p>
“I’ve never thought she was boring p>
“Mira, you’re just trying to piss me off, aren’t you p>
Laughing and joking, the trio stepped into The Gaming & Anime Collective. This was heaven for Leah, who loved gaming. She stared in awe at the intricate cosplay displays, looking like she never wanted to leave.
“If you like it, sign up. Life can’t just be about studying. Who knows, maybe you could even make a career out of this p>
Mira genuinely encouraged Leah; everyone needed a true passion in life.
As for Mira, a year ago, she had been a huge gamer herself.
But after enduring the life-and-death stakes of her past life, her rebirth had stripped away any desire to be carefree.
She could join a club, but only as a casual way to decompress. And if she happened to spot some brilliant talent she could funnet them into her company.
That was exactly why she had considered joining Starlight Dramatics.
The only organizations Mira was truly willing to dedicate her time and energy to were the Al and FinTech clubs.
She could squeeze out a few hours a week to participate in those.
A person only had so much energy, and Mira still had a massive corporation to run.
Even with Owen Lance overseeing the big picture, she couldn’t just abandon her duties as Chairwoman.
Not to mention, they had several massive new projects in the pipeline.
On top of all that, she still had to continue her pharmacological training with her mentor.
That training didn’t just cover lethal
self-se techniques; it included
incredibly advanced medical skills, secrets passed down through her mentor’s lineage content
Since those skills were directly tied to the safety and health of everyone she cared about, Mira could never give them up.
But at the same time, she was a young woman who deserved a vibrant, colorful life of her own.
Whatever. At worst, she would just take her time with her academic courses and graduate a little later than planned.
As Mira and her friends walked up the
Fment booth for The Society Harvey River.ne stepped out of the crow
“Mira, I was just looking for you! Weren’t you trying to find the finance club? This is
it p>
“Did you sign up p>
“No, I was just scoping it out for you.
If you join, I’ll join p>
Mira was speechless. Since when had Harvey become so lacking in personal ambition?
“Come on, let’s go inside and take a look p>
“Hey, it’s Mira p>
Harvey’s entire group of dorm mates were already gathered there.
