The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1112

As the conversation unfolded, David was left momentarily stunned. "The internet?" he repeated, puzzled.

Paul fished out his phone, "Yeah, you know, the kind you use to get online, the one that hooks up with satellite signals."

David's confusion deepened. What did the internet have to do with satellite signals? Was he really that out of touch?

He turned to his young assistant for clarity. Catching David's questioning look, the assistant quickly snapped out of his daze and asked Paul, "Paul, are you talking about connecting to Wi-Fi?"

Previously, their communication had been entirely online. When asked for a phone number, Paul had claimed he didn't have one, which made the assistant suspect he was dodging the question.

"That's exactly it," Paul confirmed with a nod.

The assistant explained, "There’s no Wi-Fi at the herbal farm, but if you need it, we can set it up for you."

The farm might be out in the sticks, but it still had some network coverage, so installing Wi-Fi wouldn't be an issue.

After a moment's pause, the assistant eyed the phone Paul held. Having a phone without a SIM card was a bit of a head-scratcher.

Without a SIM card, how had he been getting online?

"Do you really not have a mobile number?" the assistant asked, unable to quash his curiosity.

Paul shook his head. "Where I live, you can just hop online without it. Why bother with a number?"

He didn't have anyone to call, and besides, a SIM card wouldn't make much difference.

The assistant was even more baffled.

"Take Paul to get a mobile number later," David chimed in, figuring Paul must live somewhere so remote that phones weren't a regular thing.

"Sure thing," the assistant replied, shelving his myriad questions for now. In this age, not having a mobile contact was like being off the grid.

Paul considered it and didn't turn down the idea.
