The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 456

Heather didn't bother with Leo and Mirabella anymore, quickly teaming up with her cousin to tackle the tasks assigned by the show's producers.

Ten minutes later, Mirabella pocketed her phone. Still basking in the joy of his little sister carrying him to victory in the game, Leo looked up at her and said, "When we get back, you gotta coach me some more. I wanna hit that Champion rank."

Mirabella's temples throbbed, and she rejected him without any hint of emotion, "I don't have the time."

Leo touched his nose, a look of dejection on his face. "Are you tired of me?"

Mirabella gave him a sidelong glance. It seemed he had successfully tossed his agent's reminders to the back of his mind. There went his persona.

Mirabella scanned the now significantly less crowded marketplace and said, "Let's get to business."

At her words, Leo immediately straightened up and took the lead. "I got this!" After coasting through two episodes, he was determined to nail this simple task of grocery shopping!

Watching him stride ahead, Mirabella thought, "Well, if the little princess is happy, that's all that matters."

Leo meandered around before stopping in front of a stall run by an elderly man who appeared to be in his sixties. The old man didn't have much produce left, and what was there looked a bit wilted, clearly the leftovers after a day of picky customers.

Having been under Donald's thumb recently, Mirabella felt a twinge of empathy at the sight of the elderly vendor.

Leo, oblivious to his sister's mood, pointed to a pile of tomatoes and asked, "Hey, sir, how much for these tomatoes?"

The old man took in the young customers, especially Leo, who looked vaguely familiar. He paused before responding, "Two bucks a pound."

Ready to haggle, Leo countered, "How about three bucks for two pounds?"

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, surprised. She hadn't pegged the little prince as a haggler.

The old man shook his head.
