The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 528

Mirabella gave Jenna's shoulder a hearty pat and declared with a swagger, "Let's roll. I'm feeling generous today—I'm treating you to lunch."

Jenna followed Mirabella out of the school and into a cab, where Mirabella promptly gave the driver an address.

They arrived at the restaurant, and as Jenna got out of the cab and saw the establishment's sign, her legs turned to lead. She instinctively reached out to clutch Mirabella's arm.

Feeling the tug, Mirabella turned with a quizzical lift of her arched brows. "What's up?"

Jenna offered a sheepish grin. "Mira, this place is members-only, and you usually need a reservation. You... do have a reservation, right?"

"Nope." Mirabella tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and amidst Jenna's look of impending doom, her lips curled into a captivating smile. "I can get in by just showing my face."

Jenna was flabbergasted. That was just... shamelessly bold.

As Mirabella stepped through the entrance, the restaurant manager, who had been sternly addressing a staff member at the cash register, caught sight of his boss' daughter. His serious demeanor softened into a benign, friendly smile, and he approached Mirabella with composed grace. "Ah Miss... you've arrived," the manager nodded in greeting.

Mirabella was about to inquire about a table when the manager spoke up again. "We've reserved your usual booth and private room. Would you prefer to dine downstairs or in the upstairs private room?"

Mirabella eyed the manager suspiciously—it almost sounded like he knew she'd be dining there today. She glanced at Jenna, probing, "Where would you like to sit?"

Still a bit dazed, Jenna stuttered, "Uh, anywhere's fine, really. I have no preference."

After a brief consideration, Mirabella decided, "Let's take the upstairs room then."
