The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 606

Nick scratched his head, thinking about Chester's stern demeanor that always gave him the creeps. "Anyway, he's a tough one to get along with. You'll see when you meet him," he said.

"Alright, then thank Chester for the gift for me," Mirabella said, waving the box she held.

"Will do." Nick nodded, "It's getting late. You should get some rest."

"Okay, you too, Nick." Mirabella clutched the gift and paused before closing the door. She poked her head back through the gap with a mischievous grin, "By the way, do you still have that perfume I sent you?"

"I do, brought it back with me."

"Goodnight," she said softly, quickly shutting the door.

A faint smile crossed Nick's lean face as he turned and entered the room next door.

At her desk, Mirabella pulled out an X-Acto knife and opened the large box Nick had given her.

As expected, it was a computer with no visible brand, but the casing's texture didn't look like any ordinary PC.

Raising an eyebrow, Mirabella set the computer on the desk, powered it on, and pressed the button.

It booted up swiftly, in under three seconds.

Since it was a new computer, the desktop was clean, except for the few default icons, with no extra software installed.

Mirabella slid into the swivel chair and began tapping rapidly on the keyboard, quickly scanning through the computer's specs.

She was pleasantly surprised.

The specs were top-notch, with the latest processor and motherboard chipset, and it even had a high-level firewall – clearly the work of a pro.

Once she hit send, Mirabella crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, noting a moment of stillness on the video chat screen.

Then a frustrated expletive blasted through the speakers!

In the next instant, the gold chain vanished from the video, replaced by darkness.

Tsking, Mirabella thought that with such a slow reaction, it's no wonder he's forever stuck as Zach.

Leisurely unplugging the data cable, unmindful of the shock her savvy maneuver might have caused the person on the other end, she shut down the computer and closed the lid.

Not bad, she thought, quite satisfied.

I hoped to hammer out thirty chapters in one go, but it seems I was too ambitious. I'll write some more and you can check back tomorrow. Goodnight, smooches!
