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

"Hey, Mr. Minn! Glad you could make it," the shop owner greeted James with a warm smile, then turned his attention to the young girl beside him, Mirabella. Seeing her in her school uniform, he wisely avoided making any girlfriend-related comments.

James responded with a casual nod and led Mirabella to a nearby cage. "What do you think about these two?"

Mirabella leaned in for a closer look at the two chubby puppies inside. They seemed quite lively, moving around energetically as she got closer.

"Huskies are known for being playful but they're really gentle too," the shop owner chimed in at just the right moment.

Curious, Mirabella reached out, gently touching one of the puppies' heads through the bars. On closer inspection, she noticed that this one had heterochromatic eyes

each a different color.

"This one's a purebred with heterochromatic eyes, inherited all the best traits from its parents," explained the owner. He then pointed to the other, lazier puppy lounging in the cage. "And this one here, with its pure brown eyes, might seem calm now but is actually more mischievous than the other."

Mirabella glanced between the two dogs, feeling indifferent. She turned to James, "Which one do you think we should go for?"

"The one with the heterochromatic eyes. It's more unique," James suggested after a moment's thought.noveldrama

Mirabella nodded, withdrew her hand, and straightened up. She told the owner, "Alright, we'll take the one with the heterochromatic eyes."

The owner quickly agreed, "Sure thing, let me get a box for you."

In no time, he was back, unlocking the cage to take out the chosen puppy.

Mirabella, recalling James's comment about the dog being 'unique,' glanced at the other husky and pondered for a second before asking, "Are the prices for these two the same?"

"The one with the heterochromatic eyes is three thousand more," the owner replied while preparing to place the puppy in the box. Mirabella frowned slightly, stopping him.

"I suddenly think the heterochromatic eyes look a bit weird... I'll go with the cheaper one," she decided.

James gave her a silent look, probably thinking her change of heart was due to the price, not the appearance.

The owner tried to persuade her, "The heterochromatic-eyed one is quite rare, actually-"

Mirabella cut him off, "Average people should stick with average dogs. We'll take the one with the brown eyes."

"Alright then," the owner conceded, placing the brown-eyed husky into the box.

After buying a complete dog care kit and a guide to dog ownership, Mirabella and James left the pet shop.

Once in the car, Mirabella couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the box containing the puppy. "This is less of a pet and more of a gold-eating monster."

And just like that, a thousand bucks were spent.

James's lips twitched, but he decided to keep his opinions to himself.

Half an hour later, they pulled up outside the Davis family mansion. Mirabella thanked James and quickly got out of the car with the two boxes.

Inside, Zach was already home. His eyes lit up at the sight of his sister with two boxes, one large, one small. He eagerly approached, "Sis, are these the birthday gifts you got for Zach?"

He had been dropping hints about his upcoming birthday for the past week, and it seemed his sister had finally taken the bait.

Two boxes of gifts surely meant Mirabella had put a lot of thought into them.
