Two Reborn, One Throne novel Chapter 44

At that moment, Amber was at the Madison Digital Plaza.

She definitely wasn't sucking up to Lucian's mother; she was buying a laptop.

Because she was wearing her high school uniform, the sales associate kept trying to guide her toward the student budget section. Amber explicitly listed the specs she needed, and the saleswoman looked at her as if she were a runaway who had stolen her parents' life savings.

After all, it was common for teenagers to steal money from home to buy gaming laptops, and the absurdly high-end specs Amber was demanding were usually reserved for corporate elites. The price tag was astronomical.

"Miss, maybe you should think about it a bit more? The ones I'm recommending are absolutely perfect for schoolwork. The specs you're asking for are standard issue for top-tier corporate executives, and they are incredibly expensive."

Amber stayed silent. She didn't know if she just looked too rebellious, or if this sweet salesgirl was genuinely trying to protect a naive student from getting ripped off.

"It's fine, really. My parents approved it. My dad even gave me his card. I can swipe it for five thousand, is that okay?"

Amber actually did have the money. In her past life, she had saved this exact amount to buy Lucian a laptop as a going-away present when he went abroad. Since Lucian wasn't going abroad in this timeline, Amber refused to spend a dime on him. But since she had signed the sponsorship agreement with Sharif Madison, a laptop was a necessity. She figured she'd just borrow some cash from her dad, buy a high-quality machine, and get to work.

The salesgirl was still hesitant. It was entirely too common for students to buy expensive electronics only for their furious parents to return them days later. "Are you absolutely sure you want that ultra-thin blue model? Ten thousand dollars is not a small amount of money."

"Don't worry, I won't return it unless there's a manufacturing defect."

The salesgirl quickly replied, "Oh, absolutely not. All products at Madison Digital Plaza come with a strict quality guarantee. Alright then, since you're so certain, I'll go write up the invoice."

The saleswoman was genuinely kind. "Are you *really* sure you aren't just buying this to game?"

Amber: "..."

She was buying it to make a fortune!

Just as the salesgirl, Lily Leavitt, started writing up the receipt, the store manager, Mr. York, got a phone call and practically sprinted over. "Lily, hold on! Don't process that just yet. Julian Zeller is on his way down."

Lily gasped, thoroughly confused but highly intimidated. Amber was equally surprised. A moment later, Julian, who had clearly been pulled away from his lunch break, strode over in a pristine tailored suit.

"Miss Newman, we meet again. My apologies for the interruption. Mr. Madison sent me down to ensure you receive a laptop with absolute top-tier specifications." The moment the words left his mouth, Amber's pupils dilated, flashing back to a memory from her past life when Sharif had taken her to a gala and ordered her to pick out the most expensive gown.
