Chapter 53 - 52: One Moment, Two Worlds
Starting the engine, he drove towards his next destination,something he had always dreamed of doing in his past life but could never experience because of his condition.
He had always imagined what it would feel like to spend without flinching, to shop without checking price tags, and to buy whatever he liked.
And he knew exactly where he needed to go for that.
So, he turned his car towards Century City LA, a modern shopping haven just a short drive from where he was right now: Beverly Hills.
It wasn’t an ultra-luxury place like Rodeo Drive, but it was far from what you’d call ordinary.
It was a modern-day oasis for shoppers who craved style, variety, and a touch of indulgence without veering off into the realm of absurdly luxurious.
This wasn’t the place where the rich and celebrities flaunted hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single item, or where salespeople sized you up and down before deciding if you were worth their time. Nor was it a place where the average middle class could go around and shop freely.
It was more like a fashionable middle ground where the well-off and fashionistas mingled freely.
A place where someone like him, with a hundred thousand, could let himself loose without fear of crossing the line.
The drive didn’t take long. Soon, the sleek lines and glass panels of Century City came into view. Seeing this, his lips curled into a faint smile, this was exactly the day he had always imagined.
He pulled smoothly into the entrance, the hum of his engine drawing a few glances from passersby. But compared to the other cars parked there, it wasn’t very eye-catching. Of course, that’s only if you considered it as just a basic Camaro. If they knew its true value, they wouldn’t be able to take their eyes off it.
