The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2165

Beatrice had been living on earth longer than the young people did, so she was quite confident in her judgment of people.

…

Stella quickly ran to fetch her own bag.

Her assistant was not around, and with such a big bag, it was a bit difficult to find a small pack of tissues.

Lucas walked up to her when he saw her rummaging through the bag.

Stella thought he was going to help her, so she smiled to reassure him.

"Please give me a moment, Lucas. My assistant usually helps me with organizing my bag. I don't know where she put the tissues, so it's a bit difficult to find them. But don't worry, I know there's a pack of tissues in my bag. I'll find them right away!"

Lucas watched her, and while Stella lowered her head, he reached around from behind her and gave the bag a little push.

The bag, already heavy, became a bit unwieldy for Stella, and with that sudden movement, the entire bag fell to the ground.

"Ah—"

Things scattered everywhere, and Stella was startled.

She was about to crouch down to pick up the items when there was a sudden gasp from around her.

"Did you guys see that? The outfit in Miss Stella's bag! The one captured on the surveillance camera that day. Isn't it the same as Melody's outfit?"

Stella started to panic at the ensuing discussions around her.

She had no idea how that outfit ended up in her bag. She distinctly remembered leaving it in the coatroom at home.

What frightened her more was the possibility that Lucas would start to doubt her upon hearing the discussions.

She quickly crouched and hastily gathered all the scattered items back into her bag.

As she did, Stella awkwardly explained to Lucas, "Hold on, Lucas! I might be out of tissues, so I'll go elsewhere to find some... Oops! Everything fell out. Huh? Where did this piece of clothing come from? It looks so familiar! That's strange. How did this outfit end up falling out of my bag? It's not mine for sure!"

Stella tightly clutched the clothing, raised it, and scanned the surroundings. "Did one of you accidentally drop your clothes into my bag? The zipper on my bag wasn't closed just now. Maybe someone mistakenly placed their clothes in my bag?"
