Uh, which side of her face did he kiss?
Or did he kiss both sides?
In other words, I kissed where he had kissed. Thinking of this, Lara’s cheeks turned red again, and she hurriedly got out of the car.
However, she hadn’t walked far when Jacob’s voice suddenly called out from behind her, “Lara, wait a moment.”
“Oh?”
Lara turned back, looking at Jacob in confusion.
She saw him walk to the back of the car, open the trunk, and take out a shopping bag, handing it to her: “I wanted to give you a gift when you started working, but the financial situation wasn’t good then. Now it’s better, so take this.”
“This…”
By now, it was completely dark, and the logo on the shopping bag was not visible at all. Mainly, Lara hadn’t paid attention; she just felt surprised that her brother-in-law suddenly gave her a gift.
“Girls should have a decent bag. Hurry back; it’s quite cold!”
After Jacob finished speaking, he turned and got back in the car.
“Thank you, Brother-in-law.”
As Lara closed the car door, her words of thanks reached Jacob’s ears.
He rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Lara, who was still standing there, then drove away.
Watching the car disappear into the night, Lara turned to enter the dormitory area. However, she hadn’t walked far when her roommate Vivian came running up from behind.
“Lara, did you work overtime today too?”
Vivian worked at a self-media company, where overtime was the norm. What was supposed to be a nine-to-six job often ended with her leaving around seven or eight.
“No, I went to my brother-in-law’s house.”
Lara answered truthfully.
“Yo, yo, yo, it’s your brother-in-law again.”
“I seriously suspect you and your brother-in-law are having an affair.”
Vivian linked arms with Lara teasingly. The two had not only been roommates for four years but had also become close friends, so there was no hesitation in joking around.
“What are you talking about!”
“I was just helping him take care of Macy,” Lara quickly denied.
“Eh, did you go shopping?”
Vivian noticed the shopping bag in her friend’s hand and casually asked.
“Brother-in-law gave it to me.”
“Ah, it’s brother-in-law again! And you say there’s no affair!”
Vivian looked like she had caught her friend in a trap, then naturally snatched the shopping bag from her: “Let me see what he gave you.”
“Ah?”
“Prada??”
Vivian instinctively glanced at the logo on the shopping bag and exclaimed.
Lara hadn’t paid attention before, thinking she would open the bag when she got back to the dorm, but hearing Vivian shout, she also looked at the shopping bag.
Lara had certainly heard of the brand Prada; her sister Karen had two bags from that brand, and some colleagues carried them, too. Girls often chatted about them.
But Lara felt that such luxury brands were too far removed from her life. Without her brother-in-law’s support, she probably wouldn’t have been able to study peacefully in college and would have had to work part-time like her sister did, so she wouldn’t have paid much attention to luxury goods.
“Lara, didn’t your brother-in-law go bankrupt?”
“How could he still give you such an expensive gift? It can’t be fake, right?” Vivian said with a skeptical expression.
“It shouldn’t be fake; my brother-in-law’s financial situation has improved, and he even bought a car.”
Lara knew her brother-in-law well; he was a very down-to-earth person who wouldn’t buy a fake bag to fool her, and there was no need for that.
“Oh, I see.”
Vivian’s lips curled into a smile: “So there really is an affair!”
“This is a Prada bag; it must be worth at least over ten thousand!”
“Little Lara, confess honestly! Be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist!” Vivian’s curiosity was already ignited.
Sister and brother-in-law divorced, and the younger sister took over! Just thinking about this plot is thrilling; if Jane Austen were to write it, wouldn’t she end up writing a fifty-episode melodramatic romance drama??

Kingston Community.
After finishing her public shaping class, Layla finally got off work.
She had a public class in the afternoon and another in the evening, plus two private training sessions in the afternoon, which left her quite exhausted.
However, upon returning to her rented room, she didn’t rest immediately but eagerly opened the Prada shopping bag.
At the gym, she felt a bit shy to admire the bag that Jacob had given her, but now that she was home, she didn’t have to worry about her colleagues’ gazes.
“Layla, you’re finally back.”
“I’m almost driven crazy by my second aunt!”
Just as Layla was pulling the bag out of the shopping bag, her roommate Josie Axel walked out of her room.
