Chapter 1871

The steamy heat from the hot water filled the small bathroom as Karina stared at the borrowed undergarments in her hands, a look of resignation on her face.

The size was too large, leaving them loose and ill-fitting, with straps constantly slipping off her shoulders.

After several attempts to adjust them to no avail, she sighed inwardly. No matter what, she would need to find time tomorrow to buy something that fit.

After a quick shower, she stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped securely in a towel, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders. Droplets of water slid down the strands and fell onto the carpet.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tightened her towel, ensuring it was secure before slowly opening the door.
