Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Kelly bag

Lisa had been cooped up at home for weeks recovering from surgery, but today she finally felt well enough to venture out. Alex, her boyfriend, had given her his credit card with a smile, telling her to treat herself to something nice. It was the first time she had such freedom to splurge without worrying about the price tag, and she was eager to make the most of it.

Her first stop was Hermes, a luxury boutique she had always dreamed of shopping at. As she entered, the store crew greeted her warmly, asking how they could assist her.

"I'm just going to take my time and look around," Lisa replied with a grin, her eyes already scanning the shelves of beautiful bags and

accessories

She made her way through the store, admiring the craftsmanship and exquisite designs. Her heart skipped a beat when she spotted the bag she had been lusting after for months. With Alex's credit card in hand, she decided today was the day she would make it hers. Lost in her excitement, Lisa wandered deeper into the store until she heard a familiar voice.

Curiosity piqued, she subtly peered around a display, and her heart sank when she saw Claire sitting in the lounge area, surrounded by Hermes bags, each held by a member of the store's stall.

Lisa's mind raced with memories of the last encounter with Claire.

She took a step back, intending to quietly slip out of the store, but in her haste, she accidentally knocked into a metal statue on a nearby table, creating a clattering noise.

Claire, who had been engrossed in examining the bags, heard the disturbance and stood up, her eyes narrowing as she opened the curtain separating the lounge area from the rest of the store. To her surprise, she found Lisa standing there, looking equally shocked "Well, well, what a surprise." Claire remarked coolly, her expression unreadable.

Lisa stammered, trying to come up with an explanation. "I-I didn't know you were here. I was just... looking around."

Claire's gaze lingered on Lisa, a glass of champagne in hand.

"I didn't expect to see you here. I heard you got surgery."

Lisa, feeling a bit uncomfortable under Claire's gaze, hastily placed the metal statue back on the table.

""Um...yes, I did."

"What kind of surgery?"
