Capítulo 274: Chapter 286: The Repeated Confessions (23)

Isabel Smith stood next to Percy Stanton, smelling the unique, faint fragrance emanating from his body. The scent was so subtle, almost non-existent, yet it kept making its way into her nostrils, stirring something strange within her heart. She quickly rinsed her hands, grabbed some paper tissue, and turned away, ready to leave.

Unbeknownst to her, someone had left quite a puddle of water near the washbasin in the restroom. She didn't notice and, wearing her flat shoes, she slipped, falling hard backwards. With a soft cry, she instinctively reached out and grabbed onto Percy's arm.

Guided by the force, she slid slightly backward, bumping into his back, and finally steadied her body.

That was a close call; thankfully, she didn't fall to the ground!

Isabel let out a sigh of relief, her hand still clutching tightly onto Percy's arm. Due to the impact, her soft chest was pressed firmly against his solid back.
