Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2060

Someone from the crowd could not contain her curiosity and asked, "Ms. Hall, what are these?" Stella approached, appearing slightly embarrassed.

She said, "Didn't I mention earlier? The weather is cold these days, so I thought of giving some clothing items to keep everyone warm." "But didn't you say you had prepared something more uniform? These don't look uniform at all.

They're all different." another from the crowd said.

Stella explained, "They are uniform in a way.

I didn't know everyone's sizes, and since we're not all acquainted yet, asking directly felt too presumptuous.

So, I opted for a uniform approach and bought everything in size S.

"Seeing that some of you have a similar build to mine today, I initially thought of exchanging a few for size M.

But Jaylene insisted I give them out today, and seeing everyone so eager, I had no choice but to bring them over." Stella touched the fabric of the clothes and added, "These might not look very thick, but they're actually quite warm and comfortable.

Jaylene often wears these brands herself.

Considering we're about the same age, I figured our tastes would be similar." Julia was annoyed by Stella's words and thought, 'So, uniform meant the size was uniform? Is she genuinely this oblivious?' Then Julia turned to Jaylene and saw that her reaction was clearly far from pleased.

However, she was unaware of why Jaylene was so infuriated.

Jaylene was angry because every piece on the rack was part of the clothing she had used to mock Stella in the past.

All were sizes that Stella could not fit in.

'In my wildest dreams, I had not anticipated that Stella would use these items as gifts at Caline to win favor.

Despite her eloquent justification, how could she be so shameless!' Jaylene thought angrily.

The crowds were not concerned with whether Stella was genuinely naive or playing dumb.

Luxury brand apparel, each piece valued in the five figures, was universally appealing, regardless of its intended message.

Yet, they thought accepting such expensive gifts did come with a sense of obligation.

"Ms.

Hall, the clothes are beautiful, but they're too valuable." "Yeah.

Wearing something this expensive, I'd feel awkward even carrying my usual bag or taking the public transport." "And accepting such costly gifts without earning them doesn't sit right with me." "These clothes are so nice; I feel like I don't deserve them." Stella laughed and said.

"It's just a piece of clothing for each of you, don't overthink it.

No matter how fine the clothes are, they're meant to be worn.

In the end, they're just accessories.

There's no such thing as not deserving them.

Besides, if we all wear them, who's there to judge? At our age, why burden ourselves with such heavy thoughts?" Stella's words effortlessly dissolved the awkwardness surrounding the acceptance of the gifts. Clothing is meant to adorn the wearer, without notions of deserving or not.

Anyone would feel uplifted after hearing that.

It is not just about whether a gift reaches the heart but also about touching the recipient with the right words.

The value of a gift depends on how it is presented.

Jaylene's casual remark about her gifts being "inexpensive trinkets" inadvertently lowered their appeal, making it seem like a mere afterthought, potentially even a handout.

In contrast, Stella's approach not only involved valuable items but also conveyed a sense of worth and consideration, elevating the gesture far beyond the material value of the gifts.

Team One's leader from Unit B was the first to break the ice.

"Since Ms.

Hall has said so, I won't be holding back then.

Can we choose freely?" With a warm smile, Stella responded, "Whoever comes first gets to choose first.

It's time to make your move, or else you'll have to pick from what's left." Hearing that, those who had been hesitant promptly got up from their seats and lined up to choose their clothes.
