+10 pearls

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman spoke up. T… I think I saw a girl enter your room. I was one of the hotel’s janitors back then.”

This woman instantly caught Elias’ attention. He took out his phone, found Amanda and Grace’s photos, and showed them to the woman. “Was she one of these two?”

The middle-aged woman studied the photos for a long time before identifying Amanda. She pointed to Amanda’s photo, saying. “I think it was this girl. I remember that she seemed very anxious at the time.”

Amanda Elias’ heart clenched for a moment. It really was Amanda! So, she did enter my room after all. He then asked, “Do you still remember when it was?”

The middle-aged woman thought about this for a long time. “Well, I don’t quite remember this anymore, but it was probably just after 10.00PM. It was normally around this time when I got to cleaning the 16th floor.”

10.00PM, huh… That was when the celebration party ended. So, Amanda came after I got escorted back to my room? Elias handed the phone to Yacob before looking at everyone in the room. “Does any of you still remember this lady? Does anyone remember having seen her that night?”

Everyone looked at Amanda’s photo and began searching their minds for any memory of her. After all, she and Elias had married in secret, so no one even knew that she had been his wife. Even if she had shown up at the celebration party back then, no one would have recognized her.

At last, someone recognized Amandla. All of a sudden, a female ex-employee of the hotel said, “I think I’ve seen this lady before. Yes, I do remember her. She came looking for you at the celebration party at the time, but I told her you were drunk and had gone back to your hotel room, so she left. I thought she was the new secretary or something”

Light sparkled in Elias’ eyes. So, Amanda really was in Flimwood when the celebration party took place? Doesn’t this along with the ex-janitor’s testimony-mean that she did enter my room that night? But why was Grace sleeping next to me when I woke up? Who can explain it?

Just when he was confused, the ex-hotel manager spoke again. “Mr. Winters, I wonder if I should tell you something about the other girl…”

The other girl? Elias took the phone and swiped to Grace’s photo before showing it to the man. “You mean her? What do you want to say about her! Spill it!”

The ex-hotel manager tried to remember that particular night’s situation. He replied, “I don’t know if this will be of any use to you, but at around 6.00AM on the next day, I went up to the 16th floor to deal with something-a guest who checked into their hotel room and found that the sheets were dirty, I think. When I passed by your room, I noticed that the door to your room was ajar. Just when I was wondering why, I saw this girl enter your room.”

Alerted, Elias and Yacob immediately exchanged a brief look. This is a key piece of information! “Are you sure this girl was the one you saw? Could you be mistaken?” Elias asked. After all, Amanda and Grace looked totally different from each other.

The ex-hotel manager studied Grace’s photo several more times before he replied, “No, there’s no mistake about it. I’m sure this was the girl I saw. She looked so sweet and gentle, I despised her in my heart at the time, thinking it disgraceful of her to start prostituting herself at such a young

age.”

Elias fell silent. So, Grace entered my room at around 6.00AM, while Amanda did so at around 10.00PM the night before. Did Amanda leave early in the middle of this? Was that how Grace took advantage of the opportunity? This seems to be the only way to explain how they had both entered my room back then, which means that I did sleep with Amanda that night. As for Grice….. He was almost half awake at around 6.00AM that day. If he had done anything to Grace, he would surely have some memory of it, but he didn’t. He remembered that it was 7.00AM when he opened his eyes.. And row, these testimonies were enough to prove that Grace was lying.

He sat on the couch, his arm resting on the armrest as he propped up his forehead with slender fingers. Finally, he closed his eyes and said impassively, “All of you may leave now.”
