"Okay, thank you." Camila hung up the phone, staring blankly ahead.

She slowly stood up and walked out of the security room.

Camila returned to the dressing room and found the cleaning lady's information.

"If you happen to find my necklace while cleaning, could you please give me a call?"

Despite the turmoil inside, she maintained a calm facade.

She exited the dressing room and headed toward her workspace.
