Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Every room in this hotel came attached with a balcony. There was practically no gap between one balcony to another.

In fact, two balconies of two separate hotel rooms shared one single pane of glass. Essentially, one could effortlessly get from one hotel room to another just by jumping across the glass.

A woman in white uniform grasped the glass separating Diana’s balcony from the neighboring balcony, and tried jumping a few times. Very swiftly, she leaped like a spring from the balcony to Diana’s.

Right after that, someone handed her something. She reached out to take it.

Things continued being handed to the woman who jumped into Diana’s balcony, and she continued taking them and putting them on the ground.

All of this made quite a ruckus.

Diana finally sensed that something was wrong, and she began to panic. She let Betty continue soaking in the tub, and said, “Mommy needs to head out for a while. I’ll come back soon to shower you later.”

There was still a lot of foam on Betty’s body, and she needed a shower to wash them all off.

Betty nodded obediently. “Yes, Mommy.”

Diana stood up, cleaned herself up, and got dressed. Then, she opened the bathroom door. When she walked out, the commotion grew louder.
