Love At The Wrong Table

While juggling multiple daily responsibilities, Ms. Wenlocke’s advancing age caused a slight unsteadiness in her movements. In a momentary lapse, her sleeve accidentally swept the room card the secretary had just placed on the table into the gift bag.

“Alright, Ms. Wenlocke.” Unaware of the missing room card, the secretary left with the gift bag.

After a moment, Ms. Wenlocke finally remembered the room card and searched her expansive office desk but could not find it.

“Didn’t the secretary mention a room card for me? Where is it?” she mumbled to herself. “Forget it, I’ll stop looking. I’ll ask the secretary to get another one later.”

She thought to herself, Well, the hotel is under the Titan Group, and there’s certainly no shortage of room cards if I need another.

Meanwhile, the secretary presented the three gift bags to Shane and his companions. “Mr. Murphy, this is for you.”

Complimenting Shane, she remarked, “Our general manager, Ms. Wenlocke, commended you for being young and promising. Please wait a moment. She’ll be joining you shortly.”

“Haha, thank you! Ms. Wenlocke has exceptional taste!” Shane responded confidently.
