The Wrong Woman

After checking in, Candice took the room key from Sadie and followed the bellhop upstairs.

When she opened the door to her room, she stood in stunned disbelief. Quickly, she turned back and asked Sadie, "Ms. Lloyd, did I get the wrong room key?"

Sadie smiled softly and responded, "Nope. That is your room."

With that, Sadie entered her room and shut the door, leaving Candice at a loss.

Candice walked back into her room, which turned out to be the most luxurious suite in the five-star hotel. The opulent decor, complete with a living room, kitchen, and a spacious balcony garden, was overwhelming. More notably, the suite had three bedrooms.

As she explored, the bellhop politely asked, "Miss, which room would you like?"

Feeling that it was all too extravagant and a waste for just one person, Candice replied, "Any will do."
