“I’m staying upstairs,” Mr. Smith said as he pointed to the guest room upstairs in the hotel.

“I heard the results of that photography competition you participated in will be out soon?” Melanie asked with

concern.

“Yes. I’m very confident about the photos I took of Mr. Lindsey and you,” Mr. Smith said with a smile. “I’ll treat you to a meal when I receive the good news.”

He looked around, his eyes flashing.

“I have something to attend to and need to run, I’ll call you.”
