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,

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.
She was sure that someone had entered her hotel room!
Her brows furrowed. She immediately switched on all the lights in her room.
Her heart was in her throat.
Diana picked up the receiver next to the bed, and dialed for the reception. After the call went through, instead of
speaking, she switched it to loudspeaker mode.
She placed the receiver on the table, so that whoever was on the line could hear the commotion in here.
The sound was coming from the balcony.
Diana clutched her chest, fearful, as she slowly walked toward the balcony.
The hotel suite wasn’t big. The balcony was a little haven, attached to a smaller room.
The moment Diana walked out of the larger room, she immediately spotted someone at the balcony.
Not just someone, but several people!
This was her room! A room she booked with her own money!
Furious, Diana yelled at the phone, “Get your manager here right now!”
Her voice was clear and crisp, piercing like the cold winter air, shocking everyone at the scene—including those
standing at the balcony.
Very soon, a voice could be heard. “Ms. Winnington…”
It was a female voice; one that sounded rather weak and feeble, clearly posing no threat to Diana.
Diana moved closer to the balcony. Just then, the curtains flew up in the air. She could make out the figures in the
dark.

Immediately, she recalled the maids busying themselves in the room next door when she brought Betty back.
What were those people doing in her room now?
They even barged into her balcony without permission! Diana found it terribly uncomfortable. She instinctively
wrapped her arms around her stomach, and stood right where she was, no longer walking forward.
“Who are you?! How do you know my name?”
The woman’s voice was still small and there was a trace of reverence in it. “The professor told me your name. We
knocked on your door just now, but you didn’t answer us. So…”
She sounded like she was put in a difficult spot. She added indignantly, “We had no choice but to jump in from the
balcony.”
They were on the nineteenth floor. If anything were to happen when they jumped, it may have been a matter of life
and death.
But…
“Professor? Are you working for Professor Hughes? Is Jim Hughes staying next door?” Diana asked.
