Marcus did.
I watched it twice.
Then three times.
Every replay made the movement clearer.
This was not a valuable item accidentally left behind.
She had intentionally placed something there before leaving for breakfast.
Something meant to be discovered.
Something meant for me.
“What happened after I entered the room?”
Marcus said nothing.
He switched to another camera angle.
“Keep watching.”
I leaned closer.
Then my face went cold.
Because what happened next completely changed the meaning of everything from the day before.
The accusation.
The threats.
Her certainty that I was guilty.
Even the timing.
None of it looked random anymore.
Someone had walked into that morning already knowing exactly what story they wanted everyone to believe.
And I had stepped directly into it without realizing I was being set up.
I turned toward Marcus.
“She planned this.”
He didn’t answer immediately.
He didn’t have to.
The footage was answering for him.
And suddenly, getting my job back wasn’t the only thing I cared about.
I wanted to know why a woman I had never met before would go to that much trouble to make a struggling housekeeper look like a thief.
Because whatever she had deliberately left behind in that hotel room…
it had been placed there for a reason.
And that reason involved me.
