My name is Mrs Frost and I have been at Maison De Lumiere for six days. I was invited by the Jones to come to their wedding which is supposed to be held in three days’ time. It was around 11.00 am when I was walking back from Adobe café on my usual morning route after having coffee with my niece who was is helping organise the wedding. As I came out of the elevator I heard a very loud commotion at the end of the corridor I saw two people a young beautiful woman and an older male around five older arguing with each other. I walked towards them slowly since it was the only route I could take to get to my room and when I was in range of hearing of what they were saying the atmosphere seemed to be getting tense. During the period it took me to walk past them I heard the gentleman saying, “come on dear you know how I feel about you, she’s just a friend!” The woman walked past him and walked towards my direction then she stopped and said, “I don’t care about her or you anymore, I’m sick of us moving around all the time because of your stupidity. You treat me like a child! I know what going on, you and your business friend, mysterious meetings and shady dealings”. I noticed the gentleman’s face turned cold and emotionless. The man looked like he was about to speak when she interrupted him saying, “whatever you are up to this time I don’t want to have anything to do with it”. She then stomped off towards the elevator before he could reply. He ignored me and quickly brushed past, chasing after her. I did not look back until I was at the corner of the hallway and looking back I saw the young couple talking in the elevator and in the corner of the elevator I saw a human shadow I think it was of a man. Then I swear, I saw both men smile at the same time before the elevator shut. Shaken by what I’d just seen I quickly went to my apartment entered the kitchen have a drink of water and ponder on what I just saw. Two strange events had happened during my week spent at this hotel and thought to myself what a coincidence. Ten minutes later I went to the police station after I received a call from Detective Cage to be interviewed about the Jones and their missing diamond and I wasn’t back till 3pm. Later during that noon around 5pm while I was preparing my dinner while the TV I went in shock when I heard the news of the murder Mr Garcia’s daughter. Especially after seeing the picture of the young woman, it was the picture of the young lady who I saw earlier in the day arguing with the young man. I felt terribly sick about what happened. I suspected foul play and since then I have made an effort to be more observant and make sure to watch my back.
