*crack*
The sudden cracking sound made Reuben and Veronica break their kiss as they looked at the source of the disturbance and their eyes widened in surprise, seeing who / what was the reason of that sound.
A flower vase was broken into pieces on the floor of the hallway and two persons were standing beside it, looking totally shocked after what they saw. One was covering her mouth with her right hand and the other's mouth was gaped open with widened eyes.
These two persons are none other than Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Lopez.

"Honey, where is Reuben? Some business partners want to talk to him." Mr. Smith asked his wife.
"I don't know where is he." Mrs. Smith replied.
"Hmm….. Even Veronica isn't here. It's been a while since she went for washroom." Mrs. Lopez said looking around her trying to find her daughter.
