Lily's actions were swift and calculated. She had the hotel staff make a discreet copy of the file, all the while ensuring that her activities went unnoticed.
She waited anxiously at the reception, her heart racing as she anticipated the outcome. When the copy was finally in her hands, she paid the necessary fee and swiftly returned to her room.
With practiced ease, she replaced the original file in its exact position, making sure not to raise any suspicion.
As she lay in bed, pretending to be asleep, she could hear Arion's return in the dead of night. The rustling of clothes, the creak of the mattress as he climbed in beside her – all these sounds were a stark reminder of her double life.
Arion slept peacefully, wrapping his arm around her from behind, unaware of the secret she held.
The next morning, Lily went about her day with her usual façade. She indulged in the luxury of the private pool, the water cool and inviting under the warm sun.
