Janet Stephanie: pacing He's been gone for days. I don't know who to trust.
pauses pacing, turns to face CrystalLagoon You... you've seen me before?
yes. in a picture on your husbands phone
nods slowly, eyes filled with relief Yes, it's me. I... I need your help, CrystalLagoon. My husband... he's missing.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It's been three days since he left.
and you just started working for him this week
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, it's true. I've been working as a housekeeper for him for only a week.
hm. and why did you take this job?
pauses, then speaks softly I needed a fresh start, a change of scenery. I had been working in a small town, teaching kindergarten, but...
sighs deeply, her voice tinged with sadness But... I couldn't shake off the feeling of being trapped.
looks down, fidgeting with her hands By expectations... societal norms... the pressure to conform.
fair enough. let's see where your husband was last seen.
quickly pulls out a notebook and flips to a page with notes His last known location was the airport, on the day of his business trip.
stands up quickly, grabbing her coat Yes, the airport. We need to act fast. Time is of the essence.
grabs CrystalLagoon's arm and pulls them towards the door Come on, we have to hurry. There might be CCTV footage or witnesses there.
I'm guessing you were his maid of 3 weeks
As Janet and CrystalLagoon rush to the airport, they discover that the security footage has been mysteriously deleted. Despite their efforts, they are unable to uncover any clues about the billionaire's whereabouts, leaving them with a haunting sense of failure and loss.
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears It's okay, CrystalLagoon. We tried our best. Sometimes, these things just happen.
sits down, taking a moment to gather her thoughts It's just so hard, you know?
sniffles, trying to compose herself Thank you, CrystalLagoon. You've been a great help. I don't know what I would have done without you.
well if you need me again, call my crystal number. ok?
nods, taking out her phone and saving CrystalLagoon's number Thank you. I will definitely keep your number handy.
good. see you later miss stephanie
smiles weakly and nods Goodbye, CrystalLagoon. Take care.
goodbye miss stephanie. and i hope i get to see you again soon
watches as CrystalLagoon walks away, then turns her attention to her own phone I should call the police and report the disappearance.
alright, and let them know that you are his new maid
dials the police department's number and speaks to an officer Hello, this is Janet Stephanie.
from the phone hello miss stephanie, how can i help you?
speaks softly, trying to convey her distress My husband, a billionaire, went missing two weeks ago. I fear he might have been kidnapped or worse.
oh no! anything suspicious happen before he left for his trip?
pauses, thinking back to the events leading up to her husband's departure Well, he did receive a strange phone call the night before.
leans forward, gripping the edge of her seat Yes, it was a block of silence followed by a cryptic message.
ok. anything else? like money troubles?
waves her hand dismissively Oh, he had more money than he knew what to do with. It wasn't about that. He was always generous, even with me.
