Three months later, Daniel returned to the same ballroom for a charity event.
There was no wedding.
No Victoria.
Emma was there too.
But she was no longer working as a maid.
Daniel had offered her a position managing event security for the Carter Foundation.
She walked toward him holding a phone.
Daniel laughed.
Should I be worried?
Emma smiled.
Not this time.
The investigation into Marcus and Victoria had uncovered a much larger plan involving company money and forged documents.
Daniel had been fortunate.
Emma had noticed something everyone else missed.
He looked toward the table where the champagne glass had once stood.
One small recording had changed the entire night.
Emma looked at him.
You still hate champagne?
Daniel smiled.
Only unattended glasses.
They both laughed.
Months earlier, Emma had been the quietest person in the ballroom.
But when everyone else was celebrating, she was the only one paying attention.
And because she raised her phone instead of staying silent, Daniel walked away from the wedding with the truth.
