When Elijah Smith walked out of the elevator, he happened to see Ella Adams reaching the end of the hotel corridor, swiping her card to enter a Presidential Suite.
Inside the hotel corridor, it was exceptionally quiet. The red carpet stretched all the way down the hall, footsteps making no sound. Elijah walked slowly to the entrance of Ella's room, looking at the firmly closed red solid wood door. He swallowed and craned his neck upward to look at the gold ceiling light above him. Slowly stretching out his hand, he took a cigarette from his pocket, but couldn't find his lighter.
Just then, a waiter came by, pushing a food trolley. On it was a white porcelain cup with a lid, and a card beside it that said "soy milk," stopping right in front of Ella's room.
Seeing the cigarette pinched in Elijah's hand, the waiter gently reminded him, "Sir, I'm sorry, but smoking is not allowed here."
