under the name Calloway,” he said.

      “Just a moment, please.” She started typing in the computer in front of her. “Ah, we have the reservation. Mr. Calloway, you and your guest are in the Royale Suite.”

      She looked up at him, expectant. He frowned.

      “No, we have two guest rooms,” he said, pulling out his wallet. “They’ll be on my company card, here.”

      He rifled through his cards and handed her a Black American Express.

      “I will be happy to check again,” she said. She typed another string of information, and looked up at him. “I’m sorry, but it looks like your reservation was changed yesterday. Paid for in advance by a Spencer Calloway.”

      He repressed a grimace. Of course his father had to meddle in his affairs. It made total sense.

      “Alright. There are two bedrooms, at least?”

      “Yes, sir. It’s just down the first floor corridor. I’ll have one of the bellhops take you.”

      “Thank you. Are these the keys?”

      “Oui, monsieur.”

      He turned around and spotted Cameron taking a cell phone photo of a sculpture of ballerinas dancing. He had no doubt that it was famous, but he had no time for art right now.

      “Cameron, come on,” he chastised her. “We’re down the hall.”

      He turned on his heel and followed the bellhop down a series of corridors, until they arrived at the Royale Suite.

      He opened the door, tipping the bellhop as he looked around. They walked into a living room of cream furniture, all perfectly immaculate.

      “Whoa,” he heard Cameron say. “Holy shit.”

      The living room led into a white marble covered dining room, and an elegant marble balcony with black patio furniture. Two bedrooms and bathrooms were set up just off the living room as well, both with kingsize beds and done in beige tones.

      Smith turned to Cameron, possibly to make a joke of the ridiculous accommodations. Then he saw her putting her baggage in one of the bedrooms. She shot him a look, and shut the bedroom door with a definitive click.
