You Know Each Other

Cathy and Alex reached the eighteenth floor. A tall woman just got out of room 1812. She is tall, with red curly hair and looks puzzled. She approached the two in no time and started to talk. "Hello", she was breathing heavily. "I need your help, someone stole my jewelry." Alex and Cathy looked at each other, "We'll have this reported to the security, ma'am." Alex said to her, his voice, assuring her safety. Cathy grabs her phone from her right pocket and started calling. The woman invited them to come inside the suite, Alex went in next to her. Cathy was left outside, talking to some security personnel as they have just arrived. "Hi, I am Vivian" the lady introduced herself to Alex. "Is she doing something out there?" "Yes, ma'am. In fact she's coordinating with some people for the security cameras." She smiled a bit at him, "I hope we find out who did this." She was showing him the jewelry boxes that are almost empty. Cathy went in this time. "They are checking the security cameras," she told them. "It's all right, dear, you might need to go back to work." Vivian is obviously an older lady, probably in her mid twenties. She has the confidence of a woman who owns luxury bags and jewelry. "Catherine," she said, "I know I have assigned you to be my personal assistant as long as I stay here," she was being nice to her. "You need to do your duties," "I guess I didn't do well," Cathy said in reply. "You've had lost items in your suite," she cut her off "It is all fine, I have someone to help me out with this." Cathy turned to leave and Alex told her, "I'll see you later." Just as she was about to enter the elevator, a tall man got out of it. It was Jon. He was rushing to Vivian's suite and gave Cathy a quick tap on the shoulder to let her know he has seen her. "What's going on here?" He immediately asked. "Missing jewelry, sir." Alex said to him in reply. "Jonathan!" Vivian approached him and gave him a quick hug. Cathy's eyes widened at the sight. She did not expect the scene. "You know each other?", she asked Jon. "Oh," Vivian turned to her. "He has been a friend and we dated when we were younger," she looked straight at his eyes, and back to Cathy. "We're great friends now," she let him in, Jon was not able to say a word to Cathy, since Vivian has done all the talking. Alex and Cathy walked towards the elevator, went to the sixteenth floor function room to attend to guests, while the other two were left with other security personnel.
