The luxurious ballroom sparkled beneath the afternoon sun. Fresh white flowers decorated every table, soft music floated through the air, and guests gathered to celebrate a beautiful ring ceremony.
Everyone smiled as the happy couple greeted friends and relatives.
No one noticed Emily quietly stepping away from the crowd.
She glanced around to make sure no one was watching.
A valuable diamond necklace rested in her hand.
Nearby, Grace, one of the event's maids, carefully arranged glasses on a serving table. She was focused on her work and never noticed Emily walking behind her.
In one quick movement, Emily slipped the necklace into Grace's apron pocket.
She immediately walked away and blended back into the crowd as if nothing had happened.
