The Spilled Secrets

Eleanor: What is all this garbage?

Maya: It isn't garbage.

Eleanor: These are old papers. Where is my jewelry?

Maya: There was never any jewelry in this bag.

Eleanor: You swapped it! You took my emeralds.

Maya: I have never seen your emeralds, ma'am.

Eleanor: Don't play dumb with me.

A tall man in a sharp black tuxedo pushed his way through the circle of recording phones.

Marcus: Is there a problem here, Eleanor?

Eleanor: Marcus! Thank god. Arrest this girl.

Marcus: I am the hotel manager, Eleanor, not a police officer.

Eleanor: Then throw her out.

Marcus: What exactly did she do?

Eleanor: She attacked me and stole my belongings.

Maya: That is a lie.

Eleanor: She has my silver clutch right there!

Maya: It looks just like yours, but it isn't.

Eleanor: Ridiculous. It is a custom piece.

Maya: Yes, it is. There were two made.

Eleanor: You are insane.

Maya: One was for his wife.

Eleanor: Exactly.

Maya: And the other was for his daughter.

Marcus looked down at the young girl sitting on the floor, his eyes widening slightly.

Marcus: Daughter?

Eleanor: Do not listen to a word she says, Marcus.

Maya: My name is Maya Vance.

Eleanor: Shut your mouth.

Maya: I am Arthur Vance's biological daughter.

Eleanor: Arthur and I never had children!

Maya: No. You didn't.

Eleanor: He would have told me.

Maya: He didn't want you to know.

Eleanor: Because you are a scam artist trying to get a payout.

Maya: I don't want a payout.

Eleanor: Then what are you doing crashing my charity gala?

Maya: I came to give you these.

Maya gathered the crumpled papers from the marble floor, her hands still shaking from the slap.

Marcus: What are those documents, miss?

Eleanor: Do not engage with her, Marcus.

Maya: It is a copy of my father's final will.

Eleanor: Arthur's will was finalized ten years ago.

Maya: He updated it last week.

Eleanor: I would have been notified by the estate lawyer.

Maya: The estate lawyer is the one who gave me this bag.

Eleanor: Mr. Sterling would never do that.

Maya: He did it this morning, right after my father passed away.

Eleanor: Hand over those papers right now.

Maya: No.

Eleanor: They are my private property!

Maya: They belong to the estate.

Eleanor: I am the sole beneficiary of the estate.

Maya: Not anymore.

Eleanor's face turned completely red as she reached out to snatch the papers, but Marcus stepped between them.
