<div style="text-align: justify;">Colette was concerned about Paul, and wondering about what she could do to get his attention. She was also concerned about her job, but decided that she would have no problem if she were to behave discreetly. With these thoughts in mind, she decided that she would pay a visit later, when she got off work.<br/><br/>With her mind set on that, Colette went on with her work, moving to change beddings in some rooms whose occupants had left for some sight-seeing.<br/><br/>She had been instructed to prepare room 204 as well, as it would soon be occupied by a very rich lady guest. As she had very detailed instructions to follow for this specific room - specific colors, flowers, champagne and all the works - Colette decided to wait and leave the room for last. And she would also have to get someone to go up and give the guest a tour of her room. Go figure, she thought to herself. Might be another foreign guest wanting the full "Paris experience". Or some other spoiled rich girl whose daddy had paid for the trip, perhaps. Who knew with these people? Then again, she thought, if you have money to burn, you can allow yourself to be a fool.<br/><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;">***************</div><br/><br/>The American lady stepped out of her taxi as soon as Rich and Diane left theirs. She spent some time outside the store they had entered, checking the dresses showcased on the shop windows in appreciation. Her reasoning was that it might be odd if she walked in right away, and also, she wanted to make sure that Diane and Rich would be busy enough not to pay attention to her.<br/><br/>While Richard and Diane looked around for dress models, the lady - well dressed and speaking a broken French that didn't go much further than a greeting and a question about whether or not the saleswoman could speak English - entered the store and asked for help finding a dress that, by coincidence, seemed to have the same model Richard was buying to his two women.<br/><br/>The lady went to try the dress with a saleswoman, and among some whispers and slipping the woman some money, she gained another - albeit temporary - ally.<br/><br/>She needed as much information as she could, after all, for her next targets.</div>
