Hilary continued to Penelope’s room where she was expected. She’d organised this interview through one of the working girls who knew Penelope. She knocked, Penelope opened, peeked down the hall and pulled her into the room. Penelope’s room was elegant, with a king-sized bed, black leather chaise lounge, the themed chandeliers, and a spa tub. A private bath with a shower was also attached.
