Don’t Tell by Harper Lawson

What happens when you find a billionaire handcuffed to his bed frame?

This morning I scratched a billionaire’s car in the hotel parking garage with my cleaning cart.

My manager saw the whole thing and told me to go to his room and tell him what I did, or else I’d get fired.

He’s been staying in the penthouse for three weeks and I’ve been assigned to his room the entire time.

I took the elevator to the penthouse floor, my hands shaking the whole way up.

I knocked three times, but no answer.

I tried again to make sure, and still nothing.

His room was flagged for overdue housekeeping, so I used my master key.

The lights were off, and the safe was open and empty, which was strange.

I walked to the master bedroom to start cleaning, but when I opened the door…

He was handcuffed to the bed frame.

“Mr. Nightingale?!” I shouted, then covered my mouth.

He looked up at me and said,

“Suzanne… Can you keep a secret?”
