Chapter 19.

Panic.

Samantha kept thinking that they had found both of them in an awkward situation, but Cora had ignored her, so she didn't know for sure what she had seen... and a sign of her nerves was that she was biting her nails in the process of rethinking the situation.

A woman who saw her approached her, she had seen this woman enter Mrs. Cora's room the night before, but her appearance was completely tired, however, kindly, Samantha asked: ¿what are you looking for, miss?

Then, the woman simply told her: I want to report an abuse to the captain of the cruise ship... and Samantha told her: right now the captain is busy, but if you like you can tell me what the abuse is about, and I will try to solve it for you.

If you would be so kind as to give me your name…

 I would be delighted, so the woman told her: my name is Grecia Marquez and I want to report an abuse by a crew member, I would like you to arrest her and hand her over to the authorities…

That immediately alarmed Samantha, who began to think that this woman wanted to denounce Mrs. Cora in some way, but she continued listening to her to find out more about the situation…

Grecia began to tell her that she had met a woman at the inauguration, they had gone to her bedroom and had begun to have a carnal encounter, but that halfway through the encounter the woman became violent and sexually abused her with a gun…

Then she took her out of the room and threw money in her face as if she were some kind of luxury prostitute who could be silenced by a few bills, and that the abuser had been Cora Park…

Samantha, upon hearing her, said: we are sorry that you had a bad experience on the cruise; I will send your report and your statement to the appropriate people, for now, ¿why don't you enjoy the facilities to calm down and relax?, maybe your mind can be put at ease from what happened…

Thank you, she told her, she was grateful for having listened to her, but she wanted the woman to apologize on her knees, and although she knew that the woman had a reputation for being dangerous, she would not remain silent.

Samantha sweetened her with her smile and her soft words of encouragement promising that she would pass her report to the appropriate people; And once the woman was away, Samantha let out a breath, because she knew that the report would never reach anyone here…

And she wasn't crazy enough to get into trouble with Cora Park, so keeping silent she continued on her way until she came face to face with James, who asked her if something was wrong, and it was there that she confessed to him: a crew member has come to me to make a complaint against your boss for sexual abuse, obviously I'm not going to pass the report on to anyone, and he told her: ¿do you know what her name is?, to which she simply told him that her name was Grecia Marquez…
