Lost in translation – film

I explored many different things during the year when I was a housekeeper in the Four Seasons Hotel. Once I got my room list after the morning meeting as usual and I decided to knock on the only suit room on my list first. I found there was a gold necklace on the bar when I arrived at the door. I was so confused but I still followed our standard to knocked on her door. After 10mins there was no reply, so I opened the door then my nightmare started from here. I had never seen such this big mess before and I didn’t even know where should I started to clean this room.
