A grand, upscale hotel lobby bathed in warm, golden light, with polished marble floors reflecting the soft glow of ambient lighting. Maria, a striking woman in her late 20s, steps into the frame, her shimmering evening dress catching the light as she moves with poised elegance. Her heels click softly against the marble, echoing faintly in the vast, luxurious space. Her expression is composed but distant, her eyes focused ahead, betraying a subtle tension. Beside her, an older man in a tailored suit walks with an air of authority, his silver hair gleaming under the lights. His hand rests lightly on the small of her back, a gesture that feels both possessive and protective. The lobby is adorned with subtle opulence—ornate chandeliers, plush seating, and the faint scent of expensive perfume lingering in the air. A doorman in a crisp uniform holds the door open, his deferential smile adding to the scene's sophistication. The atmosphere is a blend of elegance and underlying unease, captured in a single, cinematic moment.
