Love and Deceit

The elevator trip from the tenth floor where Gustavo's office sat, all the way down to the fifth floor which housed the Suite of ma'am Imelda Rodríguez—the mother of the Rodríguez sons, was an eventful one.

As usual, there was the clicking sound on the lift, every now and then, to afford people to get on and get off at various floors, although the lift was never crowded because there were many others like it, in the luxurious hotel.

Greeting and being greeted by people who made an entrance, old and young alike, those who knew the 'Gustavo Rodríguez' in person, and those who didn't, felt accomplishing but overall exhausting.

However, the encounter with Angela Su about an hour or so ago, was the cheesiest of the day's encounter.

Okay! Let's save the chit-chat for later and get on with more important information.
