Love and Deceit

"You want me to resign and come work in Magnífico?" Antonio asked with a look of utter astonishment on his face; one he knew Santo would imagine him having.

He could not wrap his head around the reason behind Santo's sudden request...

The fact that he is already impersonating the actual owner is enough to take in by the dead man's family.

What happens when the truth eventually blows up in everyone's faces?

And Santo is suggesting a more complicated request? That I should come work at Magnífico?

Is he codedly trying to get me involved in all these raucous murder investigation?

I can't place it, but there's definitely something or things that Santo is holding back from telling me.

Did Santo never think that his farce would come to an end soon enough?
