Love and Deceit

After talking for a while, we stayed on a bit before I decided to make it known to him that I still had matters to tend to and as such it was due that I took my leave.

At this time, Humberto's mood or should I say his facial oozed out a relaxing vibe sorta emotion. I take it that the news of running the hotel for the meantime had made him feel good of sort.

Well, I knew I had to go back in--conversation time was already over, and I'd gotten the words off my chest so on to the next shall we?

"Berto, I think it's time I went back into the hotel." I tried to reason with him.

By this time, Mr Ghost guy had made his re-entry.

Sorry Gus, if you have words to say to me, it'd have to be till I got back to the office because I can't handle a fancy mind talk right now.

At this time I can recognize Humberto's lips curl to speak.

"You mean, 'we' Gus. I have pending matters as well."
