Love and Deceit

Immediately I muttered those words to her, she paused and caught another glance at me, a quick one and gasped.

"Y-yes, Gus... I found what I was looking for, Now, if you will excuse me," she said and walked away from me, and out of the suite.

"Is it just me or did she just sound rather relaxed and irked out at the same time?" I spoke to myself.

However a familiar voice crept in my ears.

"Well, I think she is hiding something maybe-"

"Oh, you finally show up. Why did you disappear so suddenly, Gus? You could have stolen the opportunity to peep at what she was looking through, on her laptop," I flared up at him.

"Don't you think you are getting yourself unnecessarily worked up? Last I checked, the word 'choo' means make your presence dismissed. Wasn't that what you said I should do, Santo? You told me to leave remember?"
