Love and Deceit

As Eleonora sashayed in the hallway of the third floor, she headed in the direction that she knew ma'am Sancia would be in. She took dignified steps as she sauntered on her way greeting everyone she came across with an intended smile of warmth.

The old lady, ma'am Sancia had called in sick this morning but who wouldn't? Not with how they had all been made to work like mechanized robots for the past twenty-four-hour period which had just elapsed.

In Eleonora's opinion, the universe had chosen to favour her with good resistance otherwise she'd have called in sick that morning as well.

However, since that was far from being the case for he, Eleonora at this time, was headed for the old lady's room­­- the one she shares with her son, Marcello.

Luckily and unluckily for Eleonora , she saw Marcello walking towards her from the opposite direction.

Once Marcello had caught up with her, he smiled broadly as he prepared himself to speak.
