I pull my phone out and tried to message Hugo to clarify things about it.

HUGO: Penthouse South.

I pulled my head up and faced at the smiling attendant and showed him Hugo’s message. Her widened eyes as soon as she stares at the conversation and gasped.

I arched my brow at her, “It would be pretty much of an inconvenience if I talk to your manager and try to tell him about how you treated me as a guest here?” I ask her.

She looks back at me for about a minute or two, “I-I’m so sorry." She recovers and forces a friendlier but nervous smile. "My mistake."

“Yeah an intentional one.” I answered

I walked to the elevator and greeted the man who was operating the buttons who smiled at me. At least he's welcoming than that jealous front desk staff.

"What floor?" He asks.

"Penthouse South."

He looks at suspiciously.

I forced a smile and thought for a second that this one is a suspicious one too, “Hugo is expecting me."

He smiles. "Ah Mr. Saintclare. They said he was expecting a visitor."
