Carlos and Patricia were together in the waiting room.
Hugo arrived first, greeting the two of them.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Carlos, good afternoon Miss Patricia," Hugo said in his characteristically warm manner. He regarded Carlos with a searching gaze, wondering whether Patricia hadn't really demanded anything from him because of this man?
"Please sit down a moment," Mr. Hugo said, immediately walking to the intercom. "Please call Josh to the waiting room." The intercom switched off, and moments later a man of about eighteen came to the waiting room.
"Yes, Sir." The young man bowed in front of Mr. Hugo.
"Please prepare the guests' order." Then Hugo looked at the guests. "Hot coffee, warm tea? Or mineral water? Think of it like in your own office. Our city motto is to provide the best service for the people of the city." Including sex services, Hugo thought in his mind.
Hugo had attempted to send a flirtatious signal to Patricia that she did not acknowledge at all.
