    Hello jdp12345,
    It doesn't look like a double-meaning sentence. Do you have more context? What was told before?

    Hi jdp12345! It doesn't seem to have a double meaning But I don't see the relation between going to the office and drinking a glass of water, haha

    Hi jdp12345, I agree, it doesn't sound like there is some "hidden" meaning there (I dont think this person means you should turn off your heater Do you have a little more context?

    Means:
    "I'll see you tomorrow at your office, and I'll better have a cup of water, because it's getting scalding!"
    (Caloron = Very hot, almost burning,)
    That I know of, in latin america, there are a lot of gestures with hands and eyes that can put a double entendre(or meaning).
    In this case in particular it depends in if it's referring to Hot in your office as "there is someone hot in there" or "there is drama in your office"
    It needs more context for an appropriate understanding.

    Hope that helps!
