When Tanaga went back to the club, the butler started preparing the tasks that were a.s.signed by Tanaga.  He was smiling nicely as he went to the cas.h.i.+er cage to arrange the money for the Gusman family.

When he was done, he went back to the office of the General Manager and started making a memo for the different departments.  He needs to make sure that the process is right so that Arman will not suspect anything when he starts work.

"I hope that this Arman is a decent guy so that Ashley will not lose face to Tanaga. Sigh!  That's love... You will do everything so that your loved one will not leave you." The butler smirked.

Good thing that it was night time already, and all of the employees who work in the GM's office are gone, or else they might think he has some loose screws.

When he was done doing the memo for the different departments, he called the hotel were Arman is currently employed.

"h.e.l.lo, I have a complaint, and I want to talk to the highest-ranking officer on duty." He angrily said.

When he was able to talk to the person-in-charge at that time, he did everything so he can get the contact number of the G.M. of the hotel so he could directly complain.  He made sure that Arman will be fired and be forced to apply to another hotel.

The G.M. promised the butler that after they have talked, he would call Arman to inform him that he no job anymore.

When they were done talking, the butler was smiling mischievously because he knows he has accomplished his mission for Arman.  He just needed to do one more thing, and that is to inform Arman without making it obvious that their hotel needs a new G.M. He planned to do this once Ashley and Tanaga have left.

Present time:

It was late at night, and they were about to be done playing poker, but the butler has had no chance to mention that there is a vacancy in the hotel.  He was waiting for Arman to speak up first, but he was very focused on playing poker.

A few minutes later, Arman stood up.  "I'm out in this hand. I just have a phone call." He reached for his cellphone, which was on top of the poker table, and looked for a quiet area.

The butler was looking at Arman when he came back who was looking downtrodden.  'Hmm, this is my chance.' The butler thought as Arman approached.

"Son, why is your face like that?  Is there bad news?" The butler asked interestedly.

Arman hesitated to answer if he would tell the truth or if he would make excuses.  In the end, he decided to come clean in case the butler could help and recommend him.  "It's like this, Sir Ruffy…"

The butler let Arman finish his story before answering.  "That's nothing! I thought it was something worse, like your girlfriend broke up with you.  Hahaha! Cheer up. That's not an issue. As a matter of fact, there is an opening here in this hotel.  I'll take care of you. I will recommend you since I have some connections here." The butler boasted.

"Really?  Thank you so much if that's the case.  I just don't want to be a burden to my parents.  We spent a lot when we were fixing the papers of Ashley, so I cannot lose my job." Arman explained shyly as he spoke.

"Alright. Come on.  Let us continue this game.  We will talk about that tomorrow." In his mind, the butler thought, 'One down, six more to go. Lol!'

It was at night when they finished playing poker.  The truth came out... They are all professional players.  In the end, they had almost equal wins. They just played with each other since they realized that it would not be good to lose the money given by Tanaga to others.

After they were done, they stood up to go up the Penthouse to rest…. Then they realized that their mother, Aling Fely, was still gone.  Arnel volunteered to get their mother, but his father and brothers did not allow him.

"I think you also want to play, so you were quick to volunteer?" Arnold teased his younger brother.  Arnel just smiled secretly because it was the truth.

In the end, they agreed that all of them would look for Mother Fely.  They were about to leave when the butler stopped them. "Brother Jessie, is it ok if I call you, brother?" The butler asked first.

"It's ok, my brother Paeng!" Father Jessie answered, then draped his arms on the butler's shoulder.

"Why don't you let Sister Fely enjoy while we also play at the slot machines.  It's fun and enjoyable too. The drinks are even free while playing." The butler enticed everyone.

Arnold's eyes suddenly grew big at the butler's last statement that the drinks are free while playing.  In his head, 'I will make sure I will order the most expensive drink. Alright!'

Arman and Arthur were not able to do anything anymore since it's their father who already asked them.  "What do you think about kids? Let's make the most out of it since this is a one in a lifetime experience. Let your mom and I enjoy it while we still can." Mange Jessie said while smiling, but the sadness in his eyes was evident.

"Dad, are you ok?" Arman asked his father, who was obviously worrying.

"Hahaha! I'm ok.  I'm just a bit sad because I remembered that our youngest one is not with us.  But, if she did not insist on going to j.a.pan, we would not enjoy all of these. Sigh!" Mang Jessie sighed deeply while his hands are still draped over the butler's shoulder.

The butler was enjoying himself and tapped Mang Jessie's shoulder.  "Do not worry. I'm sure that Ma… I mean, Ashley is in good hands." Good thing he was able to stop himself before he called Ashley as Ma'am.

"Alright. Let's stop emoting.  Let's go so we can play more games."

While they were walking, Mang Jessie asked the butler.  "The money that you gave us for playing is it only for playing, or can we keep some of them?  I'm just asking." Arman also asked since he had no plans to gamble and wanted to return the envelope when he realized how much was inside the envelope.

"Son, Arman...That money was left for you.  Whatever you decide on how to spend it, like gambling or something else, it's up to you.  Sir Jones asked me to give you money. He did not say if that is only for gambling or it's a gift.  You know!"

"Ah!" They all nodded and looked at each other… They all smiled, which showed their s.h.i.+ny teeth due to happiness.
