Ashley quickly excused herself to Sophia and asked her forgiveness. "Ma"am, I"m sorry! but it seems work is calling me." Ashley and Tanaga were about to leave when suddenly she remembers that she hasn"t taken a picture with Sophia yet.
Suddenly she stopped Tanaga. "Wait a minute!" Se then removed Tanaga"s hand and returned to where her family was busy taking pictures with Sophia. * Clik! Click! Click * "Let me have a couple of selfies first before I go!" She squeezed herself in and began taking selfies with Sophia and her family.
Tanaga was stunned for a moment and couldn"t say a word. He has no choice but to return and wait for Ashley to finish before they could leave.
When Ashley finished her selfie several times with Sophia and her family, she then repeated her goodbye and proceeded to leave. She was thrilled that the best painter could not draw her face from the happiness that was showing.
She was grinning from ear to ear like a little child. All of her white teeth were exposed, and her two dimples were completely submerged.
She was so busy looking at the pictures that she had taken while walking. She didn"t even notice that Tanaga was blocking her direction, and he"s right on her face when ... "Thud!" She collided with Tanaga, who was ready for her arrival and suddenly embraced her then stolen a kiss.
* Tsup!-Tsup!-Tsup!* Right on both her cheeks and then to her lips.
"Oh, my G.o.d! Saint Mary! What in the world are you doing?" Ashley asked while she was looking around, checking if anyone had seen them.
"Phew!" She then smeared an imaginary sweat on her face, while glaring at Tanaga.
When Tanaga still didn"t move so they could leave, Ashley looked at him with wide eyes and asked him a question? "I thought there was an emergency? Why are you still standing there and hasn"t made a move? Let"s go already!"
When Tanaga heard Ashley"s angry retort, he suddenly realized that the butler was waiting for them. He then took Ashley"s hand before pulling her out further away from the club. Ashley didn"t even ask where they were going.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the front desk, where the antsy butler was waiting for them with a big grin on his face. "Ma"am, Sir! Everything"s ready. Here are the keys to their rooms. I had put the boys near the swimming pool. While your mother-in-law and father-in-law would occupy your penthouse. Is that to your satisfaction? " Said the butler while he"s handing the room keys of the hotel to Tanaga.
"Excuse me? What does this mean?" Ashley"s curiously asked the question to Tanaga. " He seems to be doing it for her family, and she"s glad that Tanaga had done it. However, what about them? Where are they going to sleep if he"s letting her parents use the penthouse?" She"s lost and doesn"t know what to say.
Tanaga noticed that Ashley was thinking deeply, so he quickly explained it, so she would understand what was going on. "I"m sorry! Sweetie, but we have to leave tonight. My grandmother is hospitalized, and we have to go back." However, Tanaga was acting like he didn"t really care.
Tanaga further explained that his grandmother might be only pulling their legs, for she didn"t seem to be in the hospital from the way she sounds.
"I know what you"re thinking... Why don"t I feel like it"s an emergency, because I know my grandmother? You met her, right? Would you believe that for a moment? The last time we saw her, she was healthy as an ox, and she suddenly became ill and hospitalized? She"s feigning. It"s for us to come back. " Tanaga explained, and Ashley understood what he meant by that.
"Ahhh! I got you, sir! Hahaha!" Ashley then laughed so beautifully in Tanaga"s eyes. He couldn"t take his eyes off her, and he was mesmerized from the way she was smiling.
They had forgotten about the butler whose cheeks turn red and only shook his head as he watched what the couple was doing.
Tanaga noticed that the butler was still there and has not left yet. Therefore, he couldn"t make his move with Ashley. "Did you finished everything I had asked you to do?" Tanaga angrily told the butler.
"Sir, what are you asking if I had finished?" The butler banters to Tanaga.
Tanaga"s evil eyes looked at the butler while he raised his brow. He then pulled him aside away from Ashley so she would not hear what he had to say.
"You!... Don"t you understand Tagalog? I know you have been living in j.a.pan for a long time now, but I don"t think that you already have forgotten your native language. Right? Don"t you understand what I wanted? I want you to leave us alone so that I could make my move!" Tanaga whispered that eyes widened.
"Hahaha! Come on, Sir, I was only kidding. Yes! I had finished all that you had ordered me to do. Beginning tomorrow, I will contact her brother Arman for an interview. I mean to find out what he"s capable of.
"Don"t worry, sir! Even if he doesn"t know anything, he will still be the new hotel manager. I already informed the H.R. to prepare the contract. Is that ok?"
" Hmmm? For now, it"s ok! Just be prepared to report everything when you get back." Said Tanaga as he went back towards Ashley, who was still busy admiring the pictures she had taken with Sophia.
"You better watch yourself, If tonight I don"t get lucky! You"re dead when you come back, for I will kill you." Tanaga was saying to himself as he got nearer to his wife.
"Sir Ma"am! I"m going to go ahead and get your things ready for you to leave." The butler said his goodbye, and before he left, he bows, giving his respect to his employer.
When Ashley saw that the butler was leaving, she was ready to return to the club where her family was waiting for them to return. However, Tanaga quickly pulled her towards him and stole a kiss once again.
"I need an appetizer!" Tanaga said with a devilish smile plastered on his face.
Ashley: "^ - ^"
