Finally, Ashley’s family also arrived at the hotel where they were meeting. Ashley’s family was unaware she was spending a brief time at the motel, and they were even less aware that Ashley’s husband owned the hotel itself.
The prospect of seeing Ashley once more thrilled Arman. He did not notice the big sign in front of the hotel.
The lettering was large and striking:
[LOADING AND UNLOADING FOR SMALL VEHICLE ONLY] In one, the following points where a large vehicle similar to theirs can load and unload. Here is what it says: [>>>> FOR LARGE VEHICLE’S FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS>>>>>] With a big red arrow to follow.
Arman even parked in front of the hotel and let his parents and siblings out of the car. "All right, you all go ahead. I’ll find out where the parking lot is. I’ll be right back. Maybe our baby sister is waiting and getting bored."
"Brother! Why don’t you just valet parking? See that big sign, or it even says it’s free for hotel customers. Ashley’s a customer, right?... Then we’re customers as well!" Arthur said he is the second to the eldest of their siblings.
Arman saw the complimentary valet parking and looked up where Arthur was staring. "You’re correct, my friend! Proceed with confidence, and I’ll handle the valet parking attendant."
"Arman, are you sure? We might enter together if I joined you first. Placing his arms around his shoulder, Jessie offered.
His father chose to stay thrilled Arman because he lacks the funds to pay any valet parking fees that may arise. He does not fear anything else because he knows his father is wealthy.
Fely and his other children went ahead and prepared to go inside. However, they have not been able to enter the hotel door yet. They hear something, and someone is coming.
* Prrt, Prrt, Prrt! * Together, they all turned to see who the security guard was whistling to. Fely saw that the security guard was heading to where Jessie and Arman were waiting for the valet parking attendant. Suddenly, she got worried and wondered if she was going to go in or out.
When the security guard saw the FX park and looked like they plan to valet parking ... He quickly approached their vehicle.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You’re not allowed to hang around there. And if you’re looking for a valet attendant, you can forget it, and we don’t valet your type of vehicle."
"What? There’s nothing written there that our type of vehicle is not included? Come on, Mr. Guard! Are you joking?" Arman argued, but his face looked upset because he felt the security guard belittling them.
Meanwhile, the security guard was determined to destroy them for obstructing traffic flow. "I don’t care whether it is mentioned on the sign. I am telling you right now that you cannot park there. At the exact moment, he pointed to the parking lot.
Arman’s attention tracked where the security guard’s finger was directed. He saw that the parking lot was far away but within walking reach. Worst of all, it was burning hot because it was about noon, and the sun was blazing brightly above them.
Arman wondered whether the man needed a gratuity, so he whispered to Jessie. "Dad, I think...Do you know? Do you own a brown one?" Arman whispered to his father.
Jessie understood what Arman meant. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket behind his pants and grabbed his wallet. When the security guard saw it, his eyes widened, and he smiled.
’I guess they are not bad at all, and they at least understand what I mean.’ At the same time, he’s waiting for what Jessie will hand over.
But ... Instead of Jessie reaching five-hundred, it was only worth a few pesos and was obviously forced.
"Please accept my heartfelt apologies; this was all I could afford. This might at least purchase you a cup of coffee, you know... we’re not exactly wealthy." Jessie replied, smiling at the security man.
When the security guy noticed the hue he was presenting, his eyebrows lifted, and he sighed before pulling back and muttering.
"What do you think of me? Do you believe you can bribe me? No way, José! Why don’t you just put it away? You seem to need it more than I do." The security guard said triumphantly. He even ensured that passers-by heard it.
Arman was embarrassed by what was happening, especially the way the people were staring at them and smirking as they passed by, they were looking at them from head to foot. The onlooker would whisper then began laughing at them as an insult.
Arman was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide. He felt like he was melting like ice very slowly. So he whispered to his father once again, "Dad, if you have five hundred pesos, why don’t you go ahead and give it to him? Many people were looking at us, and it’s embarrassing." Arman begged his father.
"Arman, you know how difficult it is to get five hundred. Didn’t it say, valet is free ... Why do I have to pay a fee, that’s what I don’t understand?" Jessie argued to Arman whose melting like a candle as the increasing number of bystanders was watching them.
While the security guard was boasting in front of other people, a car came in. The car was stuck because it couldn’t wait. The driver of the vehicle was unable to withstand it and exited. He was visibly angry as he asked why the traffic was too slow.
"Sir, I’m sorry! The two didn’t even notice that their car couldn’t be parked. So here’s what happened!" The security guard explains to the newly arrived guest.
The man looked out at his watch after getting out of the car. "Shit! I’m late for my interview."
He threw the key to the security guard and then a thousand pesos. "Mr. Security guard, could you valet park this, please? And that’s for you! I’m sorry, but I’m late!" He quickly left and entered the hotel as if the demon were hunting him.
When Arman and Jessie saw the color of the money, the man had given the security guard, and they just decided to park their car. The two quickly got into the car and followed the arrow where they were supposed to park...
"Wow! If that’s the big tip, why don’t I apply for a job here? What do you think, Dad?" Arman asked his father, who kept shaking his head and marveling at what he saw.
"Gosh! That’s too much!" That all that Jessie said to Arman as a reply while continuously shaking his head...
