Tapping his fingers on the handle of his chair, "So, you got the things I want?"
The worker replied, "Yes, Sir. I've got everything you asked for." He pulled out a picture from his pocket. "Gillian Chung. 21 year-old. Daughter of the bakery Honey. Technically speaking, she and her family shouldn't have any economic problems, but her father loves to gamble. (the worker chuckled) Lately luck wasn't on his side. He lost a lot, and he owed people about $100,000. And..."
The man rasied his hand. "Thank you. That's enough. Your check is on the table."
The worker took the check and said, "Thank you, Sir." And left.
The man turned around and took the picture. "Sweet. No wonder Ed kept talking about her."

Stirring her cup of tea, Michelle said, "So, shouldn't his mom be on your side now?"
"It's only a bag of cookies," Gillian replied and signed.
"What's wrong, Gill?" Tavia asked.
"Nothing much the two of you can do," Gillian replied.
Michelle placed a hand on Gillian's shoulder. "'Course there's nothing we can do 'cuz you're not telling us anything. So how can we help?"
Gillian signed again before telling her friends what was bothering her. "My dad has been gambling again. He owed people $100,000 this time."
Tavia and Michlle gasped when they heard the amount of money Gillian's father owed. "No wonder you said there's nothing we can do," Tavia said. "You know. I do have $10,000. You can return it when you can."
"Thanks, Tav, but I have $90,000 to get!" Gillian signed.
"I have $10,000, too. I don't need the money yet." Michelle said.
"Thanks $80,000 more to go. My mom and I used up every cents of ours for his debt last time." Tavia patted Gillian to comfort her. "I guess I really need to sell the bakery to get money this time."
"But that's everything to you and your mom," Michelle exclaimed.
"That will be the last step I will make if I can't get the last $80,000. And this WILL be my last time paying for his debts!" Gillian said.
A man walked up to their table and tapped Gillian on the shoulder. The man said as Gillian turned around to look at him, "Miss Chung, there's something my master and my mistress need to talk to you."
Gillian asked as the man pointed to the table where Mr. and Mrs. Chen were sitting. "Your master and your mistress? Why?"
"You will know once you get there," the man replied.
