At breakfast, whilst Amy is at the club retiring as a 'registered lady', the 5 ladies are asked whether they would prefer to work in the hotel or to join Emily's personal staff in the penthouse. It is explained that they would be doing much the same work in either job but when Emily is travelling away from Delhi they would live in the penthouse but work in the hotel, and of course attend club meetings at the Delhi branch. 4 of the ladies choose to join Emily's personal staff while the fifth, who was born in Delhi and wants to stay with her family, chooses employment at the Best Erotic Marigold Hotel of Delhi.
Ranjit takes the fifth lady to the General Manager, Ms Sangeeta Bhattacharya, and explains that the other four opted to join Emily's personal staff but will live in the penthouse when she is away from Delhi. She asks that they be given work in the hotel. They will all need to be released once a fortnight to attend club meetings. Ms Bhattacharya asks him to report to Ms Berkshire that she is happy to keep them employed while she is away and, provide transport to take them to and from their club meetings.
When they get together again for morning coffee, Amy reports that she has met with Thavanesh the Chairman of the Delhi branch, regarding her retirement from the club's register of active ladies. Similar to the permanent nature of a tattoo, being a 'registered lady' is also permanent, her name will simply be transferred to a register of ladies that are inactive. She adds that she, Emily, and Sansa have been asked to attend the monthly meeting for a short ceremony, before the monthly meeting tomorrow, to sign the registers. Having mentioned they were all at present in Delhi, the invitation was extended to them all. They all agree it is an excellent opportunity for the new ladies to attend their first monthly meeting and they all, including Emily, look forward to both events.
During afternoon tea on the next day, Nilesh reports to Emily that he has checked that the new members of his security team have a suitable hand gun and automatic assault weapon. He adds that they have been to a firing range and confirmed that they all are competent in the use and maintenance of both weapons. Emily thanks him with a smile for his continuing excellent service and he assures her that he will always 'be there' for her.
