Bound By A Red Thread THREAD SEVENTEEN: AGREED
“D-DON’T tell me you agreed to your grandfather wishes?” Meredith asked when she realized what Randall had said.Meredith knew Randall could afford that large sum, but at his age, he didn’t, for now, especially since his inheritance would only be given if he agreed to what his grandfather wanted. Randall looked her in the eyes. “Well, that’s the only way I can think of to solve your problems. We will both benefit if we agree to Grandpa’s dying wish.”He pointed a finger on her. “You, you can pay your debt instantly.” Then pointed to himself. “And me? I will get my inheritance.”When he got no response from her, he continued. “I also realized that during the time I was happy-go-lucky, he never interfered with everything I wanted to do. He gives me everything I want so maybe it’s time for me to follow him, especially now that he’s getting weaker and weaker. Consider how this agreement will benefit both of us. All we have to do is to pretend in front of Grandpa to make him believe us. P

“ISN’T your grandfather amazing? I can’t believe that he gave away the one million pesos so quickly.” Meredith commented as they made their way to Mr. Hakim when the weekend has come, the day given to them.“I told you, I’m his only grandchild, that’s why it’s easy for me to ask him. If there was anything Grandpa was afraid of, it was me going to America with Dad.”“If I have to bet on the Lottery every day just to save money to repay you, I will.”He laughed and shook his head in response to what she said. “You can do whatever you want. I’m not putting pressure on you.”She nodded. Until they realized they had arrived at Mr. Hakim’s place.“Let’s go straight to our business. Give me what I need.” Mr. Hakim greeted them.Randall showed the check to the paunchy man. Mr. Hakim was about to take it when Randall moved it away from him.“W-what are you doing? Just give it to him.” Meredith whispered when he do that to the paunchy man.“What the hell?! You really want me to get angry, don’t

“WHAT’S the real score between you and Randall? You even came in together and we saw with our two eyes that you were holding hands while walking,” Marylex asked curiously as she approached Meredith, while Shanaia waited for her response.She pulled them to the side of their room before telling them the truth.“Oh my goodness! For real?” Marylex said in shock after hearing the story.Shanaia folded her arms. “Looks like someone is in trouble because of what you entered.”She and Marylex looked at her in awe.“What do you mean, Shan?” she asked.She didn’t say anything, but Shanaia pointed to her heart which she immediately understood. “But you can prevent that from happening,” Shanaia added.“H-how?”“If you can make him fall in love with you.”“Right!” Marylex agreed.She didn’t know if she could do that. For her, their pretensions are difficult. What else could make him fall in love with her? Besides, she has no idea if she possesses the qualities he seeks in a woman.She shook her

This is the first time you address someone you despise in their first name.”She shrugged. “I don’t know! When I heard what he’s going through right now, I suddenly felt guilty for the things we say and do to him, especially that cheating incident in class with Mrs. Garzon.”“I knew it!
