Bound By A Red Thread THREAD THIRTEEN: TEAM BUILDING
AFTER Meredith’s club meeting, she went straight to Venza Café which is Shanaia’s cousin’s Café, because today is her first day. She chose to be a dishwasher so that no one would noticed her working there at the age of seventeen.“Good evening, Sir Magnus!” she greeted the owner of the café when she saw him.“It’s great that you’re here early. Here’s your hair net and apron. Today is rush hour so work must be completed quickly. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be cautious in your actions. Remember, you have to pay for it if you break it!” Marcus said as a reminder.“Yes, Sir!”“Good! You may now start your work.”She nodded then quickly put on the hair net and apron before she proceeded to her workstation. Meredith could breathe a sigh of relief when the café closed at ten o’clock. Her palms were almost wrinkled from being soaked in water for four hours. Her feet were also hurt from standing for so long. Fortunately, she was able to return home immediately.“Hi, Mom! Why are you here

“MER! Mer, what’s going on? Are you okay?” Joebeth asked in a panic mode when she noticed that Meredith was trembling with fear while her hands were covering both of her ears.John Person came over right away. “Mer?! W-what’s going on?” he asked worriedly.Joebeth shook her head. “I-I don’t know! She suddenly became like that after the loud sound.”“Mer, hang-on!” Randall interrupted who was now close to Meredith.“Robi, get my bag, hurry! Hurry up!” he begged, which his friend immediately followed.“Mr. Dacles, what the hell are you doing?!” John Person asked with a mixture of worry and anger after Randall put the earphone in Meredith’s ears.Maybe he thinks what he is doing is crazy.“Mr. Dacles, I’m warning you! If something bad happ—”“Captain, I know exactly what I’m doing!” he interrupted.“But—”“Everything is fine now. She’s just having a panic attack, but she will get over it soon,” he answered.John Person frowned. “W-what do you mean?”“Y-you mean, you don’t know anything a

MEREDITH ends her day without seeing Randall again. She just found out that Don Warrick had not yet been released from the hospital according to what their professor had informed them so she decided to pay him a visit after their appointment with the Forensic sketch artist. And now, they’re just waiting for the result of the sketch.“Oh my gosh! The girl in your dream is stunningly beautiful! She looks like a Campus Queen.” Marylex’s reaction when she saw the face of the woman in Meredith’s dream.“And a goddess who descended from heaven!” Shanaia added.Marylex put her right hand under her chin to think. “I’m wondering, when will you see the man’s face in your dream? I’m sure he’s attractive and handsome too!” “That’s what I’m thinking too.”Shanaia rubbed her shoulder. “Don’t worry, we will help you.”She folded the paper and then stuck it in her notebook before putting it in her bag. “Thank you, girls!”“You’re welcome, Mer!” they said in unison.“Let me take you to the café then,
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD SIXTEEN: SAVED
“IF YOU don’t want to get hurt, give me your bag!” the thief whispered, making Meredith to stiffen in her position. She tightened her grip on her bag because it contained the money she had saved for a month to pay off some of her father’s debt. Their boss gives them tips for their hard work at the café, that’s why they are all blessed so she had saved a lot somehow. The fog that night was cold, but she was sweating because of the danger she was facing right now.“P-please, have mercy on me. I have a lot of debt to pay,” she pleaded. The grace period given to them is next week. What to do?“I’m sorry, Miss, but I owe a lot as well, so don’t talk too much. Will you hand over your bag or I will bury my knife in your waist?”No way! She needed to flee. Until she had no choice but to step on his foot with all her strength to force him to release her. She immediately ran but he caught her hair. She couldn’t do anything but closed her eyes to the possible consequences when the thief suddenly
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
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD EIGHTEEN: PRETENTIOUS
“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
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD NINETEEN: ENTRUSTED
“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

They need to prove to Don Warrick that they are dating, but first Don Warrick summons them to his mansion.“Good morning, Granpa!” Randall greeted as he hugged his Abuelo.”Meredith took his hand and placed it on her forehead as a sign of Filipino respect. “Good day, Sir!”“Good morning!” Don Warrick greeted them back.“First and foremost, I would like to introduce Atty. Edaño, my personal lawyer. I entrusted him to discuss with you our agreement.”The lawyer handed them some papers. “This is the marriage settlement agreement. Please! Do have a look.”The two of them exchanged glances and carefully read the contract, which Randall immediately signed. Meredith gave him a glance as she handed the contract to the lawyer. There is no turning back because they have already paid Mr. Hakim’s debt, so she no longer has the right to refuse.“It says you promise to marry a week afte
