Chapter 37

• MEREDITH:
• His words kept replaying in my head. “Are you in or not?” I mean, I was already entangled with him. What was the relevance of opting out now? I wanted this charade to stop, so I could focus. I have seen scenarios like this on TV. If it got worse, I might be unable to clarify. However, there was absolutely no harm in playing along until Steele was acquired. Look at the bright side. He has promised to make me a permanent staff if this was successful. Not too bad.
• I regarded him in silence, encouraging myself that I was doing the right thing. I don't know why he was persistent about this project. I could see it meant so much to him, and I wanted to be part of that success story. I wanted to tease him sometime in the future about how I helped him acquire the club.
