He angrily shot her a look so that she understands the matter. They both heard that this money is not white money but someone's stolen money at last and bribe money as second last.
She got what he was saying and decided to talk a little more so that he got what she was saying.
"Okay see, these are not someone's hard work treasure, otherwise I would be the first one to find the owner at once. These are black money and we are orphans who live in orphanages. So technically if we use this money for our betterment it will convert into White money."
"Serene don't try to play with words. I am not falling for it. We can't use money which is not ours. We should only depend on our own hard work, not on stealing."
"Hey! That's not right. I am not stealing it. It was thrown away by someone and I just took it because I am in need.
And even if I throw it away, someone else will take it. And what if that someone is a bad guy and uses it for his bad needs like drugs or anything?
I am not bad at the least you know that.
Moreover even if we take this money it will never be noticed by anyone and we will be able get the hell out of that orphanage for the better future."
"Ohh come on pretty please let me take it. If you take another minute those bad guys might come to find the other one."
Serene almost begged him to let her do it.
After a few seconds "Fine, take it. But where will you hide it?"
"In sewage" Serene smugly replied
"What?"
***
After hiding the stack of money in dry sewage near the orphanage both came out of the dark alley behind the dorm.
"What do you plan to do with it? You can't hide this thing for long." Harry asked in a worry tone.
Serene knows that too. It's quite evident with their situation that they can't spend money on them because it will be noticeable moreover everything which they own, their orphanage own too, because of guardianship.
All in all they can spend money on food at best when no one notices it. But it won't change their present at all as what Serene wanted.
"I know. I only need 3 month max." She already made a draft of her plan in her head and just needs a little more time and it will be executed.
He frowned evidently "What are you planning to do?"
She started walking backwards while facing him and shrug "Nothing much just want to open my bank account"
"How will you do that? We don't have documents" It was quite obvious with his exclamation that he was surprised by her plan.
Opening a bank account needs guardianship plus their documents and they don't even have any single document in their hand. All are in Warden's hand. And he can bet that the warden will never give her, her documents. Ever.
She smiled mischievously and said "No... You don't have the documents but I do."
"Huh!!" What does she mean? But her eyes are telling the truth but "How?"
She shrugged again and started walking normally side by side "Well I stole it back from dean 8 months before."
8 months before Dean punished her to mop the whole orphanage alone to satisfy his daughter's anger.
When she was mopping the dean's office she mistakenly dropped some files from the shelf, causing scattered pages all over the floor. She saw some documents related to the registration form of orphanage kids and some identification cards.
In a mid of there was a black folder especially closed with medium large red seal. But the seal was opened already and something was written on it, 'Take care'.
When she checked inside it with pure curiosity, then only she found that her documents and identification card are all in here, just her's.
She noticed that there were lots of details written about her on a page. Initially she didn't want to take it back with her but when she thought Dean wanted to throw it away by words like 'take care' she decided to take it with her.
She never knew it will be useful in future. Moreover she was not sure about the meaning of those words but her gut feeling told her that it was not something good at the least.
"And he didn't know about it yet?" How can his dean actually be this careless and never know that one of his child's information is missing?
Especially every six months the details of kids get checked by the major donors to know who they are donating for. He didn't hear any news of missing data in these months. So how?
"Of course he knows but as you know he doesn't give a shit about me. So when I asked him last month he shoved me off saying that 'A bastard like me doesn't deserve his protection so my documents also don't deserve to be with him and he threw it away'" She mimicked his dean's way of talking to lighten the mood.
"That scumbag" He knows that their dean is nothing but an asshole for them but still... This much hateness for her, why?
Serene grabbed his palm gently "Okay leave that part for now, because I am actually glad he doesn't care about me otherwise it would have been hard to get out of this hell for me."
That's true. He changed the subject "So you gonna put all this money in your account next month?"
"Of course not." She immediately replied. She never thought of saving the money at first. What she wants right away is to invest... She had her plans but insecurities too. That's why she won't tell Harry now, she doesn't want him to worry.
She continued "I'll keep one third of it at once then put little by little of it in the bank so that no suspicion will gain." That's also one part of her plan.
He knew she didn't finish her plan and asked again "And then?"
She smiled mysteriously "How do you know that there's something more?"
He patted her hair gently and replied "Well I am sure that you are not going to be satisfied by this only."
"Well you are right. What I will do is something I won't tell you now but after my 8th grade end I will change everything." This time she smiled sweetly.
"Good you should."
"Hmm let's go from here first. I have lots of things to do." Serene pulled him towards their dorm.
"Like?" He squinted his eyes in doubt. They just got money, are they going to spend money right away?
"Patients my brother patients." She patted his head in a naughty manner.
He slapped her back head lightly and pushed her away.
"Oww Meanie" With a pout
"Let's go" He put his arm around her neck and dragged her away.
