Unexpected Offerings
Melissa helped Bill when he was vulnerable and when no one else came to his rescue. Bill patiently listened to what Melissa had to say. He was compassionate towards the woman when he learned from her about how the year had been a hard one for her family. They were financially unstable and as soon as Bill heard it from Melissa, he made an offer that took Melissa by surprise. So, what exactly did Bill say?
Repaying Her
Bill wanted to repay Melissa for what she had done for him and he had just come up with an idea. He conveyed to Melissa about how he could make Phillip’s day special in a way of his own. The old man wanted to get Phillip a special present but Melissa didn’t want to accept his offer in exchange for the small help she had given the old man with. But the old man didn’t budge and insisted Melissa to just say yes. What could the old man have possibly said that din’t go well with Melissa’s ethics?
Surreal
Melissa grew skeptical at this point as she realized that things were looking too good to be real. She thought to herself that why was the old man acting so kind of gesture as small. Sure, she had helped Bill but it was nothing of such measure that the old man had to come up with huge a proposal. She started to doubt the old man’s intentions and suspected if he had ulterior motives. Was it true or was she just being paranoid?
Spreading Cheer
It was natural for Melissa to have her doubts as she had met Bill for the first time in her life and they hardly knew each other for 10 minutes more or less. But Melissa would soon be surprised to know the real intentions of this old man whom she had just met at the Walmart store. It turned out that Bill had been helping out a lot of people that day and it was apparently a part of some plan. So what was the old man up to?
A Prank?
But how did a man who was struggling to pick up his own groceries helped so many people on that day? In case you haven’t guessed it by now, the scenario of Bill dropping his grocery bag was not at all accidental but a deliberate move. The whole thing was well planned and scripted beforehand. But why did Bill do it? Was it a prank? Was the old man a Vlogger or just part of a television show? Don’t go anywhere as we are only seconds away from finding out.
Decoy
As it transpired, Bill wasn’t simply playing a prank or just fooling around with people for fun. He had a purpose that would justify his doings. He was playing a part in the “Operation Santa Surprise” initiated by the North Port Police Department. Bill was an undercover decoy and they planned that anyone who would help the old man would get a gift from a policeman who stood nearby. But what surprised everyone was the gift Phillip was about to receive.
