A teeth chattering phone call
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56*RING! RING!!!!*
Out of the blue, Jodi's phone started ringing. Everyone around her, including her jumped on her feet when the ringtone played.
"It's Shantal."
Jodi mouthed the moment she saw the name that was registering on the caller ID.
"Hello?"
Jodi spoke sheepishly when she picked up the call. It was also put on the speaker mode so that everyone could hear what they were talking about.
"Since I am on the Black City right now, I am planning to buy some souvenirs. Do you happen to have anything particular in mind? I would buy it for you."
The other party offered.
Jodi, on the other hand, as well as Harold and the others found themselves heaving a sigh of relieve when they realized what the call was all about. For a moment, they thought that they got busted.
"I'm good."

SHANTAL's P.O.V ~~~ Alex and I headed back to the inn as soon as we were able to finally got out of that darn warehouse that apparently trapped the two of us for the entire freaking cold night; not that it did not play to my advantage. To be honest, it felt like a blessing in disguise for me. Also, the moment I was back in my room, I decided to step inside the shower right away because I could already feel all sort of grime being stuck all over me, like forever! At the same time, I was kind of scared that if I let it sit on my skin any longer and delayed washing it away as soon as I could, I might end up getting a rash all over my body. When I emerged out of my washroom again, I felt like a was a new person, not to mention a clean one. It was at this point, that I was able to observe the picturesque scenery outside that my room has to offer. My window gave me direct access to the

Meanwhile, Rico and Michael who happened to be left at the facility room to tend on a place, received a call from Shantal."Hello?"Michael picked up the call right away and then he heard Shantal asking him kindly,"Hi there. I was just calling for an update regarding a repair. Can you assist me?""Sure."His reply came shortly. But in eyes, one could already see the panic.'What should I do?'He mouthed to Rico who happened to be standing right next to him, eavesdropping to the ongoing conversation that he was having with their client."May I know how is Alex? Can he go home any time soon?"Shantal asked hopefully from the other end of the line. Meanwhile, Rico shook his head to tell Michael to say 'No', and just like that, the other party indeed answered Shan

The sun was just about to broke out in the horizon when Shantal and Alex were finally able to get out of the warehouse. As soon as they were out, they no longer wasted their time and headed back to the inn. No one was talking as they made their way to the home stay. It was as if someone casted a silent spell on them. None of them felt like breaking the silence and so they continued to refrain from saying a word and it continued like that until they arrived.When they got there, the two decided to part ways. Alex went to the kitchen to help Aunt Hersia into preparing for the business, while Shantal on the other hand, headed straight to her room. The first thing that Shantal sought as soon as she entered her room was a towel because she felt like she badly needed to take a bath. At this point, the girl could no longer hold back her disgust upon her reflection in the mirror and realizing how filthy she was."Look at this dirty dress? You deserve to get to the trashc

"What took you so long?"Shantal asked back as calmly as she could but the irritation still shows in her voice. Little did she know that her call almost gave not only Jodi a heart attack, but also everyone else that was gathered around her.Harold, Alex and Sam was in the middle of the conversation, whispering to each other about their next course of action when out of the blue, Jodi's ringtone boomed and broke silence. As a result, everyone of them, including Jodi ended up jumping on their feet.Jodi tried to fish her phone out from her pocket. But when she saw the name that was registering on the caller ID, all color got drained from her face. Harold must have seen the sudden change in the other party's reaction so he asked her."Who is it? Is there anything wrong?"There was an edge of concern in the tone of his voice when he asked Jodi that question. However, when he also learned who was the person behind the untimely call, he went pale as well

"Are you sure???"Shantal asked her cousin back. But then before the other party could even respond, she already added another question."How about Aunt Mathilde? I can't think of anything, can you recommend something?""We're fine, really. Just make sure to come back as soon as possible. There are tons of workloads waiting for you in the office."At this point Shantal smiled upon hearing her cousin's answer and so she insinuated with a smirk."Geez. You don't have to put it that way. If you miss me that badly, just say it.""Of course I do."Jodi admitted right away and the smile in Shantal lips widen."Alright. Then see you soon. Bye for now."That was all that Shantal said and without waiting for her cousin's answer, she already hung up the call.'PHEW!'Meanwhile, only when the call end

"The robot is still in the middle of major repair."Michael was at a loss of words for the next thing say. They were afraid that Shantal would going to ask further questions. But it was a good thing that the other party no longer pursued the matter. When she heard the news, she just pursed her lips for a while. But then she smiled again."The thing is I went for an out of town vacation."Shantal started talking about something that was completely irrelevant topic so the two ended up looking at each other's faces with a confused expression."I am thinking of bring a souvenir with me and giving it to you guys to show my gratitude for your effort of looking after my Alex."Shantal added, and when Rico and Michael heard her, they almost dropped their jaw. They did not expect to hear something like that from her."We are good. You don't have to bother, Ms. Nordstorme. We are only doing our j

SHANTAL's P.O.V.As soon as I was done talking with my cousin, I dialed the Alpha Tech Customer Care Hotline next. I wanted to ask for an update regarding Alex's repair. At the same time, I was also hoping to talk to the management and see if there was anything I could do to expedite the process. However, my request to speak to a supervisor was denied by the agent that happened to receive my call. Nonetheless, I am satisfied with their customer service so there was nothing I could complain about.When I heard the familiar voice of the man from the tech team, I tried my best to speak as sweetly as I can."May I know how long will it takes to get my robot back?"I waited for the other party's answer with my fingers crossed. I was well aware of the slim chance of getting a positive reply. Yet still part of me was still looking forward to hearing the contrary."We ar

"Gosh it's good."Harold said when he got to taste how refreshing the drink was. When he looked at the other two guys, he saw them gesturing to their head but he did not give them much attention."Yes.Sam repeated the same thing with a voice and face devoid of emotion."Something needs fixing."Harold told Sam afterward and so Sam fought back to urge to do and eye roll before replying flatly to him."Okay."This time, Harold noticed that Rico and Michael still keep on doing the same thing so he asked them instead,"What? Is your scalp itchy.""No."The two answered in unison. Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway. Michael, I need you to go to Casterly."

He believed that if only he was not asleep that time, then maybe Jodi would also consider dating him.On the other hand, Rico seemed to be out of it and oblivious of him."Lover."The other party mumbled to himself as he observed the tarot card in his hand.'"I did not know this will happen. I feel so lonely."Michael muttered to himself out of despondency and while he was in the middle of self pity. Someone walked into the room.They though the one arrived was some random girl who was in full glam and obviously had just gone to salon for her touch up when it decided to have some coffee."Wow!

An illness."She continued while everyone was silent and anxiously prayed so they could ever this meeting once and for all.

It was late in the evening when Jodi received a call out from nowhere. When she checked that registered on the caller ID, she was surprised to see Jiro's name.Truth be told, he was the least person he would expect to contact her. After all, the two of them never talked to each other for ages.Jiro used to be a good friend of hers as well. Just like how she and Shantal were cousins, Jiro and and Zorens were first cousins too so naturally all four of them get to know each other and as a child, they eventually became acquaintances in no time.Besides, since Zoren's parents were a family friend of the Nordstorme they often had an opportunity to hang around during their childhood.However, ever since the day Zoren committed suicide due to the incident regarding the Nordstorme controversy, Jiro also stopped communicating with them.So this made Jodi wonder what had come to Jiro to decide and phone her at this time of the night.But

"In other words, she wants me to become director and cover up all his shortcomings?"Mr. Takashi insinuated after his contemplation. He did not exactly declined the offer this time, unlike before. Although he also did not directly implied that he would do it.Nonetheless, Secretary Ye considered his response as a good sign. At least, the other party was no longer adamant at turning them down.So with the same insinuating manner, she answered him back."That would make it easier for you to do your duties once you become a director. All that was left for you now is to leave Ms. Shantal Nordstrome no other choice but to step down and abdicate the position of board directory to your hands.""Ousting her is not enough. He will just come back. We must make sure he loses the will to come back."Out of nowhere, Mr. Takashi declared with conviction and for a second, the secretary was taken aback by this.One moment, he almost drove her a

"You told Jodi about everything?"Mathilde asked her secretary as soon as the two of them were finally allowed to have some private conversation within the prison hall where she was currently detained. Panic was noticeably present on the other party's face when she raised her question. Meanwhile, the secretary remained silence yet that was all enough for Mathilde to guess her response and not long after that, her shoulders dropped on the side when the realization hit her."I guess she was bound to find out about it sooner or later."She muttered under her breath with despondent undertone.An exasperated sigh escaped Mathilde's lips afterward. But then, she suddenly tenses up when she recalled about something else.Leaning towards the other party all the while grabbing a hold to the iron bars, Mathilde looked around her warily first to make sure that no ears were on them.Only when she confirmed for the umpteenth time that no one was listenin
