~~~~
I did not dare make my boss wait and I headed straight to her place as soon as I could. But when I got there, it was only then that it crossed my mind how I was supposed to bring a present with me.
'For goodness' sake, Adelaine! Just what kind of lame secretary are you to forget about bringing something for your boss who just got out of the hospital?! A bouquet of flowers will do. GEEZ! Even a newbie can do better than that.'
I berated myself as I stood before the wooden double door at the entrance, that was more or less twice my size.
"Come what may.."
I muttered under my breath as I inhaled a mouthful of air and exhaled it afterwards as loudly as I possibly can, in hopes to borrow courage in the air.
'I don't think Ms. Nordstorme is a shal

ADELAINE SMITH's P o V~~~~Ms. Nodstorme was seated on her bed and was already waiting for me when I arrived and as soon as I opened the door for myself so I could be able to go inside the room, she greeted me with her sharp gaze. I did not dare held her gaze and the instant our eyes met each other, I quickly averted her gaze. This kind of scenario was not the first time that it happened to me and so I am no longer new to this. At this point, I was able to avoid making eye contact with my boss without my action being too obvious."Good morning, Ms. Nordstrorm."I greeted her with a bow, all the while keeping my eyes glued to the floor. But in my head, I was wondering what was that ominous gaze for. Was it because I did not have anything with me?For some reason, I could sense that my boss was not in the right mood. I noticed that the other party looked

"Congratulation on your discharge. Everyone at the office was looking forward to seeing you back at practice when you are ready."Ms. Smith wanted to say something to break the ice but as expected to someone who was never into exchanging perfunctory words, Shantal did not bother beating around the bush and dismissed the other party's comment right away."Oh come on, we both know that is not necessarily the case. Everyone in the office hates me. In fact, it won't come as a surprise for me if they were delighted by the news of me falling sick, and most likely than not, they probably even prayed for me not to recover right away so that I won't be able to return on my post anytime soon. Besides, there is nothing to congratulate me for, really. It is not like being in and out of the hospital is an achievement that is worthy of celebration."Then right after she dissed her sec

SHANTAL's P o V ~~~ My eyes could not help but go heavenward right after I had read the letter that Jodi had sent me. 'What a two face little cunt' I thought to myself as I crumbled the paper with my hand and threw it on the floor. I noticed how my secretary flinched when I acted out but she was able to reduce it to the bare minimum, enough for me to almost not notice it, if only I was not exactly paying attention on how she was going to react. "I brought you a written statement from everyone who was involved with the fraudulence committed by the Tech team responsible to Android Partner's creation." I heard her say as she carefully put another folder in front of me. I flipped through its pages without giving it much o

Ms. Adelaine's Smith P o V ~~~ During the time that Ms. Nordstorme was away from work, it was Ms. Angeles, her cousin, who was keeping tabs on my progress at the office. It allowed us to have more time to work together and eventually we grew quite close. The other party was easy to hang out with, unlike my boss. She was amicable, approachable, cordial, and the list goes on, as long as it was a quality that was a complete opposite of her cousin's. It was for that reason why we were able to become more like a friend than a boss and assistant relationship. Something that I did not find to be an issue since I was not exactly under her management to begin with. It just so happen that her cousin was out and I was the other party's secretary. As such, we ended up working together. I gave Ms. Angeles a call right after receiving the summon from my boss and so she came to see

ADELAINE SMITH's P o V ~~~ "And what does it have to with Ironscapes?" She asked me with an upturned eyebrow after giving the report a look. I already told my lady boss to read the report by herself but she seemed eager to get the answer straight from me. So I guess I was left with no choice but to spill the beans to her one at a time. "The head of the developer's team signed an agreement with the CEO of Ironscrapes in exchange for her silence." I started and she furrowed her brows together upon hearing my answer. "Silence? Silence for what? What is this agreement for and what does anything of this has to do with me, to begin with?!!" The more she asked her questions, I noticed that the more anxious she gets as well. "They also agreed to hand over a sample

"I told you already, I am not in the mood to eat. I am still full."I told Harold in protest as he was literally dragging me to join him in for lunch."How can you be full when the last time you have eaten was like yesteday?!!"He refuted my words and Sam seconded him."Harold has a point, sit down.""But I really am not hungry."I argued, yet everyone seemed determine to turn a deaf ear on my complaint. Michael even went on to shove foods on my plate as if they could not hear a thing from what I am saying."Rico cooked for all of us. So you should at least eat a spoonful to show appreciation to his effort."Harold rebutted before he started digging in."Don't worry, it is really tasty. I bet you will finish it all."Rico insinuated when he noticed that I am still reluctant to

HAROLD's P o VI noticed that Alex only took a spoonful of one of the random dishes served before him and after that, he no longer took another bite. Instead, he was only staring blankly at the foods, so I asked him,"Are the foods not in your liking?"The others pretended like they could not hear my conversation with Alex and they just continued eating. But I am pretty sure that their ears were listening and watching us closely. We were in the middle of enjoying our meal when all of a sudden Alex, straightened his back from his seat and have this look in his face as though he was put in a trance. It was as if some sort of enlightenment struck him out of nowhere and our eyes were all on him as we waited for what the other party was about to do next. To our surprise, he suddenly rose to his feet, knocking the chair behind him on his wake and he headed straight to the cupboard a

ALEX' s P o VWe were gathered around the table when Jodi suddenly arrived."Does she want to see me?"I asked Jodi out of the blue; hoping against all odds that Shantal's joy for finding out that the 'Alex' she used to love is a human all along would outweigh the feeling of betrayal. But to my dismay, the other party's face only flashed me a dreadful smile before replying,"From what I heard from Adelaine, Shantal was thinking of filing a lawsuit against Harold's team and that includes you, Alex. In fact, she made it clear that you are to be sued for pretending as a robot."Jodi said with grim written on her face but I only simpered a smile when I heard her answer, because honestlyspeaking, I was not surprised by how things turned out."That was to be expected."I w

"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."

"I am right here. Respect my existence."Michael insinuated afterward before he sarcastically added,"Do you guys want be to get you a room instead?""I should not have fallen asleep that night."He muttered to himself as he recalled the night Jodi asked Rico out for a date. 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! I told her she would be pretty."

"That robot was sometimes human and sometimes a robot for me and that was why others who can't understand my situation mistakes me as someone who hallucinates and believe a robot as a human just because I am treating it just like one. But for my opinion, my situation was no different from those who loves their pets so much, they even considered them as their child and called themselves as furparents.""My emotions were input into that robot and that person. That is how this miracle happened. That fact completely changed the way I view things. This will be yet another scoop for the reporters present. Nordstorme Corp will go from financing mergers and acquisitions to investing in futuristic industries that involved human sensibilities. Just like what Alpha Tec Inc pioneered years ago.""This is your first change in business strategy in 15 years. Do you have anything mapped out?"One of the reporters raised a question just like what a normal press conference should

On the flip side, just like what Shantal assumed, Mr. Takashi with Mathilde's instruction called for an emergency meeting on that afternood. Which happened to coincide to the time when Shantal will hold her press conference.Moreover, since Mathilde would not be able to make it there since she was still held in prison, her secretary presided the meeting."We shall begin the emergency board meeting."Secretary Ye declared loudly and her voice reverberated in the room. Jiro was also there along with other board members."The agenda is the dismissal of Director Shantal Nordstorme and the cause is as you were all informed. An illness."She continued while everyone was silent and anxiously prayed so they could ever this meeting once and for all. On the contrary, Mr. Takashi was nodding his head on the side and though he was anticipating for this day come.Mr. Takashi nodded his head toward Secretary Ye to signal her to start it once and for

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

Adelaine Smith's P o V~~~~While Jodi and I were driving down the road looking for any sign of the robot, I received a call and when I checked who it was, I found out that it was Amanda so I accepted the call right away."Ms. Smith, the robot just got on the bus number 707."I heard her voice telling me the moment it picked her call"Great! Thank you for the information."I replied and not long after that, she hung up on her because I reckoned that it would be best if I could relay this news to the other search parties. In this way they would also know where to start looking. Of course, the first one that I tried to call was my lady boss. However, to my dismay, I was only redirected to the voice call feature of the phone.'The number you have dialed is busy at the moment. Please try your call later or leave a message aft
