Against better judgment
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Meanwhile, Shantal who was still inside the train was left with no choice but to wait until it arrived at the next station. But surprisingly enough, when they arrived, it just so happened that it was also the same station where the guy would take off the train.
"Geez!"
Shantal yelped as she tried to hide from the other party. But after giving it some thought, a crease appeared on her forehead.
"Wait a minute, why am I even hiding, in the first place? It was not like I did something wrong. Besides, he does not even know me."
She thought to herself, and when that realization dawned on her, a smile broke out from her lips as she found her own reaction silly. Right after that, she raised her chin and confidently made her way to the crowd.
"What am I doing?"
She muttered under her breath as she tried to question her own action because, against her better judgment, Shantal ended

"That lad should be here by now."An old lady said over to her phone just as when Alex was about to enter her house."Just let him do whatever he wants. Don't try to ask him any of your questions anymore. Okay?The voice from the other line said and this voice belonged to Jerrick; one of Alex's good friends who he happened to ask for any suggestion of a place where he could unwind and keep himself busy at the same time."Yeah, I understand what you mean."The old lady replied with a nod even though she knew well enough that the other party could not see her."Also, give him food if he says he is hungry and let him work if he insists on helping you out and do not forget t----."Before the other party could even finish what he was about to say, the old lady already cut her off."Speaking of the devil, he j
Boyfriend for Sale Words on repeat
When Alex emerged out from the inn again, Shantal was still out there waiting to see him outside. Alex threw the garbage without knowing that there were eyes following him.'We used different character models with the face, personality habits, and so on. Generally to develop our robots and create one specific individual.'A psychedelic voice sounded inside Shantal's head as she was reminded of Harold's words and as if broken record they were played on repeat inside her head.'We have a character model for each of our models.'She remembered him telling her just as when she was watching Alex went inside the inn again. She never took her eyes away from him even once and she kept them glued to the other party's departing figure.'In your robot's, case, rest assured that we hired someone appropriate as a part-time worker.

"Hey, Captain Jean. That is not fair."Auntie Hersia whined over the phone."You should be bringing me the fish you caught today. You know how my inn needs fresh ingredients every time. Besides, we have been doing this business already for ages. So why are you calling me now at the last minute to cancel it? This is so unprofessional!"At this point, Auntie Hersia's voice was starting to raise an octave higher than her normal speaking voice. This in return caught Alex's attention."Come on, please deliver them to me. How do you expect me to open my business today without your fish? It is too late now to look for another source."She insisted. After the call ended, Alex approached Auntie Hersia from behind."Is there a problem with the shipping?"The other party nodded her head and with a despondent tone she replied,"Yes."The old lady let out an exasperated sigh afterward.

As soon as Alex was done taking the crates of fish that Auntie Hersia ordered from Captain Jean, he headed back to the inn right away."I'm back!"He said as soon as he arrived, but to his surprise, another familiar face greeted him. That face was owned by the last girl he would never dare imagine meeting again; it was Shantal's! The two of them stared at each other for a good half a minute without saying anything. But it was Shantal who first broke the ice and dared to ask Alex first."You know me, don't you?"Before Shantal could even stop herself, she already asked the other party that question. Because for some reason, she got this weird feeling as if her intuition was telling her that the other party could recognize her. His eyes as well as the way he looked at her, his lips that were left agape, and also the way he was left with dumbfounded expression as soon as they lock eye contact, basically
Boyfriend for Sale The doom was nigh
As soon as Shantal headed to one of the empty spots and took a seat of her own, Alex ran inside the kitchen. Auntie Hersia saw all of it unfold before her eyes and deep inside her, she could not help but wonder what could possibly be the relationship between the two. Yet despite her curiosity killing her, she did not say a word and decided against asking any question regarding it. She reckoned that if Alex really wished to tell her how he got acquainted with the girl, he would tell her about it even without her asking. So even when Alex ran past her on his way to the kitchen, the old lady pretended like she did not see a thing and only shrugged her shoulder.However, that did not mean that she would not observe the new girl on her block. In fact, she paid more attention to her.Meanwhile, as soon as Alex felt like he was out of everyone's earshot, he immediately contacted Harold and his team. At this point, his fingers were already shaking like crazy; he

"Gosh! They really did split the sky in half."Rico commented on the side as he was reminded of the conversation that he just had with his teammates earlier that same day. Samantha indeed mentioned that if the two ever met again, then that only meant that they were destined to see each other again. It was like the faith working its way and if that happened, it would be no different from serendipity. But at the same, although they considered this possibility, in their subconscious mind, none of them think it would really happen in reality. In fact, they deemed that the chance of Alex and Shantal meeting again was very low; if not completely impossible. But of course, one should also not forget to consider that we are talking about the two main characters and if this was not all about making their romance possible, what else this should story could be all about?Meanwhile, Samantha snatched the phone from Michael's hand so she could dire

"Let us go.""Thank you for the food."The last customers said one after another before they took their leave. At this point, only Shantal was left inside the inn. All of the other tables were already emptied and cleaned."Come again soon."Alex insinuated as he waved them goodbye and escorted the last customer all the way outside. He did not necessarily have to do that but he still did just so he could delay talking to Shantal and avoid having to confront that other party as much as the opportunity could allow him.After the customers left, he continued to pretend like he was busy and tidied the tables and chairs as if they were never all good, to begin with. Shantal, on the other hand, remained true to her words. She did not dare disturb him, not even once. She neither talked to him nor did anything to distract Alex while he was in the middle of his job. She only observed him f

Alex went back and forth from mopping the floor down and going to the kitchen. He really tried to keep his mind busy. But after a prolonged time of avoiding Shantal, he finally could not take it anymore so he mustered up his courage to face her. He pulled a chair and sat right across Shantal on the table."I know that I sat across from you back in the train. But I can't help but find it strange that you followed me here."He pointed that out and Shantal was unable to refute his words. When Shantal refused to say a word, Alex continued to speak. But each time he tried to speak, the more indignant he sounded."Do you know that it is not normal for a girl to follow a man to his place of work? Let alone say when they never knew each other?!"Again, unable to find the right word to say, Shantal remained silent and only chewed on her lower lips."Based on your expression, this was not

"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!

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.

"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

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
