Alex but not Alex

2024-10-29 19:42:56Despite of the collective discouragement he received from his peers, Alex still went on with his plan of going to Shantal's place and bringing the girl some homemade foods for lunch.
Only when he already got there and was standing right before the massive gate did realization dawn on him about how stupid the idea really was.
"Will they let me in after what I have done to their young miss?"
Alex wondered to himself the closer he got to the gates and to answer his rhetoric, the gate opened by itself. However, knowing how it worked, there was no element of surprised that surfaced in Alex's face. Living with Shantal, under the same roof for a good amount of time made him aware that there were people manning almost every household chores around the premises of the mansion; and he reckoned that there was a high chance that whoever was the one behind the machine responsible for the gate, must have recognized his face.

ALEX's P o V At first, I was hesitant to approached the gate. Not because I am afraid of being caught but because I was already starting to lose the hope that anyone would let me in. Harold was right, this was not a good idea. The only thing I would get myself out from this was trouble. It must have been my emotion taking the better half of me. My desire to meet Shantal and see for myself that she was fine, clouded my rationality. "Will they let me in after what I have done to their young miss?" I thought out loud as I halted my steps. I was now standing right before the entrance, unsure of what to do next when all of a sudden, I heard a faint click and a mechanical sound started to register on my ears as though some sort of machinery was activated. Not long after, the gate opened itself for me. Thus al

After almost having a mini heart attack due to his unexpected encounter with Shantal's butler, Alex finally made his way to the kitchen. He knew the place by heart so there was no longer a need for him to ask anyone for help regarding the direction.Alex was busy unpacking the foods out from his bag when out of the blue, he heard that someone was approaching. Its footstep echoed in the vast and silent dining hall and when Alex lifted his gaze and turned his head to the direction where the sound was coming, he saw that it was Shantal. The other party was making her way towards the kitchen, all by herself. But at the same time, she has this unmistakable awkward gait as she walked.Alex watched Shantal silently as he remained rooted on the same spot. He could see that Shantal was struggling on her wake but at the same time, there was nothing he could do. As much as he wanted to help her, he did not think that the other party would

ALEX's P o V~~~It only goes without saying that I felt so much relieved after learning that even Shantal's most trusted confidant was unaware of my identity. Butler John granted me entry right off the bat because he saw me as 'Alex the Robot', to which in return, worked to my advantage because I was allowed to have access to Shantal's place without worrying about being branded as trespasser once I got caught by someone loitering around.Likewise, since I already knew the every nook and cranny of the house and almost memorized it by heart, I no longer required any help to get where I wanted to go. As soon as I got inside, I no longer dally and headed straight to the kitchen so I could start unpacking the foods which I happened to bring with me.I took my leisure steps towards the dining hall. At the same time, I also linger

My legs kept wobbling under my weight but it did little to stop me from going wherever I wanted. Yeah, don't even get me started... I know this is kind of nonsense but I felt like some kind of sorcery had befallen me which made my drive to go to the dining hall this strong. Out of nowhere, I suddenly started to feel like I have to go to my kitchen; perhaps to get myself... uhmmm.... some glass of water? I guess... Well, to be honest, I simply don't know anymore. I know for a fact that I can just simply order someone to bring me anything I needed. Truth be told, I was actually used to doing things that way. But this time, I want to do things by myself and I

ALEX's P o V~~~I was busy minding my own business at the kitchen when I got distracted by the sound of someone's footstep that was about to approach my location. There was high likely a chance for the other party to be Shantal, and I know it in my heart. But that did not stop me from going stiff when I confirmed that my intuition was spot on; the owner of the footsteps was indeed her.I stopped from what I was doing and dedicated my time, watching her walk with those little steps of her, one step at a time. Also, it was not that hard for me to notice the abnormality in her gait. Yet, weird enough, I still found this part of her to be adoring.'Something must really have gone wrong with my taste lately.'I thought to myself when the idea of such fondness crossed my mind. At first, Shantal was oblivious of the presence of the un

I headed straight to my french-door fridge and as soon as was standing right before it, I knocked on its door-in-door to see what was the available drink for me there.After that, I took the beverage of my liking and downed it; allowing its content to slowly soak my dried throat. While I was in the middle of drinking, I could see from the corner of my eyes that Alex was stealing glances at my direction. Albeit, he still kept his head low and seemingly busy tinkering something at the table. When I was done chugging, I wiped

ALEX's P o V ~~~ I kept my eyes glued on my own hands on purpose, because I was trying to avoid making eye contact with Shantal. But that did not mean that I am paying attention to her. I watched her on my peripheral vision as she slowly made her way towards the fridge, took something inside, and started drinking as if there was no one. The place was relatively silent to begin with and it only seemed to intensify when Shantal and I started sharing the same dining hall. My ears were even able to pick the sound of the contented sigh that escaped her lips right after she was done draining the content of a plastic bottle. I noticed that she went still after that and when I checked what she was up to, I realized that she was eyeing the food that I made.

SHANTAL's P o V~~~I could see the eagerness from Alex. His attempt to strike a good conversation with me was clear for all eyes to see. Also, from the current looks of it, it seemed to me that the foods were actually prepared by him and when that realization hit me, a plan of revenge crossed my mind.Slowly, I reached out to the trash bin lying just right next to where I am standing and as soon as I got a hold of it, I made my way towards the other party's direction. When I got to the table, I placed the trash bin on top of it and without saying a word, I picked the lunch boxes and throw the food inside the trash bin, one after another. I thought I would get a satisfaction from doing this. But to my dismay, I did not feel anything. If anything, the feeling of emptiness inside me, threatening to make myself hollow from within only intensified.&n

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?

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.

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
