"I am totally fine with this, Besides, it is not like I am not used to being locked up. My life has been no different from this for the most part of my life,  anyway. So if there is anyone who is fine with being in the darkness and left in the cold,  that would be."

Shantal may have made herself sound nonchalant but only Alex knew that there was more meaning behind those words; hidden within them was her pain. It was for that reason why others might found the other party's words ordinary, but with  Alex's point of view, it has a different effect on him. Because he had already seen through Shantal, more than she allowed others to see her.

At the same time, Alex could not help but feel sad about hearing those words from the other party. Because even though she was smiling, the look in her eyes was saying otherwise However, before the atmosphere could even turn sullen, Alex's stomach chose the right timing to act up as if it was trying to make light of thei

    Meanwhile, the drive to the Blackwater City was quite long so Harold and Sam ended up changing seats because the latter already felt that extensive driving was already taking a toll on her. However, it has not taken that long yet since the other party took over the control of the steering wheel, but Sam could already see that Harold was not exactly in his best shape to drive."Pull over to the side."She told her out of the blue and so Harold found the need to ask for her reason why she suddenly wanted him to stop driving."Relax. I just want to get something from that convenience store."Sam replied without looking at him."Okay."Harold said and just like what Sam wanted him to do he stopped in front of a convenience store. Sam went out of their car right away without saying a word. But it also did not take that long before the other party returned. A

    Finally coming to accept the fact that they have no other choice but to wait for the dawn to arrive, Alex and Shantal made good use of their remaining energy to look for anything that could at least help make them comfortable while they were inside the dark and cold storage room. The task of checking with the boxes fell under Alex's hand and the job of making sure he has the light he needed for easy searching became Shantal's. "Let us find something to keep us warm while we wait for someone to come." Alex suggested and Shantal did not try to argue anymore. She just nodded her head and made sure that she was holding the flashlight over the other party's head, so he could see clearly in the dark. "There should be something here that we can use to cover our bodies." Shantal seconded him afterward. Meanwhile, Alex looked around the place, and his face lip up and his e

    "Stop moving, otherwise the splinter would get stuck deeper in your finger.Shantal warned without tearing hr eyes away from the other party's finger. With how serious her expression was, if only one would not know better, they would probably thought that Shantal was dealing with something at utmost important. When the truth was that she was only trying to get rid of a splinter. Meanwhile, when Alex's eyes landed at Shantal's face, he was mesmerized and before he knew it he was already starting to get drawn into watching every changes that was happening at the other party's expression But before he could even completely fell into a daze Alex already triedb to get a hold of himself and in order to clear his mind, he shook his head.Alex tried to pull his hand again. But Shantal only pulled it back from him."It will only sink deeper inside if we don't do anything about it. and trust me when I tell you that it would be

    As soon as Alex was done creating the make -shift bed out of scratch, he beckoned at Shantal right away."Climb up. That is your bed for tonight."'He even offered the other party his hand so he could help her to get up. But Shantal refused to take his hand and with confusion written on her face, she asked him."How do you supposed we can fit ourselves there? Don't you think that that bed is way too small for the two of us?"Alex did not expect to hear those words from Shantal and the thought alone of sharing the same bed with the other party was enough to make him blush."Err... I can....."Alex paused for a moment before he continued."I can exercise. I will do jumping jacks.""Are you trying to tell me right now that you are planning to do jumping jacks all night? Are you nuts????"Shantal inquired and Alex felt at a loss for words to say."Exercising is the best way to stay warm on a cold night. So

    "Is this for real???"Alex asked out loud as he still could not believe his eyes. He did not expect to find foods inside the storage room. But he was glad that they finally had something they could nibble with to pass their hunger."Well I guess our lucky."Shantal commented and deliberately made herself sound nonchalant. Althoughh deep inside she was feeling so proud of herself already as it was so rare for her to be able to do something useful. But then just as when as they were in the middle of rejoicing, Alex suddenly asked,"But don't these belong to someone? Can we really it this???"His voice sounded a little sheepish because he did not think he would feel good stealing someone else food. Regardless of how hungry he was, Alex did not think that his conscience would let him rest easy after he coveted something that was not his.&nb

    "Here.."Alex whispered softly and purposely placed the cup of raw instant noodles in between them so it would be easier for them to share the food. However, it seemed that the other party did not like to snack on something cheap because she pushed it away from and instead moved it closer to Alex."I already have my fill back at the inn, remember? Besides, judging from the sound that you made earlier, you could everything that is in here and it would still not be enough to satiate your hunger."When Alex heard Shantal's words, he laughed. But he also seconded her right away."You are right. I am definitely starving. I am so hungry that I feel like I could eat an entire horse."He claimed without feeling embarrass about sharing the thought of his gluttony. He then went to pick a noodle from the cup and sta

    'Why are you not asking me my name?"Shantal asked out of curiousity because as she could recall, the other party has not asked her name yet. When in fact, he already told her his name. But thinking that it was probably because of the fact that the guy simply had no interest on her, Shantal reckoned that it only made sense. She simpered when she thought of that. If only knew the real reason Alex never asked her name...Likewise, Alex felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head when he heard Shantal's question because it was only when the other party mentioned it did he realized how he almost put himself at risk.The good thing was that he has not tried to address Shantal yet, with her name. Because if ever he did that by mistake, it would jeopardize everything as it would be hard for him to explain himself to the other party ."I don't want to know your name."Alex said aft

    "If that is the case, then we can make a good friend!"Shantal concluded after learning that they were just the same age. But it seemed that Alex has a completely different opinion when it came down to befriending her."I don't think so."He insinuated and this inevitably hurt Shantal's feeling."Don't you want to make friends with me?"She asked Alex with a puppy eye, trying her best to act cute. However, it did not work."Do you really want to be my friend?"Being faced with her own question, all of a sudden , Shantal was not able to come up with an answer right away'Did I really wanted to make him my friend? Or am I hoping for more than just a friend.'When that thought crossed her mind, Shantal vigourously shook her head as if doing so would really

    "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!

    "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.

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.

    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

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
