SHANTAL's P o V
~~~
Given my current situation, I don't think that I am still in the position to call shots on where, how or who should we get out information. Sometimes, a dire situation requires dire measures and I need all the support I could get at the moment. To begin with, I don't have the liberty to choose who will help me, like I said earlier, at this point, I can't be picky anymore. Meanwhile, I got so absorbed thinking about the betrayals and what not that I ended up being complete oblivious of my surroundings and if not for the person purposely making a sound to announce his presence, I would not have notice that he was already there. Initially, I am still quite annoyed when out of nowhere I heard someone clearing his throat behind my back. You see, I was in the middle of discovering a twist; Code Zero and my cousin Jodi happened to be the same person all along and they had me playing within

First I took mine and returned to the chair where I previously sat with. Then next was Mr. Almiro who chose to occupy the empty chair right next to my secretary. Ms. Smith also followed him closely and just like me, she reclaimed her old spot as well. This means to say that the two of them were now both seated across me. But it was Mr. Almiro who came face to face with me. We all sat in silence as no one dared to say a word. We were all assuming who will do what first. We were testing each other's reactions and waiting for someone to actually start the conversation when out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed Ms. Smith. She straightened her back and I also saw her leaning forward with her hands together above the table. I assumed that she was planning to

People would never do something in your favor unless they could get something in return from it as well. The relationship was like commensalism, one would have to benefit from the other. Both of you could tolerate the existence of one another only because the two of you were getting a benefit from each other while you guys were on it. No one should be left behind and I understand this concept very well. So even without him telling me directly what he wanted and what was his real intention for finally showing up after so many years of hiding, I could already t

Meanwhile, at the facility, Harold and his team was all gathered around their table as thought they were in a middle of their usual brainstorming session. However, instead of engaging in discussion, the group of people were actually silent and no one from them was even uttering a single word at this moment.As early as nine o 'clock Harold received an incoming call from an unregistered number. At first he was reluctant to entertain the caller but when the attempt to contact him did not cease, his curiosity finally won over him and he answered to his phone in the end. To his surprise, when he picked up the call, he heard a familiar voice. It was Jodi's. In that call, the other party gave him a heads up about her plan to meet up with Shantal as 'Code Zero' as well as their ace, Mr. Almiro. Since then, everyone from the Alpha Tech team was waiting to hear another update. The whole place was as though placed under a silent spell as each single one of them were

SAM's P o V ~~~ I woke up early in the morning to see Harold restless and walking back and forth around the lobby. He was absentmindedly crossing the room while running his hands over his face. "Hey, what's the matter?" I inquired as I approached him. Then I took a seat at the sofa and patted the empty space next to where I am as a gesture of invitation for him to sit beside me. "Jodi called me." He answered as he pulled a separate chair and sat at it. Meanwhile, I almost rolled my eyes when I heard him mention the name. "What is it this time? Besides, I wonder, why is she calling you instead her boyfriend." I insinuated to which garnered a shock reaction from the other party. Clearly, Harold have no idea of what recently happened. "Boyfriend? What are you saying." He asked me back so I pretended being shock. "Oh! You have not

RICO's P o V~~~I am usually the first one among our team who would often wake up early in the morning. But it was already quite late when I went to bed last night. So today, I naturally, ended up waking up a bit later than usual. As a matter of fact, if it was not for the sound ongoing conversation happening outside which disturbed me on my sleep, I would still be in my bed.I went to check who was making the noise. I followed the voice to see its source and it led me to the lobby and there I found out that Sam and Harold woke up earlier than I did."This better be important."I insinuated as I made my way towards the same table where they were gathered."Coffee?"Sam asked me back and so I replied with a nod. I am the one who was in charged with the kitchen most of the time; especially so when it came down to preparing our meals on

I enjoyed the fact that there were only two of as in the table, at the moment because I felt like it has been so long ago since we last shared a conversation by ourselves. We used to be partners at almost everything and even among our team, we were dubbed as the perfect tandem because more often than not our brain thinks the same way; it was as if we were at sync at everything we do.Before we knew it, an hour already passed by without me even realizing it and by the time that the hour hand of the clock stroke ten, one more head joined us. I was surprised when I saw Rico who literally looked as though he just got up from his bed. His hair was a compl

Perhaps it was my agitation taking the better half of me and giving me jitters and I blamed these jitters for doing funny things to my body.To begin with, it was never my intention to handle the news poorly. In fact, I am not usually someone who would fall into a state of chaos whenever things were not going according to how I planned it. However, this time, the moment that the phone conversation that I had with Jodi comes to an end, I instantly turned into a bundle of nerves. For some reason, I became restless to the point that I could hardly keep myself from sitting still, let alone hold my position or even stay at one spot in one minute.

"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 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 is how this miracle happened. That fact completely changed the way I view things. This will be yet another scoop for the reporters present.

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.

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
