~~~
"Leave the Alpha Tech team alone."
I told my aunt with a straight face. In fact, I even made sure to make my voice as flat as I could. So that it would look like I was devoid of emotion when I told her those words; I wanted to make it clear to her that I did not came here to fool around. I am hell bent serious. On the contrary, instead of taking me seriously, all I get from her was an eye roll.
"In return of giving up the managerial power you have over the Nordstorme Corp, you want me to let you play the hero for the team that deceived you?"
Aunt Mathilde answered me back with an overflowing sarcasm on the tone of her voice. So obvious that she almost made it so hard for me to pretend like I noticed nothing. However, I knew that letting my emotion to take over my action, would be a bad idea. It would surely do me no good. That was why, using all th

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"That would be when I did not know about your illness."Aunt Mathilde told me with a smug smile pasted on her face. Meanwhile, it took all my self-restraint not to lose my cool at that moment; but in my head, I was already pulling out her hair."You are in no condition to carry out your duties."She added as though she was not satisfied yet upon seeing my reaction."But that would not changed the fact that I earned a lot of money for this company"I replied to her in a matter of fact tone. However, despite of my quick response, the other party was still able to come up with something to refute me."But what do you think the world would think about your illness once they learned about it?"She asked me and without even waiting for my answer, she continued speaking."I am sure it would cause

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"Do you think you could still keep your position like this?"There was this unmistakable smugness on Aunt Mathilde's face when she asked me back that question and so right here and there, I understood that talking her out of her initial plan would not be easy. Left with no choice, I could only forgo the last of my remaining pride; I bowed my head and with a subservient attitude, I pleaded."Please...."I could not help but trailed off when I said the word. It sounded so strange for me. At the same time, I felt like it has a weird roll on my tongue. But I know well enough that this was the only chance I got and at this point, I am running out of option. I just hoped that the fact that I am willing to go the extent of being submissive like this would be enough to cause my aunt to have a sudden change of heart

SHANTAL's P o V~~~Internally I was screaming my lungs out, but outside, I tried to maintain a straight face as much as possible. That was despite the fact that my blood was already boiling and I was nearly reaching the limit of my patience and I am not sure how much longer I could keep this going."Anyway, what do you think aboutvoluntarily resigning from your position?"Out of blue, I heard Aunt Mathilde opened up a suggestion for me with the audacity of wearing a kind smile on top of it as if I did not know her real intention better. However, this time, I decided that I would no longer tolerate any of her poor acting. I rose to my feet, almost knocking the chair behind me then without looking back at her, I left.The moment I stepped out of her office, I knew that I already screwed up my one and only chance. But there was nothing I could do anymore but to just let out an exasperated sigh.
Boyfriend for Sale Do it, `coz why not?
"Please do me this favor."I heard the drawl on her statement as Shantal said those words. It must have been really that hard for the other party to swallow her pride and utter those belittling words. At the same time, I never knew that my day could still get better until I heard Shantal said the magic word. The all high and might sole heiress of Nordstorme Corp. came begging at my doorstep; asking for favor. Who would have thought that a day would come when I could be able to make this untouchable niece if mine to talk to me almost in bended knees, without me even actively trying to make a move. If truth would be told, it was actually my daughter who did all the hard work here. I was just simply trying to maximize its benefits and make the most out of the fiasco she started."I suggest you just let go of this matter."The answer that I gave her first may be vague but I believed that was all that she has to hear for her to understand what

As soon as Shantal was away, Mathilde did not dare waste another second of her time and she dialed someone's number without delay. Someone answered the phone call right after its first ring and the moment Mathilde heard the sound of someone picking up the line, she no longer waited for the other party to say a word."Hello. I just called to check how was my tip progressing on your end."She said flatly as she walked back inside her office. Meanwhile, contrary to Mathilde's nonchalant if not emotionless approach, the person on the other end of the line, on the other hand sounded quite enthusiastic when he answered."I just got the article via email today."The mystery man answered and he almost sounded like he was speaking with a lisp when he said his reply. His inflection was quite weird as well, and in lay man's terms voice, it could be said that he seemed to own a gay voice. This guy who owned a vocal cadence which was relatively a pitch higher than the

JODI's P o V~~~~Shantal and I were still a young bud when her parents died. At that time, the older members of our family reckoned that it would be best if they would let us out from the secret behind this death. But in spite of their effort to keep the truth from us, we were still able to catch wind of the news in the form of our childhood friend, Zoren.Zoren was a son of a family friend and from himself, we learned that the car accident was premeditated by his parents. Back then, we thought that Zoren was just bluffing until we stopped hearing from him one day. Then the next news we heard about him was that he took his own life out of guilt for the treason that his parents had done. Since then, I felt like there was a missing puzzle inside me but I could not put a finger what exactly it was that I felt I am lacking. I

Mathilde had just started making the call when Jodi arrived at the office."Hello. I just called to check how was my tip progressing on your end."Jodi heard her mom said over the phone and the instant she heard the other party said that, her instinct ticked her right away that her mom was up to no good. That was despite the fact that she could not hear much from the conversation because it was more of the other person on the other end of the line that was speaking and from where she was standing the feedback of the phone's speaker was not that much of a use to her. She could only make a word or two at most out from its incoherent sound. It was also at this time that she realized how her mom was unaware of her presence and she let it stayed that way. She did not do anything to make her existence known to her mother and instead, she chose to stay silent; listening to the conversation, hoping she could eavesdrop. Meanwhile,

"Then let me go."Jodi said flatly and this time, it was Mathilde's turn to be taken aback by Jodi's sudden response. For her, it was too unexpected and was so unlike her daughter. So with a confused expression written all over her face, she asked her back,"Huh? What are you saying?"Mathilde could not help but knit her eyebrows together because based from what she could observe from Jodi's behavior lately, the other party was acting weird and was saying all sort of strange things. This in return was somewhat perplexing for her and she could not help but find it alarming at the same time. Meanwhile, Jodi took a while before making everything clear. She took in a large mouthful of air first, and tried to inhaled as much as her two lungs could possibly accommodate before exhaling it loudly afterward. Then it was only after that did she started explaining, but not before letting out one la

"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.

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

In there, Jodi found a list of shares under her name as well as a soft copy of memorandum of renunciation address to Shantal with her name on it and it was then that Jodi realized that her mom had already long planned about it ahead of the time.As it turned out, Mathilde was thinking of using her influence to oust her cousin out of the position.In addition, inside the flash drive she also found an old email account with records of bunch of emails and it took Jodi more than four hours to go through all of them.But by the time she finished reading the exchange of chats Mathilde had with her hitman, Jodi's eyes was bloodshot.It was unsure if this was cause by her prolong exposure to the screen or if it was exhaustion that was doing this thing on her body, but when she get up from her chair, Jodi balled her hands into a fist.She slammed the door shut behind her back as she left the office and on the screen, the last conversation

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
