2021-03-04 19:45:45"What did you order this time?"
Jodi asked as soon as Shantal was back in her seat.
"It's the limited edition Astro Sneaker that was recently released by Alpha Tech."
Shantal answered back.
Truth be told, Shantal did not exactly hate her cousin. It was just that she could hardly enjoy her company because of the constant comparison between them.
After all, who would enjoy being compared to someone?
She often gave Jodi the cold shoulder, but the other party did not seem to mind. She would always stick around regardless of how indifferent Shantal was towards her.
"You are really trying to live up with your name as the Shopaholic Queen, are you not?"
Jodi could not help but leave a comment as she watched Shantal unboxed the item.
Shantal, on the other hand only smiled back at her cousin and no longer say a word after that. She continued what she was doing and excitedly ripped the packaging apart as though a child opening a present.
When she took the pair of sneakers out of the box, she lifted it carefully right before her eyes so she could marvel it. It was a white sneaker with black stripes at the side. The design was rather plain in the eye.
Looking at its sole, and golden figure of '1' could be seen embossed to it and it stuck out within the white-color sole like a sore thumb.
Other than that, the sneaker could easily pass off as a normal shoe.
It looked normal at one glance but it was actually heavier compared to a normal sneaker because it has built-in features like it allowed its user to levitate by tapping to some sort of magnetic force.
Meanwhile, when Jodi saw the number embossed at its sole, her eyes grew wide as big as saucer plates
"You managed to snatch the Number 1?! That's amazing!"
She exclaimed with obvious amazement in her eyes. She was fully aware of how hard it was to nab Astro Sneakers, even if one had the money to buy it; not to mention the Shoe Number 1.
After all, it was not a limited edition for no reason. In fact, Jodi was actually one of the many shopping fanatics who ended up broken-hearted on the first day of the year after they failed to secure an Astro Sneaker for their own use.
"Of course, I will only take nothing but the best for me."
Shantal replied with a smirk as though buying Astro Sneaker Number 1 was an achievement that she should be proud of.
Truth be told, the feeling of outdoing Jodi in this area somehow gave her the feeling of validation. At the same time, the power of buying whatever she pleased somehow do the trick of filling the void she has inside.
It was for that same reason why she usually splurged a fortune in shopping. It helped her get her mind off the thought that she was alone. Because both of her parents died from an accident, back when she was still a kid.
"What is this for?"
Shantal asked when she spotted a catalog placed inside the box.
The catalog was of average size, although it was quite thin compared to the usual one.
Curious, she flipped through the booklet of bright colors proclaiming the great uses and amazing reviews of the products that it sells.
However, when her eyes landed on its last page, she dropped it on the floor.
"Reprobate!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Jodi asked back when she noticed that her cousin's cheek was flushed. She was just about to reach out to the book to check what was on it.
She wondered what Shantal could have possibly seen in the book for her to react that way. But before she could even lay a finger on the book, Shantal already snatched it away from her.
"Nothing."
She told Jodi as she tried to act as nonchalant as she could. But judging from how her face was turning into the shade of scarlet, Jodi already had an inkling of what was going on.
"You've seen the sexbot section, have you not?"
Jodi inquired with a playful grin pasted on her face and knowing that her cousin had already busted her, Shantal's eyes went heavenward.

That was why it was no surprise to them when Jodi turned up to be one of those who gave in to the recent fad of buying robotic boyfriend online.She named it Arvin, and since then Jodi had been very open with her romantic affair of shacking it up with tin cans."For crying out loud, Shantal.

She did not expect the lid to suddenly come alive on its own.The girl watched as a very tall man slowly stood up in a box.

Right after rebooting her robot, Shantal left it and disappeared behind one of the doors. When she came back, she was already carrying a pair of jeans and a shirt."Change to this."She threw the clothes over the robot and instructed it to clothe itself because the thing was only wearing nothing but a boxer and a white tank top.The robot on the other hand did so easily. He took the clothes from Shantal while sporting a bright smile."By the way, my name is----""You have a name??!"Before Shantal could even stop herself, she already interrupted the robot from speaking and asked him back instead. However, her question sounded stupid even on her own ears."Of course,"The robot grin when it heard her asked that question."Don't you?"He added and smiled again but his eyes almost disappeared when he smiled widely."My name is---"Shantal was just about to introduce herself but all words t

The team will pay you nicely, rest assured.""You didn't tell me that I have to pretend as a robot when you asked me to be your character model before.""I know, Alex. That is why I am asking you a favor. Please, just this once. Okay?"The other party sounded static so it was hard to ascertain whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman."How long do you think it will take before you could fix it?""A month at most but our target is within this week?"The other party replied but the tone used did not sound convincing at all and Alex heard that as well."Are you saying that I have to stay here with her for that long?

Meet 1096."Harold replied as nonchalant as he could, but he could hardly hide the proud smile breaking through his lips as he declared his very own robot that their team painstakingly created."Then what's wrong with him?

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.

"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.

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
