"Nothing. I just think that it was about time for me to get back to what I am before.
I made it seemed like I don't care at all. It was not hard to make it looked like that, anyway when being nonchalant was part of your expertise. I have been indifferent at everything for the most part of my life so it would never be an issue to me to act like one.
"I don't get it. What are you trying to say?"
Alex asked me back again although I already make my intention to cut all ties with him, clear for all eyes to see. The other party just probably could not bring himself to believe what was happening. I just hoped he could find it at his heart to just accept everything as it was. This was our end game.
"Perhaps, I won't be able to forgive and forget everything. I might not be able to open my heart to anyone again anytime soon a

ALEX's P o V~~~"Perhaps, I won't be able to forgive and forget everything. I might not be able to open my heart to anyone again anytime soon and I don't want to make you wait for something that there was no guarantee to happen. So I guess, this is the end of us."I felt the pain that I never thought I would ever be capable of feeling gushed through my vein like a venom the instant I heard Shantal making it clear for all ears to hear that she no longer wanted to have anything to with me. Moreover, it was as though she was not yet convinced that those words that she just uttered was not enough to devastate me, so she added afterward."Well then, it seems to me that I can't watch the meteor showers with you either. Otherwise the memory will be emotionally unbearable for both of us. Therefore, our time together, is over. Goodbye."To top that, Shantal walked away from m

SHANTAL's P o V~~~Alex and I spent the rest of the night together with a jovial mood. There were also other couples who were like that decided to stay at the lover's park to make the most out of the meteor shower. It was only when the first ray of the sun broke at the horizon did we took it as our sign to leave. We all did. Meanwhile, I knew that I would gonna treasure this moment in my head for the next decades of my life, so before finally climbing down the mountain, I took one last look at the place. From the benches and lamp post, up from the stars in the sky and down the pale glow of the moon at the pavements, the overall ambience within the mountain that served as a lover's park spelled romance in my eyes. At the same time, on our way home, I purposely drive slower. I offered Alex and drive to his plac

AUTHOR's P o V~~~As soon as Alex went inside, he was greeted by the questioning stares of Harold, Sam and others right away. Apparently, the other party entered with all smiles; sporting a silly grinning face all the way to his room. It was for that reason why, the group of people who has been staying with him at the same place could not help but turn their heads to his direction as he walked past them. They even followed him with this quizzical look written all over their faces. It was clear for all eyes to see that they were totally weird out by the way how Alex was behaving at that time.For the benefit of the doubt, Sam and Harold eventually ended up taking the initiative to run after Alex and followed him all the way into his room while the rest, on the other hand, only followed them with their gazes. They intended to learn where the other party had been the other ni

AUTHOR's P o V~~~Time went on without them even realizing that almost a week had past already. It was as if time flew by them unnoticed. Likewise, during that same week, Alex and Shantal had been keeping contact with each other allowing them to have a mutual understanding of their emotion and in return made their relationship to blossom even further. On the contrary, Harold and the others used their time to face the setback brought by their on bad decisions in life. They had been meeting people trying to set things straight as an attempt the mess that they left on their wake as a repercussion of their action.That day, the group was scheduled to meet. Mrs. Mathilde Angeles, the incumbent chief executive officer of Ironscrapes as well as Jodi's very own stepmom. However, Jodi was not with them when they went to see the madam on her office. The girl decided against joining the appointmen
Boyfriend for Sale Lady in red
Jodi never talked about her stepmom with them, as such they have no idea that the other party looked way much younger than her actual age. When Mathilde waltz inside her office, everyone fought hard the urge to drop their jaw in amazement of her beauty.Saying that she looked stunning was an underestimation. In fact, even the word gorgeous was not enough to give justice to her beauty. Mathilde possessed the kind of beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation. Her long and jet black hair that cascaded down to her waist created a stark contrast to her bold red lips and red outfit. The sound of her high heels as she walked down the marbled floor like a next top model added a domineering air to her presence. This pair of red stiletto of hers matched with her tailored lady's suit of the same color which fitted perfectly on her body frame, accentuating her curves. It was sure as hell that a girl like her could convince anyone to pay her attention wherever s

AUTHOR's P o V~~~Meanwhile, Jodi may not come with Harold's group to finalize the agreement with her stepmom. But that did not mean that she was idling for the day either. Truth be told, she was up to something.At the moment, her eyes looked sunken as prominent dark circles covered the under of her eyes. However, that did not stop her from giving herself another doze of caffeine. She sipped her black coffee from a cheap looking paper cup that she happened to avail from a vending machine nearby; just a few yards away from where she was currently parked. After downing its content, she threw the cup at the back seat and looking closely, the first thing that would greet one's eyes would be the pile of countless paper cups that she emptied, which littered the floor of her car.Jodi did not seem to mind the trash heaping right behind her though, as her eyes never left t

AUTHOR's P o V~~~"It is nice to see you again, Mr. Almiro."Jodi said and when she failed to get a response from the other party she purposely widened her smile until her eyes were almost gone and for some reason, as soon as she did that, recognition started to dawn on Mr. Almiro's face."Is that you Jodi?'Mr. Almiro asked in disbelief as he gave the lady before him a once over. Jodi on the other hand did not confirm it directly and just said,"It has been a while."Seeing the familiar figure of a child whom he once watched growing up seemed to do the job of enthralling Mr. Almiro. The other party used to be a family driver of the Nordstorme family and in fact used to serve them together with Butler James, Butler John's late father. Mr. Almiro worked with the family until the accident but after Shantal

AUTHOR's P o V"Just like you, I also revered Uncle Christopher and if not of his untimely death, I could bet for sure that he would be a name to reckon with to this day. After all, he was a great business man during his prime."Jodi tried to build a common ground between her and Mr. Almiro by purposely saying those words. She wanted the other party to feel that they were on the same page."Not only he has been passionate about building his company, but he was also one of the few businessman who truly cares about his people. You should know that better than I do since you also used to work under his wing."Next, she tried to insinuate how the other party was indebted with her uncle; playing with his psyche and emotion. Before she revealed her goal."But tomorrow, once the deal between Ironscrapes and Nordstrorme Corp got finalized, the business that Uncle Christopher had pa

"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. Just like what Alpha Tec Inc pioneered years ago.""This is your first change in business strategy in 15 years. 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
