"But after a certain point, I started to feel sorry about you. I was dumbfounded by everything you said at first. But then eventually, as I continue to hear them, literally everything that was coming out from your mouth, your stories, they all suddenly started to sound sad."
It would be a lie to say that I did not feel a tingle when I heard Alex confessed that. But at the same time, I would not allow that to show on my face, so I kept a blank expression.
"So the more I spent time with you, the more I got to know you. I keep feeling sad. So...."
"So???"
I drawled when Alex trailed off.
"So I started to wish for your happiness."
He said while looking back at me, straight in the eye; to which I replied,
"So?"
However, this time, I only said that without even thinking. I just did not want Alex to think that I w

ALEX's P o V~~~~"Come next to me."Shantal said and so I did. Her casual invitation, however, send my entire body shivering but in a good way. It was one thing that we were currently in the middle of the winter season, not to mention that it was night time and that we were at the highest point of the mountain as well. To begin with, the night draft was already blowing cold air onto our faces, giving the skin on our cheeks a sensation close to that of a frost bite; so I was also shaking. My hands were shaking so hard beyond my control that I had to put them inside my pockets just to keep them hidden from Shantal's sight. But at this point, I could not exactly point out if the reason why I am shaking like a leaf was because I am feeling cold at the moment or if it was the excitement bubbling inside me that was making me shook.

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"My heart fluttered every morning that I saw you sleeping. When you told me that I was your treasure and asked me to stay with you forever, it kind of felt as if you were proposing to me and when you cut yourself just so you could protect me, it was like you were a knight."Alex was running out of breath as soon as he was done talking as a result of saying all those words in one breath. Likewise, before I could even stopped myself from smiling, the corner of my lips already quirked up a little."What else?"I insinuated for him to continue, while at the same time, fighting back my smile."Each time you stroke my head, I would also feel happy and excited. It was like there was this tingling sensation whenever you touch."I heard he added and while I was shaking my head with a hint of laughter at my face, he asked me back."Guess what?"

ALEX's P o V~~~"How pretty."Shantal said with amusement on her eyes."Indeed. What a beautiful view."I said to second her although we were not talking about the same thing. My eyes never left her face the whole time. Shantal was my one and only view. A maiden, who in my eyes looked so picturesque you could easily mistake her for a fairy that stepped straight out from a beautiful painting. The only girl I knew that could past off as the goddess of the moon, who descended on Earth just because she felt like gracing us with her ethereal presence. In fact, I would believe her without a doubt in my mind if she would go claiming she was an angel in disguise."When Harold called me that day and told me that 1096 was finally fix and I can go home and end my pretense, I felt so much relieved. But then when I realized that I

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"Was it very hard to be my robot?"Alex told me a lot of thing but at this moment, all I wanted to know was of how much of a burden did I became to him back when he was still staying with me."It was bearable because I like the part where I was able to see you every day. I loved it as well, every time that you would look at me with affection on your eyes."He answered with a beautiful smile pasted on his face. In my opinion, his words sounded too good to be true. But at this point, I found myself believing him. Besides, his sincerity was hard to deny when I could see by my own eyes how his face lit up as he was talking about his experience. However, its glow was only short lived because it was gone as soon as it appeared and not long after that, gloom started to cloud his feature. At first, I was perplexed for this sudden change of expression. But then I realized that the oth

ALEX's P o V~~~"I should have told you the truth then. I am really sorry. But I am right here, now. What I really wanted to say to you, I will say now."I declared with as much zeal on my voice that I could project because I wanted to make sure that I could draw Shantal's attention towards my answer. Shantal had been silently listening all throughout my story after I told her about my point of view. When I looked at her direction to check how she was doing, I saw on her expression that her head seemed to be preoccupied with something. Shantal was deep in thought and so I kept my silence afterward out of fear of disturbing her while she was in the middle of her own line of thoughts. But while I was staring, at her, she suddenly turned her heads to where I am and we she ended up catching me looking at her. I did not pull away though and hold my gaze and she did

SHANTAL's P o V~~~I have no idea what came to me and why my body suddenly leaned towards Alex. All I knew was that we were looking at each other's eyes and then the next thing I knew, I was already trying to make a move on him. I noticed how his eyes grew wide in disbelief as our faces drew near at each other. Little did he know that I was just as startled as him. I would not be surprise if Alex was taken aback because of my bold action. But what I did expect was when he give in completely and did nothing to stop me at all; rather, he just closed his eyes and waited for me to kiss him. However, as soon as I got a hold of myself, I stopped and pulled away from him. I am not sure if I should apologize or not for what I did, but in the end, I just chose to keep my silence altogether. I guess I would just stick to my old rule 'Less t

SHANTAL's P o V~~~"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

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. Nordstorme Corp will go from financing mergers and acquisitions to investing in futuristic industries that involved human sensibilities.

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.

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
