Last farewell
As soon the two stared at the each other's eyes, they instantly fell into a trance. It was as if they were enchanted by the very moment they saw their reflection from one another's eyes. In their dazed state, the two almost ended up kissing. However, just as when Alex was about to descend and graze Shantal's lips with his, the girl regained her senses, and almost immediately, she avoided making any contact. In her haste, she ended up bumping her head with the other party. In the haste of her movement, her head ended up bumping with the other party's forehead and the impact pulled their senses back to reality almost instantly. At the same time, when they both recovered from the magical pull of attraction, they felt embarrassed for each of their own actions and it did not take that long before the surrounding ambiance in the room started to turn stiff. Love surely moved in a mysterious way. But due to this as well, Alex and Shantal
Busy headsAlex thought that he had already given Jodi an ample time to prepare, but to his surprise, when they arrived, the other party was still in the middle of getting things done. It was for this reason that when Alex acted surprised, it looked so convincing. He pretended like he was just as shocked as Shantal was when they saw them inside the house. But of course, he already expected to see all of them although not in such a state. He at least thought that by the time he brought Shantal back from outside, everything was already settled inside and all they were waiting for was their reappearance to finally start the party. But obviously, they failed to meet his expectation for them. But it was clear as day that Jodi and the others did not make it on time because by the time Alex and Shantal waltz in at the living room they were not close at finishing yet. On the other hand, oblivious of their arrival, the group of people went on at doing th
Chick for sale"Oh, you are here.."Jodi whispered softly but everyone was still able to hear what she said. They also noticed how the other party turned stiff the moment she uttered those words. Intrigued by what was causing it, they decided to follow the direction of Jodi's gaze in unison. However, when they finally realized who Jodi was looking at, they also met the exact same end. All of them were frozen on the spot as they saw Shantal staring back at them."We all have something to say to you""Would that be alright?""We will be moving out tomorrow. So we won't be seeing each other again. That is why I suggested that we should eat together one last time.""All of us cooked together today.""make sure to clear properly before you leave."...." Since we will never see each other again.""Right, of course.""Okay, we will certainly do that."
Why is it too easy?"Oh, you are here.."In her shock, Jodi ended up saying those words softly almost as if saying it like no different from a whisper. However, despite how small her voice was, she was still able to get the attention of everyone. Albeit she spoke softly, Harold and the rest that at the kitchen with them was still able to hear what Jodi just said. They also noticed how her body went stiff as soon as she spotted something. It was as if she was petrified. It was for this reason why the group ended up following Jodi's gaze and as soon as they did, they also become stupefied because as soon as they their looked at the same direction where Jodi's line of sight fell to, the first thing that greeted their eyes was Shantal. It was for this reason why the group ended up following Jodi's gaze The other party did not look like she was livid but her stone cold expression was still able to made them froze on the spot."We all ha
This explain whyThe moment Shantal was on her own and there was no one around, she mumbled,"Is that how easy for them to say it? Tss"She looked at her reflectionin the mirror and with pain written all over her face, she asked out loud"How can they say that so easily?!!!"It did not take that long before Shantal returned downstairs wearing a fresh set of clothes. By the time she arrived at the dining area Rico had already set the last plate of dish in the table. At this point, all that they were waiting was for Shantal to take her seat so that they could finally start having a dinner together. Likewise, everyone was already gathered around the same table. They have a complete attendance since everyone else was already gathered around the same table. However, even after Shantal took her seat, the ambience around them was still a little stiff. Apparently, the other party's arrival did
Junk ShopAlex could not for the life of him understand what was wrong with the food. Obviously, since it was made according to his liking in the first place. After all, he was the one who cooked it. It was for this reason that he did not find anything wrong with how it tasted."It is good. You should try some."He told Sam since the other party was the only person who has not eaten anything yet."I don't eat meat."Sam said but as soon as she said that, Harold asked her."Since when?""Yes, since when?"Michael seemed to be as confused as Harold was so he also ended up asking Sam the same question."You two are annoying."Anyone could tell that Sam was lying when she said that she no longer ate meat products. But apparently, Harold and Michael were not quick enough to notice it. It was clear for all eyes to see that she did not want to suffer the same plight as her colleagues. Howev
The secret behind the late chairpersonToday was supposed to be a big day not only for Mathilde Angeles but also for Mr. Takashi and Mr. Yakamura. This was supposed to mark the start of their success. First, they would take over the Nordstorme Corp, then from there, they would make their way to the business of creating the strongest military forces. After all, with the kind of technology they have in their possession, they could make anything possible.As it turned out, Nordstorme Corp had long wanted to venture into the field of artificial intelligence. In fact, it was the late director's vision to invest on robotics. Mr. Takashi was with Christopher Nordstorme back at the time when the other party discussed about investing with the Alpha Tech. However, in his own opinion, he found it to be such a waste for that kind of advanced technology to be used at creating life size toys. It was Mr. Takashi's vision to make a profit out of it by cr
You'll not get the satisfactionShantal took her time watching Mr. Yakamura's departing figure. She also realized that something about the other party irked her whenever she saw him. Little did she know that it was because the same man was basically the mastermind who killed her parents. Only when the man was out of sight did she turn her attention back at the drama that was unfolding. Apparently, Mathilde refused to leave her seat and was adamant about resisting arrest and as the time passed by, they slowly realized that the woman was so good at playing by the book that even though she was acting deviant at that same moment, she still also did not physically show any sign of resistance when she was asked by the authority to come with them. However, it was also clear for all eyes to see that Mathilde was certainly trying to take her time to move away from her chair. It was as if she was determined to take as much of their time and waste it by stalling. However, not ever
You are what surrounds youMr. Takashi was no different from Mr. Yakamura's lackey and so when the other party left the conference room with his men, the former also followed them like a dog with its tail hiding in between the legs. On the flip side, as soon as Mr. Yakamura stepped into his lodging, his expression turned livid. Only when he was already away from the public eye did he allow his real monster to show. Yanking his tie away and throwing the rest of his suit onto the bed as aggressively as he could, the old man cursed out loud."Damn it!"Everyone flinched the moment Mr. Yakamura's angry voice reverberated within the four corners of the room. Then before anyone could even recover from his sudden outburst, Mr. Yakamura he turned to Mr. Takashi while still glowering because of what happened at the board meeting"The police have gotten involved. I need to leave the country immediately. Those things that we disc
"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
