~~~
I was busy adding a few kindling to my fire to keep it alight when I noticed a silhouette approaching my direction. So I squinted my eyes to try and get a better look of who it was, not long after, I saw a familiar figure. It was the young miss and the next thing I knew, I was already heaving a sigh of relief. For a second, I thought it was a burglar because I recently heard news of how the housemaids were talking about those looters who were trying to take advantage of the winter.
Even from a far, I could already tell just based from her expression, that the little girl was troubled. She walked towards me while sporting a witless face and then she extended her hands towards the burning fire as if trying to absorb its warmth into her body.
Not long after that, her lips quirked a little on the side as she let out a contented sigh,
"It's warm."

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~"Will he come again tomorrow?"To be honest, when I heard Butler John asking me that question, I got mad to him. Nevertheless I knew well enough that my butler was not in any way at fault at this situation so as much as it was hard for me, I tried my best to get a hold of myself and did not allow my emotion to cloud my rationality and got the better of me. At the same time, there was no need for the other party anymore to tell me who was that 'he that will come again tomorrow’; I knew for a fact that it was Alex and no one else."Stop letting him in."I answered him right off the bat. Butler John, on the other hand, just flashed my a warm smile and refused to say anything."Is there anything you lied to me about?"I asked the other party after a short wh

BUTLER JOHN's P o V~~~Out of blue, I heard my young miss asking me,"Is there anything you lied to me about?"I was taken aback when I heard her but it was not because of her question. But instead, it was of how the way she sounded when she asked me the question. Her voice was heavy with the tone of despondency that even just by hearing her, I could already feel the pain behind it. Yet, before I could even say anything she already added,"If so, please do tell me about it all right now. I am giving you this one time chance to go clean with me."I knew for a fact that our young miss was actually not that forgiving type of person. But when she told me that, I could already tell that those words were not actually meant to be said to me. From how I see it, those were more like her unspoken thoughts."Ohh, come on! How c

Author's P o V~~~Earlier the next day, Shantal woke up with unusual excitement bubbling inside her. She went to the kitchen first thing in the morning but was greeted with nothing there. She looked around her without knowing what exactly she was looking for and for some unknown reason she felt empty inside. Her eyes kept on searching for something that she could hardly accept for herself. Not long after, she found herself reading a book at her living room, when in fact she was not fond of it in the first place. Every now and then, her eyes would dart to the direction of the door as though she was waiting for someone to open it and barged inside her house."It is not like I am waiting for him, okay?!"She said to no one in particular. It was as if she was trying to explain herself in the air."It was just that, he was so bold yesterday when he told me that he will come

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~I am not sure what came to me today, but as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, I felt relatively lighter compared than usual and even though my day had not started yet, I could already feel that I am off for a good start. It was as if someone injected me a dose of good vibe while I was past asleep and it was now pulsating in my vein and mixing with my blood and hormones."I feel that this day will end well."I thought out loud with a smile. The air around me was simply filled with positivity and the first thing I did as soon as I completed my morning routine was to visit my kitchen.I guess, I am hungry? Yeah. That must be it. I need to have my fill.As I was on the kitchen, I realized that it felt quite empty without Alex around...Oh no! What am I even thinking.By the way, what I have been meaning

ALEX's P o V ~~~ I woke up early just like any of the other days. Ever since Shantal feel better, I always made sure to wake up early than my usual schedule to allow more time for myself to prepare her food. However, just as when I was on my way to her house, I got involved to a small traffic accident; I lost my consciousness as a result of it and ended up sleeping for the most part the day but when I woke up, I was good to go. The nurse that assisted me told me that I should be thankful that all I get was a sprained ankle out from that accident. Thank Goodness After they let me out of the hospital, I went straight to Shantal's place. It might have took me longer than usual, adding the fact that I was now having a hard time moving due to my injury, but at least, I still remained true to my words about coming to see her on a daily ba

Author's P o V~~~Shantal walked away as soon as she was done telling Alex all that she wanted to say to him. But Alex ran after her."I have a lot to tell you, will you listen to me now?"He asked as soon as he caught up to her."No. Besides, what more should I listen to in this situation?"Shantal, on the other hand, asked Alex back with a scoff. Then she gave him a once over before adding,"But I must say, you really have a lot of guts. I mean, how can you even keep coming back here after all of what you have done to me? What are you, really? Do you still consider yourself as a human? Ohh.. I see.. Maybe you are that not much of a human and that is why you made a great robot?""I'm sorry."That was all Alex managed to say after hearing Shantal. He knew that the other party was in pain just

SHANTAL's P o V~~~Yes, I hated Alex more than words could say. But it was also just as painful to me as it was to him whenever I see him hurting. So before I could even hurt him more than I already did, I decided to keep my distance from him by running away, just like what I would always do. However, what I did not expect was when, this time, he ran after me. He pulled me back by my arm as soon as he caught up to stop me and in between his labored breath, he asked,"I have a lot to tell you, will you listen to me now?"But right at this point, I still don't have the open mind necessary to give him a chance to explain himself let alone put myself in a position where I could understand him with empathy. So I gave him a big 'NO' right to his face."No."Plus there was this fact as well t

ALEX's P o V~~~Shantal made it clear for all ears to hear how much she hated me and to be honest, I could not bring myself to blame her. I deserved all her hate after everything that I have done to betray her trust."But I must say, you really have a lot of guts. I mean, how can you even keep coming back here after all of what you have done to me? What are you, really? Do you still consider yourself as a human? Ohh.. I see.. Maybe you are that not much of a human and that is why you made a great robot?"She said all those things within one breath yet all I could say in return was that I am sorry because I could tell even just by looking into her eyes that she was also in pain just as I was hurting."Do you want to know what I did before you arrived? Shall I tell you?

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.

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.

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
