~~~
"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

The picture of that woman in red was still clear at Mr. Almiro's head as if he had only seen her yesterday. Everything that transpired that night at the hospital as well as the details of their conversation became a vivid memory to him. It was crystal clear not because he wanted to remember them, rather, this became his recurring nightmare that haunted him up to these days. In fact, the woman's bold red lipstick and her pair of red stiletto that she was wearing night caused Mr. Almiro to develop an irrational fear and aversion towards anything that was color red in general. He became erythrophobic because of Mrs. Angeles.After hearing the story straight from Mr. Almiro's mouth, Jodi felt weak and nauseous. All this time, she had been living with a murderer!""Did my mom----"Jodi paused and quickly changed the way she addressed her stepmom."Did Mrs. Angeles really say that t

ALEX's P o V~~~"When will you going to come then?"Shantal asked me with a pout and as soon as I saw her making that face, I melted. It took every ounce of my self control not to give in at her cuteness. In an attempt to keep my sanity and not to lose myself at her, I bit the lower part of my lip. I started to unbuckle the seatbelt while she was still looking on the other way."I will call you after I take a nap."I told Shantal the moment I found my voice. Then with a wink, I opened the door and prepared to live. But just as when I was about to go, I heard her mutter under her breath."What a pity."I pretended like I did not hear her. But then she suddenly stopped me on the middle of my track again by asking."Do you want to start working at my place again?"I d

HAROLD's P o V~~~We have no idea what happened at Alex last night but I could bet my wrist that something really good must have happened to him if he was behaving that way. Why would I think so, you asked? Well, apparently, as soon as the person in question walked in and appeared right before our doorstep, the first thing that greeted our eyes was his big smile. Not only that, Alex also seemed to be too caught up on his own merry world that he did not even noticed us gawking at him, in the first place. He just waltz in without greeting us and headed to his room unbothered with the questioning stares being thrown at his direction. Curious, I followed my good friend all the way to his room and when I looked at my colleagues to check who was in with me, I saw Sam sporting the same expression as mine.I nodded my head and gestured to her to come after me and Sam followed with

SAM's P o V~~~~I felt like my mundane life the past few months turned into quite a whirlwind experience to me and I could not help but think that there was way too much events that was happening around me recently; way too many that my mind was starting to lag behind. I must admit that I was having a hard time keeping to the most recent events because I already have so much unresolved issue in my head and instead of them getting a resolution, they only just kept on filing up. Last night was no exemption. Well, I just witnessed how a girl of almost the same age of mine was able to easily rope a guy to her charm, not to mention it was no other ordinary guy. It turned out, it was an old acquaintance of mine, Rico. Rico and I were colleagues and we have been working together for so long that I could no longer even remember when was the first time we met. However, I never thought he could be that ea

MIKE's P o V~~~I could already see myself eating dog food in the future and my guess was that before all of this could even come to its end, I would be the only single person in this group. I mean, just the other week, I have witnessed with my own two eyes how Rico got himself a girlfriend. In fact, to my utter astonishment, it was even the girl who asked him out. Jodi asked Rico if he was willing to date her and of course the other party no longer wasted time and agreed without delay. After all, who would not? If it was the girl who was making the first move on the guy, even I would do the same.By the way, me and my colleague arranged a meeting with the CEO of Ironscapes in regards to her condition. I thought Jodi would come with us since it was her step mom, but she bailed at the

SAM's P o V~~~~"Mrs. Angeles is currently attending a board meeting at the floor next above us. But she instructed me to bring you to her office right away. In the mean time, you could wait here until she arrived."We saw to it to arrive earlier than expected from us, just so that we could be sure that we would not end up getting late on the meeting. It was for that reason that when the secretary informed us late that her boss would not be able to come on time, we were all unhappy. After all, our team were already assembled early in the morning waiting at Mrs. Angeles office. Yet in the end, we ended up waiting for almost the entire day. The CEO of Ironscrapes sure knew how to make people wait."May we know how long should we wait for her?"Out of nowhere, I heard a

HAROLD's P o V~~~~Our group was plunged into a deafening silence the moment the secretary left us at the office. It lasted for quite a while, and in fact, I think it took us almost about half a day without speaking. That was why, as soon as someone started making their way to our direction, we were able to pick up the sound of its footsteps.Click, Clack, click, clack.......It was the sound made by the heels as they connected on the floor, one after another. Then it did not take that long before we saw shadow standing just right before the door step. The door of the office has a small opening at its bottom and that was what allowed us to see the shadow. The shadow stood outside the office, exactly just right at the other side of door unmoved. I am not sure how I was able to tell it, but I just knew in my head that

"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
