~~~
We just had our dinner together. Everything was still and silent. We were all well fed, thanks to the additional contribution that we were getting from Ms. Angeles lately. Sam and Harold also managed to secure a place for our relocation. Other than the mess of an agreement involving Ironscrapes, I supposed everything else went quite well.
Or so I thought....
Because just as when I was thinking about how things around us were sailing pretty smoothly, someone suddenly broke the peace.
"Did you always have blonde yet curly hair?"
Jodi asked Sam out of the blue and that question was all it took for me to foretell that their conversation was set to go awry sooner than later. It was no secret f

SAM's P o V~~~"Did you always have blonde yet curly hair?"I was caught off guard when Jodi suddenly asked me about my hair, of all the things she could ask me about. I did not expect to hear that question from her and I am not quite sure why Jodi suddenly showed interest in my hair. But nonetheless, I gave her an honest answer."Yes, it is genetic."I thought that was the end of it. But I guess, this girl was looking for a fight."Weird."I heard her said under her breath. But despite how she almost said it with a hushed voice, it was still loud enough for me to hear her. I instantly bubbled up with rage but tried to win over my emotion. The last thing that I would allow was for my emotion to cloud my rationality and let it took the better half of me. Jodi, on the other hand, must have seen the displeasure in my face so she hurriedly apologized and explaine

HAROLD's P o V~~~"I heard you used to have many boyfriends before. Why don't you have one now?"Everyone else present in the room, could see that Sam said those words to shame Jodi. But it seemed that only Jodi did not see it that way."I have a chronic disease."Jodi admitted with a sigh without any intention to deny it at all. She did not even bother to hide anything from us and added afterward,"At first, I would hold onto the guy because he shines like a star. But then when I look into my hand again, all I would see is a rock. Once I realized that what I get is not a star but rock, meaning the guy is nothing but trash, I of course would end up dumping him like a hot potato afterwards. All my relationships were like that. That was why I ended up shacking it up with one of your products. You guys should have known by now, that I also used to have a

RICO's P o V~~~I could not believe what just happened.Did I just really got myself a girlfriend???Everything happened so fast that my brain was having a hard time keeping up.FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER I FINALLY GOT TO EXPERIENCE HOW IT WAS TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP!!!Jodi and I were now at the terrace waiting for the stars to fall. A meteor shower was predicted to been in the sky tonight so I figured it would be nice to ask her outside so we could witness it together.My eyes never left her though. I was staring at her intensely because I was afraid that she will be gone the moment I looked away. I felt like I was inside a dream. Am I dreaming? Because if so, please don't wake me up yet. Let me stay like this a little longer. Meanwhile, my eyes must have bore into her so she looked at me as well. However, th

SHANTAL's P o V~~~I have waited and waited, for a very long time yet I still did not see any sign of Alex...I am not sure what brought me here in the first place and why am I waiting for that guy here; but here I am. All I know was that I dreamt about Steve warning me about regretting my life once I completely lost Alex; then the telecast about a meteor shower and then after that, I recalled the promise that I once made with Alex that we were going to see the shooting stars together. The next thing I knew, I was already inside my car, driving and fighting my way on the snow and the congested traffic. Well, in case anyone of you was wondering where I am right now, apparently, I am at the highest peak of the mountain available in my town; seemingly trying to freeze myself to death.You were probably wondering if I have gone nuts already. Well, guess what? We were on the same page!Before I knew it, I f
Boyfriend for Sale Shameful memory
ALEX's P o V~~~There was no guarantee that Shantal would show up even though we made a promise to see the meteor shower a long time ago. In fact, I doubt she would come considering the fact that if there was a man that she hated the most in Earth right now, that would be me. But even though I could not say for sure whether Shantal would be there or not, I still dragged my exhausted body all the way to the lover's park; that was such a nice place to watch the sky at night.My more rational self was no longer expecting see Shantal up in the mountain that night. Only a small part of me was still wishing to see her face even for just a glimpse. But I know that the more people I see coming on the same way, the lesser my chance to cross path with her, even if that means that she was also there. I was slowly losing hope. But when I got there, I was surprised to see her. In fact, her face was the firs

SHANTAL's P o V ~~~ "Start from the day you came to my house." I instructed Alex all the while keeping the air of indifference that surround me at the moment. I waited for him to say something is afterward. After all, this was the only chance that I would be giving him to redeem himself. Likewise, all this time, I also tried not look him at the face on purpose. I did not want my eyes to give me away; I was afraid for the longing inside me to reflect and show within my eyes. It was for that reason that I deliberately averted his gaze. But when I failed to elicit a response from him even after giving him an ample time to think about his reply, a bout of doubt and confusion ravaged me; laying waste on my person. In my head, I was thinking maybe Alex here really did not have any intention of working things out with me at all, in the firs

ALEX's P o V~~~"So that fart...."I heard her mumble then she widen her eyes so wide it could almost compete with the size of a saucer plate. She almost dropped her jaw on the floor as well; leaving her mouth to hang wide open that she has to use her hands to cover them."Exactly! I should have known it by then. No robot would have blame others for farting."Shantal blurted out all of a sudden. It was more like she was saying those words more to herself than to others. Then she turned to me and pointed a finger to my face."Does it mean that I am that stupid for believing it?"She asked me back in her state of disbelief."To be honest, I was surprised that you believed me that time."I answered and the expression that she sported on her face afterward suggested that she was having a hard time bringing herself to believe what

SHANTAL's P o V~~~~When I learned the truth about that 'fart incident' I felt so stupid more than how I already felt before when I first found out that Alex was a human and not a robot. I could not figured out how I fall for such lame thing. But then I reckoned that it would do me no good at all if I would continue to dwell on the past so I just let bygones be bygone."Now that the things have ended up this way, let us tell each other everything. Tell me, what else did you lie about?"I insinuated although I was not expecting to get more shock from the other party. However, when I saw Alex's expression, I knew right on the spot that something else was wrong."Err.. I did not lie about anything else, but...."He told me with a drawl and I was not patient enough to allow him more time to fool around so I

"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
