Outside, Mathilde was fuming but she did not let it show on her face. She kept a straight face even when she walked past her secretary. However, all it took was an eye contact for the other party to know what her boss would want her to do in its absence.
Meanwhile, in Mathilde's head she was thinking that none of what was happening at her was enough to faze her.
She was confident that they would not find something that they could use against her. After all. she remain unpunished for years for a reason.
She had long pulled the strings at the background and she would do it without second thought if the situation woulf call for it again.

"Damn it!" Mr. Yakamura lashed out as soon as he was out of public eye. The he agressively three his shirt at his bed before turning around to face Mr. Takashi. "The police have gotten involved. I need to leave the country immediately. Those things that we discussed in front of 1096, last night---" He trailed off in the middle of his sentence as though he could not bring himself to say the word. "We gonna have to delete all of 1096's data before anyone could get their hands on him again." Mr. Takashi told Mr. Yakamura while they were in the middle of a conversation and when the other party was reminded of what happened, he became more frustrated because he recalled exposing himself in front of the robot at one occasion.

'As long as I have the robot, I can start anew and build another identity somewhere else.' That was what she kept repeating to herself as she sat on her cell. She repeated it inside her head over and over again as though she was actually reciting a mantra. Meanwhile, Shantal, Alex, and the others were also at the station during that time.

Alex and Shantal looked at each other and right at that instant, they saw their own expression being reflected by one another's face. Meanwhile, without tearing her eyes away from Alex, Shantal reached out to her pocket to get her phone.She wanted to make a call and instruct someone to go and find her robot. But she eventually froze because she realized that there was no one she could turn to aside from her cousin when it came down to dealing with her Android Partner.With trembling hands, she slowly turned to Jodi for support and it was at that moment that Shantal realized how thankful she was to have her cousin's company at that time. Shantal could not for the life of her understand why she was so affected. She reckoned it was perhaps because the feeling of being helpless was not something she was familiar with.

Almost in an instant, Jodi was able to come up with a plan right away. As soon as she broke the hug with Shantal. Jodi took her own phone and started calling the Alpha Tech Team. However, this time, she chose to call her boyfriend first over Harold."Hello?"Rico picked up the call right after just a few rings but he sounded relatively distant and somewhat cold compared to his usual attitude towards her.It has not been that long yet since they started dating so Jodi wondered what went wrong because the last time she checked, their relationship was doing fine. As a matter of fact, they texted all night the other day and even went to bed with sweet messages address to each other.But even thought Jodi noticed that Rico was acting weird, she decided not to pay it heed in the meantime."We need your help. 1096 went missing."Without going in circles, Jodi

"They need our help to find the robot. 1096 was nowhere to be seen."Rico stated with distraught written all over his feature. Meanwhile, distress made its way to the group's faces the moment they learned the situation from Rico. It was not only Shantal's side who got upset after hearing the news.

Everyone was visibly perturbed because of what happened and it was clear for all eyes to see that they were all worried."1096 disappeared? That can't be."Mike muttered softly in complete denial as he could not bring himself to believe his ears. They were aware that Mathilde did something to their robot as soon as they brought it to their site.

Both groups wasted no more time and as soon as they got their assigned task, they set off right away. As discussed, Jodi's team would be driving around the neighborhood in hopes to come across the robot if ever it happened to still be lingering somewhere down the street. "I think it would be better if someone will look around on foot. I will do it." Alex suggested and at the same time, volunteered his service. Since they all went to the station using a single car, it was inevitable that with their number, the car would end up quite cramped which would result in few restrictions since they would not be able to move around freely if they would stay together on the same car. With this thought in mind, Alex reckoned that it would serve a better purpose if they would spit their team more. As such, who took the initiative to search around the same neighborhood manually.

Alex was walking ahead of Shantal and there was at least a meter of distance between them. However, it was not that the other party was leaving the lady behind on purpose. In fact, he was deliberately taking his stride leisurely so that it would allow Shantal to catch up. Well, at the same time it was also not due to the reason of the latter being slow. On the contrary, she was even following the guy with hurried steps. It just so happened that Alex has relatively longer legs compared to Shantal. As such, it was no brainer that the guy could cover more distance than the lady even if the two of them were walking at the same pace."Where do you think 1096 would possibly go?"Shantal inquired in between her labored breath. As she was having a hard time trying to match Alex's steps, it took her more effort and as a result, made her more ragged. Meanwhile, even though the other party was aware that it was taking all of Shantal's effort just to ex

On the flip side, while Jodi and Ms. Smith took the road with their car whilst Shantal and Alex decided go hand in hand surveying the street by foot, Amanda on the other hand, was left in the station to keep an eye at the available surveillance camera scattered within the entire city and traffic.

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.

"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.

"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.

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
