"Thank you."
I heard him muttered under his breath, barely in a whisper. But my ears were still able to pick his reply.
"Please. Tea is best when it is still hot."
I insisted but made it sound like it was only a gentle reminder. However, in spite of my effort to hide my true intention for inviting him in, the other party seemed to be able to see through my words. I could tell as much as that because apparently, I noticed that he narrowed his eyes as he stared back at me. At the same time, his brows were knitted together and I could also see the lines that appeared across his forehead as a result of him raising an eyebrow; thus making his frontalis muscle to contract.
This time, I purposely lifted my cup and brought it to my li

Meanwhile, on Author's point of view...Ever since it was made known to everyone that Shantal already regained her consciousness, Harold became relatively more tense than ever. He became edgy for some reason and would often be seen by his team mates with a daze look on his face as if he became completely detached to reality. The fact that the retribution of his bad decision making was drawing near must have been taking a huge toll on his mental health.One day, he invited his colleague, Sam, for a ride; without the other party knowing that they were actually headed to someplace which she never expected their leader would bring her."What are we doing here?"Sam asked Harold when their car suddenly came to an abrupt halt in front of a university."We are in school."Harold said f

SAM's P o V~~~~Earlier this morning, Alex informed us about his plan of dropping by at Shantal's place. That was despite of the group's collective disagreement. We already explained to him how it was not a good idea for him to meet her at this point of time. But that did nothing to change his mind. He even told us that no amount of words could convince him otherwise. As expected, there was no one who was capable of stopping the desire of one's heart, so in the end, we just let him to do as he pleased.However as soon as Alex left, I noticed that Harold became more distant towards everyone of us, more than he already was these past few days. That was why when he suddenly asked me to come with him for a ride, I immediately said yes, without even giving myself a chance to have second thoughts.I no longer asked him where he was planning to bring me.

HAROLD's P o V~~~I know that Sam would hate me for doing this, but I still did. I am only doing this for her own sake. I don't want to add her to the long list of things that I would definitely going to regret sooner or later.My career was about to come to its end. But that did not mean that just because my career was over, my teammates would have to share the same faith as mine. That was why, as earlier as now, I wanted to do them a favor and let them go. They still have a long way to go and I don't want to proverbially cut their wings. The last thing that I want to happen was for implicate them once the news of my transgression was leaked into the public."I brought you here to go see the professor by yourself."I told Sam flatly and did not let any of my real emotion to show on my face. Outside, I was sporting a blank expression as I ke

SAM's P o V~~~~Harold went silent for a while, and just by watching his expression, I could already tell that he was dealing with an internal strife within himself. Not long after, he let out an exasperated sigh, and with eyes still glued in the windshield of the car, he said."I know it is hard. But accept it."I noticed how he went slumped and his head suddenly hung low on his neck as if all his energy started to slipped off from his body. But at the same time, I also noticed his hand gripping the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.It was clear for both my eyes to see that he was struggling. But as such as I wanted to help him, I was simply helpless. He did not want anyone to come near him. He was like a wounded animal which despite of its injury, could hardly trust anyone to allow them to approach him and bring some help. In

SAM's P o V~~~I badly wanted to tell Harold some consoling words, but my brain seemed to stop functioning; I could not think of a word to say and so since I was tongue-tied, Harold just continued speaking."I would also try to look somewhere where I can recommend Rico and Mike to other positions. As your guys' team leader, that was the best I can do."He added while forcing a smile our from his lips. However, that smile did not even reach his eyes. Thus betraying his purpose. I could just by looking at him that he was in pain. Yet there he was acting all tough. If only he would let us comfort him every now and then.It was also at this point that I noticed how the other party was deliberately trying to avoid meeting my gaze. I was known for being good at reading people and it was probably for that reason

HAROLD's P o V~~~"But we can always try again. Just like before; with you, Mike and Rico we call all worked this out together."I could see Sam's effort for trying to convince me to change my mind. But that would be to no avail. Don't get me wrong; truth be told, I really appreciate what she has been trying to do. I appreciate how she was sticking up at my side. But the thing was, I no longer want to waste her time. I did not want for neither of their lives to go to waste like mind. Sam reached out to me and squeezed my hand gently but I pulled away."My life was based on the belief that I could never be wrong. However, that belief is destroyed. I started thinking that I could be wrong. Now, I started to be afraid of everything."As much as I hated to admit, that was the undeniable fact. I was onl

Despite the harsh treatment that Alex received from Shantal the last time he went to the other party's place, it did nothing to discourage him from continuing the deed which he had already started. Almost every night, Alex would be seen practicing at the kitchen, trying to perfect his home made pack lunches. However, when he returned to Shantal's place to bring her food, the other party still treated him the same."Are you out of your mind? Why do you keep coming back when I completely ignore you?"That was the first thing that come out to her mouth as soon as she realized that Alex returned and when the other was unable to give her an answer right away, she made her own conclusion."--- Ahh.. right, about that. It must have been the lawsuit, is it not? Do you think that doing thing will make me cancel the lawsuit?"Shantal asked him back with a scoff. She did not bother to hide her contempt towards

Sam and my indecisive self arrived into a decision yesterday that we will going to look for a place where we can continue our research as a standalone IT team outside Alpha Tech; and now we were on our way to look for a prospective place where we can relocate. Given our current, it would not take that long before we would get kicked out of the facility. So might as well, come prepare. "It's here, come inside." The landlord invited us, as he gestured to us with hands to follow him. He led us to a spacious stock room. It might not be as impressive as the facility we have back there at the Alpha Tech, but I think it could still do the job of holding our research. "There is no pillar in the middle of the room, so you will be able to use the space as freely as you please" The old man added as he introduced us to the place. "We can use this space as the bedroom and we c

"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.

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 is how this miracle happened. That fact completely changed the way I view things. This will be yet another scoop for the reporters present.

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.

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

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
