At first, part of Shantal still could not help but shake the feeling of awkwardness in her, thinking that she was only imposing to the other party and Alex was not exactly interested to the story that she was about to tell him. But over time, Alex became more engaged in asking questions, and this in return made it easier for Shantal to tell him more of her stories. Eventually, they got the hang of it that they started losing the track of time.

"Oh, I can bet my wrist that you will be laughing your ass out all night if  I will continue to tell my story."

Shantal declared with confidence in her voice as if she was certain that Alex would love to hear more about her robot.

"Try me..."

The other party insinuated with a lopsided grin and Shantal on the other hand smiled back at him. 

"Okay listen. Did you know that Alex left me dumbfounded on the first day that I got him? You wound probably won

    "Why is that?"Alex insinuated with his eyes squinted as he was also curious to know how the other party truly felt back when he was still staying with her, pretending as her robot."Well, apparently, when I opened the package, way before my robot, Alex could even step out of his box, he already almost ended up cursing at me. Then later on he claimed that it was because he was set on a friend mode by default."Shantal could not help but roll her eyes when she remembered that moment. But at the same time, a bright smile was still pasted on her face. She went on and on with her story and just like what they have agreed beforehand, Alex allowed her to do as she pleased; he let her tell him the stories and asked her back some questions every now and then. At this point, he could no longer stop himself from getting fascinated by the other party's passion when it came down to talking about her robot.Meanwhile, Shantal continued talking about her first encounte

    Meanwhile, the same kind of thought has been going on with Samantha's mind as she was left talking to Harold and Jodi. Apparently, the latter was able to catch up with them to which they deemed to be a blessing in disguise because it allowed them to hitch a ride with Jodi's car going to the Black City. "What do you think would have happened if he had told her the truth?" Samantha asked out of the blue in order to avoid the awkward silence and it was Jodi one who gave her an answer "My gosh, I have already told you numerous times. If he have told her the truth, Shantal might end up dying." Her eyes could not help but to go heavenward when she felt like she was only saying same thing over and over again for who knew how many times already, although in reality, she had only shared this one secret to Harold alone and no one else. It turned out that due to her medical condition, it was not advisab

    Jodi was silent when she heard Sam said those words because deep inside, she knew that the other party's words rang true. Meanwhile, when Sam saw Jodi's reaction, she fought back a sneer from breaking out from her lips. She knew she hit a spot there so she resumed from where she left off."You already decided upon yourself that Shantal's love for Alex and you was not enough for her to trust your confession. But how are you going to prove that your judgment was right? Doctors even perform surgeries on patients who do not have a 99 percent possibility of survival and that remaining one percent sometimes makes miracles happen."That one percent...."Jodi trailed off as she was trying to think of how she could refute the other party's words. But after contemplating and still coming up with nothing, she let out an exasperated sigh and hang her head low in resignation."You do have a point there."&

    Meanwhile, Alex and Shantal was still deep in their conversation. At this point, Alex became more curious than ever, especially after learning that the main reason of the other party's fascination with her robot was mostly because of the moments that they shared together. It was him who made those memories with her so in Alex's point of view, basically, the one she fell in love with was him. But at the same time, Alex also could not help but wonder why Shantal was suddenly acting as if she was missing 'Alex' so badly as if they have said their goodbye's to each other for good.The last time he checked, Shantal and her robot was doing good and judging by how passionate the other party was in relieving her memories with her robot boyfriend, it did not seem like they ended in a bad note. Besides, before leaving her side, he also made sure that 1096 was there to replace his place. So he wonder what had transpired to them after they switched places. Because from the way how Shanta

    Alex fell silent for a moment as he tried to come up with a word to say. He badly wanted to comfort the other party, yet he was at a loss for words. After long contemplation and still coming up with nothing to say, he finally admitted that he was speechless."I don't know what to say anymore."He told Shantal with a sigh and with his head hung low, Alex added,"But I know that what you have been through must really be painful and you have all the reason to feel that way."That was all that he managed to say because, at some point, Alex felt like Shantal wanted someone to say those words to her. Since he reckoned that it was most likely as well that oftentimes, people tended to invalidate her feeling thinking that a person was not supposed to waste their emotion over an artificial human."Well I guess, it was simply because Lady Luck had never been fond of me."Shantal replied with a desponded underto

    "You know what is funny?"Shantal asked Alex with a scoff and as if remembering something she shook her head. Alex on the other hand remained silent and let the other party continue her story."I was well aware of myself being infatuated with this robot boyfriend of mind, so when the tech team arrived to get him to my house and bring Alex back to their facility to get him fixed, I insisted for them to keep him as to how I used to know my robot. That was despite the fact that they offered an upgraded version to compensate me for the inconvenience brought by their defective product."At this point, Shantal was staring from a distance as if she was reminiscing something."Then one day, an old memory came to me."She added with a sigh afterward. Before she let out another exasperated sigh."I remembered how my first relationship with a robot concluded with a tragic end. I don't want to allow history to repeat its tragic end so I eventually have

    Shantal knitted her brows together when she heard Alex's response. She wondered what was the reason why the other party was trying to contradict her out of the blue as if he wanted to be smart than her regarding of how she wanted to end her own story telling. The girl was obviously left in a dumbfounded state but it the end, she still chose not to bring the matter up for discussion anymore."It is the end."She insisted while sporting a face that was devoid of emotion. Meanwhile, Alex drawled."Nooooo...w- what I a-am t-trying to say is that...."He tried his best to stop himself from stuttering but it was to no avail. It was as if he suddenly lost his ability to speak so he took a pause for a while to regain his composure. At the same time to come up with a plausible alibi for his action that was so out of his character. Then when he finally got one in mind, he straightened his back and drew his full height."I mean, you need to tell me how

    "Are you really that curious? Do you really want to know?"Shantal asked Alex tentatively and the other party just nodded his head silently as an answer to her question. Meanwhile, seeing the eagerness in those set of eyes, Shantal felt compelled to do as he said. So she drew in a mouthful of air and prepared herself for the continuation of her storytelling."I must admit it, at first, it really hurts; like a lot and if only truth would be told it was hard for me to get by."At this point, Shantal already have her head hung low and her expression turned sullen for the umpteenth time. Also, her voice tone down a little bit and it dropped in despondency. Meanwhile, Alex remained silent on the side and without saying a word, he watched how another bout of gloom clouded the other party's feature."The first few days was the crucial and I thought in time, it would eventually get better. However, reality p

    "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."

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!

    "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.

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
