THE BASHFUL ROBOT
Last Updated:
2021-03-04 19:53:44Right after rebooting her robot, Shantal left it and disappeared behind one of the doors. When she came back, she was already carrying a pair of jeans and a shirt.
"Change to this."
She threw the clothes over the robot and instructed it to clothe itself because the thing was only wearing nothing but a boxer and a white tank top.
The robot on the other hand did so easily. He took the clothes from Shantal while sporting a bright smile.
"By the way, my name is----"
"You have a name??!"
Before Shantal could even stop herself, she already interrupted the robot from speaking and asked him back instead. However, her question sounded stupid even on her own ears.
"Of course,"
The robot grin when it heard her asked that question.
"Don't you?"
He added and smiled again but his eyes almost disappeared when he smiled widely.
"My name is---"
Shantal was just about to introduce herself but all words that she was about to say got stuck at the back of her throat when she saw the robot took his tank top off and then took the shirt that she gave him and pulled it over his head.
When his head emerged again out from the shirt, his hair flew all over the place and all of it seemed to happen in slow motion from Shantal's perspective.
It was also only then did Shantal had a full view of her robot's body and so she could not help but eye Alex with complete fascination.
Before Shantal could even rationalize her thoughts, her curiosity already took the better half of her. So before she knew it, she was already closing the distance between her and the robot.
When the robot was already close enough to her reach, Shantal extended her hand towards its body and leisurely caress it.
Its body was built to look like a typical body of a human male. However, only its shoulders and legs looked normal as they were the parts that were usually exposed in plain sight.
The rest of its torso, on the other hand, gave its robotness away because they were no longer disguised with skin. Perhaps whoever designed the robot no longer saw the need to put much work on it since those parts were usually covered with clothes anyway.
But regardless if it was because of cost-cutting or whatever other reason it was, Shantal could never be bothered with it anymore.
Other than that, the robot was simply too life-like that Shantal could hardly take her eyes away from the very human-looking pallor of its skin and how, after it licked its dry lips, there seemed to be a small amount of moisture that passed from its tongue to its lips.
Shantal shook her head in an attempt to clear her mind.
"What's your name again?"
She inquired and decided to strike up a conversation so as to keep her mind from wandering somewhere unsafe.
Shantal had already tried looking for it prior to opening the package. But neither the box nor the owner's manual had no such information that could indicate its name.
Other than its model description and serial number, nothing else could be found on its packaging anymore.
It was for that reason why Shantal was initially surprised when the robot insinuated that he came with a name.
"Alex, and you are?"
"I am Shantal. Shantal Norstorme."
She replied as she stood straighter to draw her full height. Alex's height was a bit intimidating especially when his jeans were still in his hands and not on his body.
"Could you please wear your pants now?"
Shantal pointed out as she did not feel comfortable talking to someone who was still in his boxers.
"Pants???"
Alex asked back with a perplexed expression pasted on his handsome face, all the while holding the said article of clothing.
"On yeah, right! I am supposed to wear this.
He said when he saw the pants in his hands, and while he was in the middle of wearing the pants he added,
"Humans don't like walking around naked."
Alex said that more to himself as though he was making a mental note of it. Then he turned at Shantal again while touching the tip of his nose.
"Sorry!"
"Apology accepted."
She nodded her head to show that it was fine with her. After all, she also found it quite hard to stay mad at a robot who knew how to act cute.
For some reason, the robot was also capable of flushing pink in embarrassment at his blunder.

Alex was just about to step out of his box when he suddenly tripped and lost his footing and seeing this unfold before her eyes, Shantal act according to her reflex.She was worried that the robot would end up injuring itself way before she could even have enough time to interact with it so she flailed her hands in an attempt to get a hold of Alex and prevent him from losing his footing.After that small mishap, Shantal let the robot seat on the sofa for a while.Regardless of how 'defective' it might be, there was no doubt that the thing still cost a fortune and she did not want anything bad to happen to it, or at least not until she signed robot insurance for it, if there was any of that sort, to begin with.At the same time, Shantal also could not help but notice that her Android Partner was relatively lighter compared to what she initially expected from a mass of walking metal that he was.Alex was simply so human-like that everything

"Please bear for it in the meantime. I will fix the robot as soon as I can and I'll notify you right away once it is done. We will issue a recall, and by then you'd be able to earn your share. The team will pay you nicely, rest assured.""You didn't tell me that I have to pretend as a robot when you asked me to be your character model before.""I know, Alex. That is why I am asking you a favor. Please, just this once. Okay?"The other party sounded static so it was hard to ascertain whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman."How long do you think it will take before you could fix it?""A month at most but our target is within this week?"The other party replied but the tone used did not sound convincing at all and Alex heard that as well."Are you saying that I have to stay here with her for that long? You must be kidding me!"If it was not for his close friend asking for this favor, Alex would never agree to this ki

When he arrived at the place indicated in the email, someone fetched him and took him to a facility. Once inside, he saw the familiar face of Harold standing next to someone that looked exactly like him!"Remember when we paid you to be a character model to one of our robots?""Is that my robot version?"Rather than answering the other party, Alex only asked him back."Yeah. Meet 1096."Harold replied as nonchalant as he could, but he could hardly hide the proud smile breaking through his lips as he declared his very own robot that their team painstakingly created."Then what's wrong with him? Why is he not moving? And why are there so many wires connected to him.""Asked her that"Harold motioned to one direction with his lips and when Alex followed the direction where he was pointing, he saw the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen in his life.Her wavy brunette hair framed her small face and her button-like nose

Alex made it a point to wake up before Shantal did so that he would no longer have to explain himself once she caught him dozing off.After all, it would really be weird to see a robot that snored in his sleep.When morning came and the first sunlight broke into the horizon, Alex sat next to Shantal's bed. He watched her sleep soundly like a baby.They hold that position for who knew how long; and it was only when the sun rays penetrated the blinds of the window did Alex made an attempt to move and change his position.Shantal on the other hand stirred on her bed, but still did not wake up. When Alex checked on her, he saw her sleeping like an angel. Her fair skin looked supple under the sunlight.Likewise, Alex moved closer to her and made use of his hand to shield Shantal's eyes from the light.Meanwhile, the longer he stared at Shantal Alex felt more drawn to her face. For some unknown reason, he felt compelled to look at her closely and

Shantal freshened up inside the restroom. She expected that once she emerged out of her restroom, she would see her robot waiting for her right outside the door.However, to her dismay, when she opened the door again Alex was no longer there and instead, she saw him looking out to the window.Alex had his back on her and he stood with his hands behind him.His silhouette alone looked serene and the natural lighting from the morning sun added more aesthetic to his overall feature that from afar, he almost look like someone that came straight out from a painting.Curious, Shantal walked towards the window as well so she could also take a look at whatever the other party was looking at.She crossed her room with her face still dripping with water."What are you looking at?"She inquired at Alex as soon as she got near him.However, instead of answering her question right away, Alex only looked at her and then walked

Shantal did not want to entertain those kinds of thoughts so to stop herself from having silly thoughts about her robot, she deliberately changed the topic."Don't you need to 'sleep' as well?"Even as a robot, Shantal reckoned that a device like Alex was bound to get drained at some point.After all, even mobile phones needed to go to sleep whenever they were unused, so as to save as much energy as possible. So she wondered if her Android Partner happened to work the same way."Um... I don't need 'sleep', I just need to recharge my batteries and that is every three days."Of course, Alex made up that lie on the spot. At the same time, he saw that as an opportunity to give some leeway to himself.He banked on the possibility that Shantal would opt to send him back to the facility in the meantime since she most likely did not have a charger of her own yet; and just like he expected, Shantal was flustered when she heard about his char

She tried to remain indifferent and keep a nonchalant front, but if truth be told, Shantal's heart was already pounding like crazy against her chest at that moment.Even to herself, she was not sure why Alex's advances have that kind of effect on her.'For Pete's sake, Alex is a robot, Shantal! Don't ever forget about that fact.'She constantly reminded herself, in the hope of getting a hold of her raging emotion; which she blamed on her hormones though.She reckoned that the reason why she was acting that way was that she had never been to that kind of intimate interaction with an opposite-sex before.She was not used to it. As such when she experienced it for the first time, her emotions could not help but get silly and took the better half of her.To the point, that heart was beating so fast as if it wanted to leap out of her mouth. Her stomach was in no better situation either. It felt like a thousand ants were crawling inside i

"Here is your green tea, made with love."Alex's voice boomed inside when he walked into the room again."How could you be so quick?"Shantal, on the other hand, could not help but get quizzical when she saw Alex returned shortly after he left. Apparently, the other party did not even take a minute before he got back with a cup of tea.However, Alex refused to answer her question directly and instead flashed her a lopsided grin."You could expect nothing less from me."He declared as though that was only what to be expected from him."I am Alex, at your service. Model 1096; Android Partner version 2.0."He added and injected as much enthusiasm in his voice.But truthfully speaking, the only reason why he was able to return within such a short period of time was because of Butler John.If it was not for him, who knew how long it would take Alex to bring Shantal her tea?

"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.

"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.

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.

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
