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

"It must have been hard for you. I am sorry for bringing it up. I should not have insisted."That was all Alex managed to say after seeing Shantal's reaction. For some reason, he could not help but feel a little guilty for the other party. However, when Shantal heard him apologize she tilted her head in confusion. Then a crease appeared on her forehead before saying,"No you should not be sorry. It is not your fault, anyway. In fact, it was no one's fault."She smiled as she said that; the kind of smile that one would usually sport right after they resigned to their faith. Often when they either were done letting go of their past regrets or they had already accepted the reality regardless of how it hurt them and how unfavorable the situation was for them.Then she straightened her back and shook her head as well as if trying to clear the miscellaneous thoughts off her mind."But all shall pass. Not every day is a bad day and there is always a rainb

Shantal fell silent afterward and Alex refrained from talking as well as he did not feel like breaking the ice yet. He just let the other party have some time to think about herself. At the same time to give her a breather because he could see how hard it was for her to relive her memories with the robot.After a short while, Shantal forced a smile from her lips again and she tried to imagine Alex, her robot."This is what he would have said if he is seeing me right now acting like this, making a fool out of myself...."The girl deliberately closed her eyes so she could feel it more before she added,"You kinda look like a retard back there but you definitely did well and because of that I am so proud of you."Slowly, Shantal opened her eyes again, and when she did, the first thing that greeted her eyes was Alex trying to swat some invisible flies in the air.

"Only friends does not keep secrets with each other and as of now, we are clearly not one yet. But if you want, we can make it official right here right there."Shantal offered with a wink and Alex wanted to answer right away. However, judging from the expression that he was sporting on his face, it was clear for all eyes to see that he would decline her again and again, just like what he previously did to her for the umpteenth time."That is just presum-----"Yet before Alex could even finish what he was about to say, Shantal already cut him off in the middle of his sentence."Can you be my friend?"She asked him for one last time. This time, however, with more sincerity than before. It was also at that point that Shantal noticed that no amount of persuasion could make the other change his mind. He seemed determined to stick on his answer until the end. But at the

"By the way you are really cute.""Sorry.""Then tell me if you are sorry."(both heater and remaining light source died out)"You know what is more crazy and fooling? After meeting you today, I realized how I badly missed my robot and I am starting to have thoughts of trying to input my information at Alex again. I wanted to him to come back to me so we could be together like nothing happened."But at the same time, I am terrified for its possible outcome. I am afraid that even after all my effort, I still won't get the same Alex that I used to know. What if even if I told her the same thing that I said to her when we first met, old Alex won't come back? What if I tried even if I tried to behave exactly the same as before, he won't be the same never come back? I have so many what ifs.Thinking back, this same line of thoughts is what my heart kept telling me

When Alex heard Shantal asking him to be her friend again for the umpteenth time, he started to lose his courage of turning her down. So unable to decline, he tried to avert the other party's gaze instead. Shantal, on the other hand find his reaction cute. So instead of letting the matter go, she deliberately tried to make eye contact with Alex."By the way you are really cute."She commented out of the blue. But then when she noticed the change in Alex expression, so she quickly took back her words."Sorry."She muttered under her breath when she thought that the other party was unhappy about her acting way too forward. Little did she know that the reason behind Alex's reaction was because he was caught off guard after hearing her compliment.But of course, Alex was good at hiding his emotion so he was able to remain nonchalant outside and was even wise enough to refute Shantal's words"Then tell me if you are sorry."But just

"After meeting you today, I realized how I badly wanted to have a robot back in my side and I am starting to have thoughts of trying to input my information at Alex again. I wanted him to come back to me so we could be together like nothing happened." She resumed the pause for a while. Then clicking her tongue as if in frustration, she added, "But at the same time, I am afraid that even after all my effort, I still won't get the same Alex that I used to know. I have so many what-ifs that have been bugging my mind. What if I told him the same thing that I said to him when we first met, yet the old Alex still won't come back? What if I even tried to behave exactly the same as before, he won't be the same and he never comes back?" Shantal finished speaking her thoughts out loud with a sigh. "Well I guess, there is really no guarantee that you can have him back again the same as before. After all, you can' simply decide to abandon something at the last mo

"What else you could expect? It is not like you can simply abandon someone and just because you suddenly have a change of heart, you expect that everything will return to normal as nothing happened."Alex uttered those words with a blank expression so it was hard to infer what exactly was his emotion at that given moment. It was also a question of whether he was telling those things to Shantal or if he was talking to himself. Meanwhile, Shantal did not argue nor deny anything from what Alex just said. Instead, she lowered her hand and kept her eyes glued with her clasped hand. Then after letting out a deep breath, she tucked her knees across her chest."Thinking back, this is what my heart always kept telling me every single time,"She paused before looking at Alex. At this point, Shantal flashed Alex a timid smile because she did not want to make the ambiance gloomier than it already was. However, the smile that she was

"Well I guess, you have all the reason to feel that way. There was indeed no guarantee that you can have him back again the same as before. After all, you can't simply decide to abandon something at the last moment, and expect that it would remain the same once you change your mind and decided to take the thing back."Alex uttered those words with a blank expression so it was hard for one to read his emotion when he said those words. At the same time, since the advice actually applied to both of them, it was unsure whether it was directed to Shantal or if he was saying it more to himself. Shantal, on the other hand, did not argue nor deny anything from what Alex just said. Instead, she lowered her hand and kept her eyes glued with her clasped hand. Then after letting out a deep breath, she tucked her knees across her chest."Thinking back, this is what my heart always kept telling me every single time,"The girl stopped

"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.

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
