We need to talk
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Meanwhile, when Jodi saw how determined Harold was to deny any of the allegations being thrown to him, she let out a scoff. She stared back at the other party with disbelief clearly written on her face. As if she could not believe her own eyes and ears, after hearing the confidence in Harold's voice. Then shaking her head in disappointment, she uttered,
"So I see that you are planning to insist about this, until the end. Well then, we will play it your way."
Right after saying that, Jodi craned her neck and stuck her nose in the air. She wordlessly dared the man across her table to a staring contest and Harold was more than willing to oblige. Harold may looked like he was indifferent, but if truth would only be told, his hand was already shaking. He was on the edge but he did not want to appear nervous. So in order to hide his trembling hands, he surreptitiously pulled it away from the table and placed it instead on his lap. The fact that he have no i

Meanwhile, when Jodi heard the edge of concern at Harold's voice, her eyes shone with malice. At this point, she could already tell for sure that she has the upper hand in the situation. There was no need for the other party to admit it anymore because his action already spoke louder than words. "And now we are talking." She drawled as she took her time to return to her seat. A smirk was also pasted on her face. Harold, on the other hand, could no longer bring himself to flash the girl across her a smile and so with an expression that was devoid of any emotion, he spoke, "I don't think you came to me to ask for money. So let us stop beating around the bush, and tell me, what do you need in exchange for this information you have?" Harold inquired; shedding all of his remaining pretenses. But when Jodi heard his words, she only raised an eyebrow. "Is that the right attitude for someone who was about to ask for a favor?" She asked h
Boyfriend for Sale Fair exchange
The corner of Jodi's lips quirked up a little upon witnessing the change of attitude from the other party; she was clearly enjoying the perks of having the upper hand. If only Harold knew that the supposed evidence was nothing but a big fat lie, he would probably end up spurting blood due to utter vexation. Unlike Jodi initially claimed, she did not have any videos to support her claims. There was no such CCTV footage or anything that could prove that Alex was not a robot. In fact, it was only Harold's reaction that exposed himself. "You are right, I don't need your money." Jodi agreed and without breaking eye contact, she revealed her true intention for making direct contact with the developer's team. "It is the information that I needed." She declared in a flat tone as if what she just said was nothing. But when Harold heard that, his eyes bugged out and he found the need to ask the other party back in case he only heard her wrongly the firs

Harold was silent for a while as he was left thinking to himself. He was wondering what kind of information Jodi was pertaining to. But after long contemplation but still coming up with nothing, he finally relented. After all, it was not like he could read her mind. There was no way he would know what Jodi wanted if he would not ask her directly about it."What kind of information do you need from me?"At this point, Harold was already convinced that the other party has proof of their malpractice. Never in his wildest dream would he imagine that the girl was simply bluffing all these times."Simple, I want you to share with me how you guys develop the system of Android Partner."Jodi declared without beating around the bush. She basically told Harold to turn his back on his morals, albeit in a roundabout manner. Meanwhile, when Harold learned what the other party truly wanted from him, he abruptly rose to his feet; knocking his chair on the floor in the p
Boyfriend for Sale Which one does Shantal met?
Jodi was aware of how her words could affect the other party. So she was no longer surprised when she saw Harold seething with rage upon hearing her condition. In fact, she fully understood his frustration. That was why instead of trying to say something to refute his words, Jodi chose to remain silent, and instead, she flashed him a simpered smile.After waiting for a few seconds and confirming that Harold finally calmed down, Jodi took out an envelope and handed it to Harold without saying a word. Harold, on the other hand, cautiously took the envelope and opened it without breaking their eye contact. When he checked out what was inside it and realized its content, he could not help but furrow his brows.It was a set of 3R pictures that has Alex on the focus; one after another, he took them out and deliberately laid the pictures at the table. Apparently, those were the only thing that Jodi managed to get her hands with when she tried to co

"I don't understand what you mean.""I am pretty sure you do.""If you don't have anything else to say, I will excuse myself.""You will soon have something to say to me. Call me anytime."Jodi insinuated as she also rose to her seat, ready to leave as well."But know that being patient is not one of my strong traits. These are just one of the many things I have against you and your team. I am confident that with everything I have with me, I can bring your company down. But I won't do that, not yet."She added using a flat tone. Her words however raised another question on Harold's curious mind."Why?"He asked her and Jodi answered him with a scoff."Why, you ask?"With a lopsided grin on her face, she drawled."Why are you doing all of this

Meanwhile, Shantal who was still inside the train was left with no choice but to wait until it arrived at the next station. But surprisingly enough, when they arrived, it just so happened that it was also the same station where the guy would take off the train."Geez!"Shantal yelped as she tried to hide from the other party. But after giving it some thought, a crease appeared on her forehead."Wait a minute, why am I even hiding, in the first place? It was not like I did something wrong. Besides, he does not even know me."She thought to herself, and when that realization dawned on her, a smile broke out from her lips as she found her own reaction silly. Right after that, she raised her chin and confidently made her way to the crowd."What am I doing?"She muttered under her breath as she tried to question her own action because, against her better judgment, Shantal ended
Boyfriend for Sale The old lady in the inn
"That lad should be here by now."An old lady said over to her phone just as when Alex was about to enter her house."Just let him do whatever he wants. Don't try to ask him any of your questions anymore. Okay?The voice from the other line said and this voice belonged to Jerrick; one of Alex's good friends who he happened to ask for any suggestion of a place where he could unwind and keep himself busy at the same time."Yeah, I understand what you mean."The old lady replied with a nod even though she knew well enough that the other party could not see her."Also, give him food if he says he is hungry and let him work if he insists on helping you out and do not forget t----."Before the other party could even finish what he was about to say, the old lady already cut her off."Speaking of the devil, he j
Boyfriend for Sale Words on repeat
When Alex emerged out from the inn again, Shantal was still out there waiting to see him outside. Alex threw the garbage without knowing that there were eyes following him.'We used different character models with the face, personality habits, and so on. Generally to develop our robots and create one specific individual.'A psychedelic voice sounded inside Shantal's head as she was reminded of Harold's words and as if broken record they were played on repeat inside her head.'We have a character model for each of our models.'She remembered him telling her just as when she was watching Alex went inside the inn again. She never took her eyes away from him even once and she kept them glued to the other party's departing figure.'In your robot's, case, rest assured that we hired someone appropriate as a part-time worker.

"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. Respect my existence."Michael insinuated afterward before he sarcastically added,"Do you guys want be to get you a room instead?""I should not have fallen asleep that night."He muttered to himself as he recalled the night Jodi asked Rico out for a date. 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 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. Just like what Alpha Tec Inc pioneered years ago.""This is your first change in business strategy in 15 years. Do you have anything mapped out?"One of the reporters raised a question just like what a normal press conference should

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

Adelaine Smith's P o V~~~~While Jodi and I were driving down the road looking for any sign of the robot, I received a call and when I checked who it was, I found out that it was Amanda so I accepted the call right away."Ms. Smith, the robot just got on the bus number 707."I heard her voice telling me the moment it picked her call"Great! 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
