Meanwhile, it was already too late when Sam and the other realized that someone hacked their system. If it was not for their team leader pointing out the anomaly, they would not have noticed. Little did they know that Harold was behind all of that and it was actually part of his plan. He only agreed to Jodi because she left him with no choice. But there was no way, Harold would betray his team.

He only promised the other party that he would help them get easy access to their main office and it was all up to the other side's technicians if they could infiltrate the firewall. In exchange for that, Jodi would stop blackmailing him and give her every evidence she has in her hands.

However, it was not specifically included in their deal that he has to make sure to see the hacking process to its end. Now that he already got the flash drive from Jodi and he got what he needed from the other party, he could not be bothered to care anymore whether they were able t

    In the end, Harold's team was able to recover their system in the nick of time, and only then did Harold felt free to check his phone. However, when he checked his unread messages, his eyes bugged out. Hey, it's me, Alex. I am in Blackwater City at the moment. Shantal is here! I don't think she knew the truth yet. She has not found out, but what should I do? Harold gasped after reading the text messages that Alex sent him and when his teammates saw his reaction, they were intrigued. "What is it?" "Alex and Shantal is in one place." "Oh yeah! Right, about that, she actually called us regarding that." Rico commented. Among them, only Harold was left out of the news because the other party w

    Outside, Harold tried to catch up with Sam."Samantha!"He called her out so the other party turned around to face him."I noticed that you have not gotten a proper sleep in days so I will be driving."Samantha said using the same tone that Harold used inside. From the way she sounded, it was also clear that she would not take no for an answer."What if you doze off at the wheel? If you want me to go, take me with you because if not, you are not going anywhere either."She added when Harold refused to say a word. She thought that the other party would try to convince her not to come so she already told him her condition before he could even say anything."I have long known that you could be this stubborn. But I still can't quite wrapped my head around it."Harold commented but the other party no longer paid his words

    Meanwhile, Alex had been looking out on his window to check if there was any sign of Shantal outside and when he did not see any, that was the only time that he was able to heave a deep sigh of relief."Gosh, she is just like a leech. She just won't let go that simply once she set her eyes on something."He muttered under his breath and just as when he was in the middle of his lamentation, he felt his phone vibrate. Since he has been working all day, he temporarily put his phone on silent mode as part of his habit."Why are you not picking up?"Michael said as soon as he answered the call."What happened to you there? Fill us up.""I kinda kicked her out for now."He replied with sigh because he did not think that it was something he should be proud to share to others."Just hung on a little more. Harold a

    Alex was preoccupied due to the fact that he was in the middle of talking with Harold over the phone. Likewise, it was for that same reason why he failed to notice that Shantal was slowly approaching him from behind. The other party intended to surprise Alex and it could be said that she succeeded in doing so.Shantal deliberately prodded Alex on the side before speaking and as a result, the other party jumped to his feet"Hi there.""What the f--- FUDGE are you doing there!"The two of them were both left with a stunned expression after what happened and Alex was just shocked as Shantal was upon realizing his own reaction. An awkward silence followed afterward as they stared back at each other. They were waiting which one of them would break the ice and eventually, it was Shantal who did."Alex did just that once.

    Afraid that he would eventually give himself away if he continued watching Shantal, Alex deliberately hide within the kitchen and tried to call Harold again."She did not leave and instead, she came back in."She revealed as soon as her call got connected."Listen to me carefully, you might as well just be yourself. Anyway, I already told her before that her robot not only has your face but also your personality and habits."Alex was silent as he tried to listen attentively to what the other party has been trying to tell him. However, the other line was starting to get static and it made it hard for him to hear Harold properly, let alone understood everything that he was trying to say. Meanwhile, Harold continued speaking, completely unaware of the technical problem that was hindering his effective communication with the other party."But instead, remember this. You

    Alex went ahead of Shantal upstairs so he could the turned the lights on before the other party could even enter the room. He still has not forgotten yet how Shantal hated it when it was dark. As soon as he got inside, he immediately looked for the switch.Meanwhile, as soon as Shantal went inside and looked around the room, she noticed right away that something was missing. She opened the other door available inside her room in search of it but it only led her to the bathroom."Huh? Your rooms do not come with a bed?"She inquired in complete befuddlement"There is none. You will leave now, right?"Alex replied right away as he already expected to hear that complaint from her. However, what he did not expect was when Shantal insisted on staying."I will stay."Unable to hold back himself anymore, Alex let his hand ran over hi

    As soon as Alex was away, Shantal received a call from someone and when she checked the color ID, she was surprised to see Jodi's name on it. She did not expect to get a call from the other party so she wondered what could possibly her reason for contacting her when she knew for a fact that was away and trying to have some time to herself. However, since she was in a really good mood, Shantal could hardly remove the smile on her lips, and even when she finally answered the call, she was still at all smile."Hello?""Couz! By any chance, are you in Blackwater City?"Jodi asked Shantal as soon as the other party picked up the call. Shantal, on the other hand, was startled when her cousin was able to precisely point out where she was. So she answered Jodi's question with a question of her own."How do you know I am here?""How else but through the company? Someon

    Against the frigid weather of the night, Shantal decided to go out in search of the source of her coffee as she did not think that she could function properly the next day if she would not get her daily dose of caffeine. So it did not take that long before Shantal decided to go outside again to look for the said vending machine. However, as soon as she stepped outside, she experienced how badly the night draft was biting; it was freaking cold! Yet, it did nothing to stop her from having her drink. If anything it only made her crave more for a coffee. Likewise, the moment her eyes landed on the vending machine, the side of her lips quirked up a little bit."There you are..."She whispered softly all the while rubbing her hands against each other to keep herself warm.Not long after, she was already standing right before the machine and she did not hesitate anymore to put the coin into the coin slot right away.

    "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!

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.

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.
