~~~~
After Alex averted my eyes, I also resumed walking towards the other side of the kitchen counter where my double door fridge was situated. I have this intent in mind that I would going to pretend like I could not see hind. I headed straight to my french-door fridge and as soon as was standing right before it, I knocked on its door-in-door to see what was the available drink for me there.
After that, I took the beverage of my liking and downed it; allowing its content to slowly soak my dried throat. While I was in the middle of drinking, I could see from the corner of my eyes that Alex was stealing glances at my direction. Albeit, he still kept his head low and seemingly busy tinkering something at the table. When I was done chugging, I wiped

ALEX's P o V ~~~ I kept my eyes glued on my own hands on purpose, because I was trying to avoid making eye contact with Shantal. But that did not mean that I am paying attention to her. I watched her on my peripheral vision as she slowly made her way towards the fridge, took something inside, and started drinking as if there was no one. The place was relatively silent to begin with and it only seemed to intensify when Shantal and I started sharing the same dining hall. My ears were even able to pick the sound of the contented sigh that escaped her lips right after she was done draining the content of a plastic bottle. I noticed that she went still after that and when I checked what she was up to, I realized that she was eyeing the food that I made.

SHANTAL's P o V~~~I could see the eagerness from Alex. His attempt to strike a good conversation with me was clear for all eyes to see. Also, from the current looks of it, it seemed to me that the foods were actually prepared by him and when that realization hit me, a plan of revenge crossed my mind.Slowly, I reached out to the trash bin lying just right next to where I am standing and as soon as I got a hold of it, I made my way towards the other party's direction. When I got to the table, I placed the trash bin on top of it and without saying a word, I picked the lunch boxes and throw the food inside the trash bin, one after another. I thought I would get a satisfaction from doing this. But to my dismay, I did not feel anything. If anything, the feeling of emptiness inside me, threatening to make myself hollow from within only intensified.&n

"I'm fine. I don't need your help."Hearing the conviction on the girl's voice, Alex was forced to stop midway and completely threw the attempt of neither helping nor approaching her at the back of his mind. Shantal might be having her difficulty when moving around due to her current condition that was physically restraining her; nevertheless, that would never be enough to dampen her pride. The unmistakable authority on her voice could still be heard from her whenever she was trying to speak her mind. At the same time, it was as if her tone was also laced with threat and malice. It was for that same reason that made Alex stopped dead in his tracks. The guy literally halted his steps the second he heard Shantal spoke.Meanwhile, the girl did not even bother to check on him and as soon as she was back on her feet, not to mention with just her own effort, Shantal resumed walking away with hurried steps, leaving Alex at the kitchen alone o

BUTLER JOHN's P o V ~~~~ Up until this point, it was still unknown who leaked the information regarding Ms. Nordstorme's condition. But as soon as the news of her falling into a coma broke out in different media platform, it was already decided that she will going to receive her treatment at home. In that way, her safety and privacy would be at the top priority because there was no guarantee that the hospital would be willing to expend their resources just to give a patient this kind of preferential treatment. The public became curious to know why the infamous heiress of the Norstrorm group of companies suddenly feel ill for no reason and so it only goes without saying that reporters would be defying norms just to get her story covered The night was still young at that time I could remember that the clouds were overcast as well.

BUTLER JOHN's P o V I watched in astonishment as Alex walked away, covered with his own sweat. But my mind was still left wondering how on Earth did technology made it possible for a robot to perspire; they surely made them way too human-like. As much as I did not want to pay it that much heed, I simply could not bring myself to believe what I just saw. If only this was about being water resistant or being capable of submerging itself underwater for an extended period of time, I would not be this surprise. Such features was already a good feat by itself, considering that gadgets were only man-made, and I don't think Android Partners were any different from gadgets. Likewise, concepts like these was at least supported by science. After so many trial and error, experiments, and countless studies, claims like these could be back up by technological advancement and it could be explain in a way that even a boomer like me

BUTLER JOHN's P o V ~~~~ "There was only one way to confirm my theory." I muttered under my breath and with my suspicion burning more than ever, I followed after Alex who went inside; trying to make my footsteps as silent as I could to avoid being found out. "Move like a phantom." I chanted and repeated the line over and over again as if a broken record inside my head. Later on, with these deliberate light steps, I was able to reach the kitchen, slowly but surely. There I saw Alex taking a bunch of food out from his bag. Not long after, I heard a hiss. 'Crap!' The familiar voice said and both Alex and I ended up turning our heads almost at the same time, towards the direction where the sound was coming. There I saw my young miss making her way

However, even after knowing the Ms. Nordstorm was gone, I still chose to stay at where I am hiding. I remained rooted in the same spot, watching Alex as he let out a long and deep sigh. At this point, he appeared to be more human to me, more than ever. He looked around him and after a short contemplation, he decided that it was time for him to leave. Likewise, I left my spot as well and went back to the entrance with hurried steps so he would not notice anything.When Alex stepped out to the mansion, I saw to it that I would be the first one who would greet his eyes. However, when he got out, he has this dazed expression that was sporting on his fac

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.

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.

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
