When the two of them realized what was happening, they quickly ran towards the gate as fast as their feet could take them.
"No! Wait!"
They shouted at the top of their lungs because it would spell them trouble once they ended up being locked out from the outside. They tried to stop the other party from closing the gate on them but it was to no avail.
"I am still here. There were people inside. Excuse me!"
Alex pounded hard against the gate. But because the old man was wearing an earmuff, he did not hear a thing and all their efforts to call the other party's attention had gone to naught.
"There is someone inside!"
Shantal also joined Alex but it did

"Don't worry. I know how to survive on the street." Alex tried to reassure Shantal for who knew how many times already. He had been saying almost the same thing over and over again to the point that the more he spoke, the more it sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than anyone else. "Trust me." He added for the umpteenth time just as when he was handing Shantal's phone back to her. However, not a minute had passed yet since he said, the sound of mice running around reverberated amidst the darkness, and the next thing they know, Alex was already hanging in the car as if his life depended on it. At the same time, he was obviously trying to keep his feet off the floor. "Don't tell me, you are afraid of a mouse?" Shantal inquired because the other party reacted way faster than a girl when he heard the mouse make a sound." "Huh? What are you say

"I am totally fine with this, Besides, it is not like I am not used to being locked up. My life has been no different from this for the most part of my life, anyway. So if there is anyone who is fine with being in the darkness and left in the cold, that would be."Shantal may have made herself sound nonchalant but only Alex knew that there was more meaning behind those words; hidden within them was her pain. It was for that reason why others might found the other party's words ordinary, but with Alex's point of view, it has a different effect on him. Because he had already seen through Shantal, more than she allowed others to see her.At the same time, Alex could not help but feel sad about hearing those words from the other party. Because even though she was smiling, the look in her eyes was saying otherwise However, before the atmosphere could even turn sullen, Alex's stomach chose the right timing to act up as if it was trying to make light of thei

Meanwhile, the drive to the Blackwater City was quite long so Harold and Sam ended up changing seats because the latter already felt that extensive driving was already taking a toll on her. However, it has not taken that long yet since the other party took over the control of the steering wheel, but Sam could already see that Harold was not exactly in his best shape to drive."Pull over to the side."She told her out of the blue and so Harold found the need to ask for her reason why she suddenly wanted him to stop driving."Relax. I just want to get something from that convenience store."Sam replied without looking at him."Okay."Harold said and just like what Sam wanted him to do he stopped in front of a convenience store. Sam went out of their car right away without saying a word. But it also did not take that long before the other party returned. A

Finally coming to accept the fact that they have no other choice but to wait for the dawn to arrive, Alex and Shantal made good use of their remaining energy to look for anything that could at least help make them comfortable while they were inside the dark and cold storage room. The task of checking with the boxes fell under Alex's hand and the job of making sure he has the light he needed for easy searching became Shantal's. "Let us find something to keep us warm while we wait for someone to come." Alex suggested and Shantal did not try to argue anymore. She just nodded her head and made sure that she was holding the flashlight over the other party's head, so he could see clearly in the dark. "There should be something here that we can use to cover our bodies." Shantal seconded him afterward. Meanwhile, Alex looked around the place, and his face lip up and his e

"Stop moving, otherwise the splinter would get stuck deeper in your finger.Shantal warned without tearing hr eyes away from the other party's finger. With how serious her expression was, if only one would not know better, they would probably thought that Shantal was dealing with something at utmost important. When the truth was that she was only trying to get rid of a splinter. Meanwhile, when Alex's eyes landed at Shantal's face, he was mesmerized and before he knew it he was already starting to get drawn into watching every changes that was happening at the other party's expression But before he could even completely fell into a daze Alex already triedb to get a hold of himself and in order to clear his mind, he shook his head.Alex tried to pull his hand again. But Shantal only pulled it back from him."It will only sink deeper inside if we don't do anything about it. and trust me when I tell you that it would be

As soon as Alex was done creating the make -shift bed out of scratch, he beckoned at Shantal right away."Climb up. That is your bed for tonight."'He even offered the other party his hand so he could help her to get up. But Shantal refused to take his hand and with confusion written on her face, she asked him."How do you supposed we can fit ourselves there? Don't you think that that bed is way too small for the two of us?"Alex did not expect to hear those words from Shantal and the thought alone of sharing the same bed with the other party was enough to make him blush."Err... I can....."Alex paused for a moment before he continued."I can exercise. I will do jumping jacks.""Are you trying to tell me right now that you are planning to do jumping jacks all night? Are you nuts????"Shantal inquired and Alex felt at a loss for words to say."Exercising is the best way to stay warm on a cold night. So

"Is this for real???"Alex asked out loud as he still could not believe his eyes. He did not expect to find foods inside the storage room. But he was glad that they finally had something they could nibble with to pass their hunger."Well I guess our lucky."Shantal commented and deliberately made herself sound nonchalant. Althoughh deep inside she was feeling so proud of herself already as it was so rare for her to be able to do something useful. But then just as when as they were in the middle of rejoicing, Alex suddenly asked,"But don't these belong to someone? Can we really it this???"His voice sounded a little sheepish because he did not think he would feel good stealing someone else food. Regardless of how hungry he was, Alex did not think that his conscience would let him rest easy after he coveted something that was not his.&nb

"Here.."Alex whispered softly and purposely placed the cup of raw instant noodles in between them so it would be easier for them to share the food. However, it seemed that the other party did not like to snack on something cheap because she pushed it away from and instead moved it closer to Alex."I already have my fill back at the inn, remember? Besides, judging from the sound that you made earlier, you could everything that is in here and it would still not be enough to satiate your hunger."When Alex heard Shantal's words, he laughed. But he also seconded her right away."You are right. I am definitely starving. I am so hungry that I feel like I could eat an entire horse."He claimed without feeling embarrass about sharing the thought of his gluttony. He then went to pick a noodle from the cup and sta

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.

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.
