2024-10-29 19:42:56"Don't tell me you are planning to do something crazy."
Jodi said hoping against the odds that Shantal would not end up doing something crazy. She had known her cousin for a long, mostly because they spend their childhood together. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they grew watching each other. So Jodi knew more than anyone else what was Shantal capable of doing. Knowing her, it would no longer come as a surprise to Jodi if the other party would suddenly announce that she would do something out of the norm, and as expected, the other party's response did not disappoint.
Shantal remained silent and chose not to say a word, but that was more than enough for Jodi to understand what was running in her mind.
"Oh come on, cous, please don't tell me you are doing it."
She added and it was at this point that Shantal replied,
"Maybe I will try to get to know him?"
She drawled, before adding,
"Who knows? Maybe I can be

Meanwhile, after multiple failed attempts to get a hold of her cousin, Jodi finally handed the phone back to Ms. Smith. The secretary accepted it right away and Jodi flashed her an apologetic smile. "Here," She mumbled as she handed it back and just as when Ms. Smith was taking her phone back, Jodi added, "My apology for interrupting your conversation with your boss." "It is not a big deal, Ms. Jodi." Ms. Smith replied without any shred of pretense because if the truth would be told if only she has a choice, the secretary also would not wish to talk with her boss because more often than not, Shantal used to be irate whenever she was speaking to others; or at least that was what she used to be. "Got to go then, bye! See you when I see you." Jodi beamed and excused herself afterward. But while she was making her way outside Shantal's office, her head was also full of thoughts. Right after Shantal hung up on her, Jodi had been con

It was five minutes before their agreed time when Jodi finally showed up. She was not in by any means late when she arrived, just on time, but Harold was already visibly unhappy that he was made to wait for that long. At this point, he had been waiting for her on the table for almost an hour now as Sam and the others forced him to be there earlier than expected.However, the moment he spotted Jodi, the scowl on his face immediately vanished and in its place was the prettiest smile that he could muster."Please to meet you, Ms. Jodi Angeles."Harold greeted Jodi as soon as she arrived but Jodi decided to skip the pleasantries as she did not felt like she has time acting all friendly to someone she suspected of lying to them. Besides, she was convinced that Harold and his team had already conducted a series of background checks on her and that was why she could not let her guard down. Moreover, if ever her intuition was telling her right, then she reckoned that sh

"I'm sorry, Ms. Angeles it seemed to me that I can't quite wrap my head around what are you trying to tell me." Just like the most common scapegoat for those individuals that were second close to getting cornered by the truth or were just about to get exposed to their lies, Harold also decided to feign ignorance. However, the lopsided grin that was pasted on Jodi's face told him clearly that she already expected to see as much of that from him. Moreover, it was clear for all eyes to see that she was not in any way buying his acting. Jodi, on the other hand, clasped her hand together and placed it on top of the table. Then with a drawl, she replied, "I mean to say that I already know what you did." At this point, Jodi crossed her legs while also crossing her arms to make herself look more confident as if she had a full grasp of the situation. One should not forget that Jodi was only bluffing at this poin

Looking closely at Harold, Jodi observed that the guy appeared to be in a complete daze. The other party suddenly entered in a trance without prior warning that it left Jodi wondering what has gone to him. But the truth was, at that very moment, Harold was frantically racking his brain for his next course of action and in all honesty, he was already in the midst of a mental breakdown! Jodi, on the other hand, did not think that she could still tolerate the other party's preoccupation for another minute so she deliberately drummed the table with her fingers and this in return pulled Harold's attention back to her. Meanwhile, when Harold heard the sound of someone tapping the table in front of him, it cut through his line of thoughts and this was what brought his senses back to reality. As soon as he recovered himself it was only then that he did realize that the girl before him was already eyeing him with an upturned eyebrow. "I have been meaning to tell you tha

"A loss of revenue was just the least of your concern. What you should fear is how it would affect the company as a whole in the stock market."At this point, Harold's body could not help but tense up a little bit as a cold shiver started running down his spine. There was no need for Jodi to directly tell it to him because he could already tell by himself that the other party definitely knew what she was doing. She knew her stuff and the certainty she has in her voice every time she spoke made Harold further believed the Jodi was indeed aware of the secret that they had been hiding. Meanwhile, Jodi who had no idea how convincing she had been in Harold's eyes continued speaking."I can assure you that controversy like this was more than enough to convince any businessmen to pull out their investments and abandoned Alpha Tech. Once that happened, your management would only be left with two options. It is either the company would sell its share at a low price and let it g

Jodi knitted her brows together when she saw the other party trying to act as if he was innocent. She tried her best to stop herself from doing an eye roll but they still ended up going heavenward. "I must say, you are quite a tenacious actor for trying to keep a good act all this time, I will give you that." She drawled as she spoke. Also, the tone of her voice was also laced with a sarcastic undertone. Then she continued, "But if you are thinking that it was enough to convince me otherwise, then I am sorry to tell you this, Mister, but you are thinking it wrong. So if I were you, you better drop this lousy acting of yours now. You cannot fool me anymore so stop pretending like you knew nothing next to what I have been trying to tell you." Just like Harold, Jodi was also trying to play her cards well. At this point, she could already tell for sure that the developer's team really did something in the past. Because if it was not the case,

There was an incredulous expression pasted on Jodi's face when she revealed to Harold what she had witnessed about the peculiarities of the 'Android Partner' that they sent them and the more the other party entertained her suspicion, the more convinced she became as well that they indeed committed something nearly atrocious."A robot that requires food? If that can't be consideredAnd don't dare tell me now that it was some sort of an upgrade because I am telling you right now, that I won't buy that bullsh*t! Being dependent on food consumption on a daily basis in order to function properly is one of the key differences between a robot and a human; not to mention that this factor is considered as one of the perks of being an artificial human. So I can't see the point why your developer's team would build your robots in such a way. Unless, you are aiming to make an inefficient product, to begin with."Jodi added afterward without giving Harold any

Meanwhile, 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

"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.

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. On the contrary, Mr. Takashi was nodding his head on the side and though he was anticipating for this day come.Mr. Takashi nodded his head toward Secretary Ye to signal her to start it once and for

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

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
