Sia woke up with a start. Tears streamed down her eyes. An intense feeling of grief gripped her. The guilt of betraying R was eating her from inside.
She felt like she deserved to be in pain, but for now, she had to focus on this mission. She couldn’t let his sacrifice go waste.
The setting of the room was juxtaposing Sia’s mood. The liveliness and beauty of the room held no appeal for her. So she changed it to a simple one.
Now it was time to get ready. Yorick would return any minute. Sia stepped into the shower, hoping to wash away all my sorrow.
She sat with a thump on the floor and buried her head in her hands. She sat there like that for a long time. Suddenly the words, “ SERENGHAYO LIBRARIAN” flashed through her mind. Why had Wrick used that specific address? It was a very unusual statement. He usually addressed her by her name. Why did he choose to call her a librarian? She wondered if he was giving her a clue about something. Driven by curiosity, Sia went to check out the library. It would be a good idea to start reading some books to ge
Sia felt irritated at her core. What did he think of himself? Yorick had told her that Jay would be her assistant.What was the use of such an assistant who didn’t explain anything to her?She let out a deep sigh. She would have to try finding out the details herself. She tapped on the COD he had given. Its interface was very different as compared to ROD. She couldn’t understand how to operate it. She was scared to use the trial and error
Like the last time, Jay spoke a lot of gibberish and left just, completely disregarding Sia.“Gosh! Why does he behave in such a weird manner?” Sia muttered.Then turning to Zora, she said, “ Zora, Do all other people behave in the same manner, or is Jay an exception.”“Most of the people are cold and aloof, but Mr. Jay seems furious.”“ Do you have any idea how I might have offended him?”
A month passed by in the blink of an eye. Sia had finally mastered all the basics and no more needed the help of devices to understand everything.She had her plan chalked out. She would join the board of the company and complete all the steps needed to attain immortality.Filled with anticipation, Sia arrived at the board meeting of Zen Group of Companies.She was shocked to see Jay’s support when she became a member of the board. She had expected him to make things difficult for me. Maybe his support was a ploy too. She had to be careful.
She did a quick search on her CID. They were heading in the right direction. The ETA was five minutes. She heaved a sigh of relief that they were headed in the right direction. The sinking feeling in her heart still didn’t fade…The cabin jolted to a stop after five minutes just as she had expected. The glass panels slid into the floor. She sucked in her breath when she saw the ZHS. It had to be the most incredible structure on The Mainland.
No, she didn’t mean that he turned into a monster. The changes were very subtle. His eyes didn’t exude the coldness as before. He looked more approachable, but there was still arrogance in his attitude.“ Sia, I am Ben. I knew your father well. I knew your guardian, Mr. Roy, too. So I had to save you today.”Sia was bewildered at his statement. There was a chance that Mr. Ben knew her father. Ok, He could be acquainted with Mr. Roy in the past, but how did he know that Mr. Roy was her guardian? What did he mean that he had saved her?Did
While going through the icons, a particular option caught Sia’s attention, ‘Display on your wall screen.’She looked around the room, but she could find no screen on the wall. Still, she clicked on the option out of curiosity. The wall facing her suddenly lit up with a myriad of options. There was no screen on the wall as the whole wall itself was a screen. A search tab was visible on the screen too. The ROD displayed a mini version of the enormous screen.
Sia was shocked at the pace Mr. Ben’s personality changed. When he was not wearing the CID, he was warm and friendly. Once he wore it, he became cold and reserved—even his manner of addressing her changed.Since she didn’t know how to go back to her room, she remained seated. She looked around, trying to find something to do.A shelf in the corner caught her eye. The doors of the cabinet slid open automatically when she went closer. The sight was one to behold. The shelf was filled with books. All
