This explain why
The moment Shantal was on her own and there was no one around, she mumbled,
"Is that how easy for them to say it? Tss"
She looked at her reflection in the mirror and with pain written all over her face, she asked out loud
"How can they say that so easily?!!!"
It did not take that long before Shantal returned downstairs wearing a fresh set of clothes. By the time she arrived at the dining area Rico had already set the last plate of dish in the table. At this point, all that they were waiting was for Shantal to take her seat so that they could finally start having a dinner together. Likewise, everyone was already gathered around the same table. They have a complete attendance since everyone else was already gathered around the same table. However, even after Shantal took her seat, the ambience around them was still a little stiff. Apparently, the other party's arrival did
Junk ShopAlex could not for the life of him understand what was wrong with the food. Obviously, since it was made according to his liking in the first place. After all, he was the one who cooked it. It was for this reason that he did not find anything wrong with how it tasted."It is good. You should try some."He told Sam since the other party was the only person who has not eaten anything yet."I don't eat meat."Sam said but as soon as she said that, Harold asked her."Since when?""Yes, since when?"Michael seemed to be as confused as Harold was so he also ended up asking Sam the same question."You two are annoying."Anyone could tell that Sam was lying when she said that she no longer ate meat products. But apparently, Harold and Michael were not quick enough to notice it. It was clear for all eyes to see that she did not want to suffer the same plight as her colleagues. Howev
The secret behind the late chairpersonToday was supposed to be a big day not only for Mathilde Angeles but also for Mr. Takashi and Mr. Yakamura. This was supposed to mark the start of their success. First, they would take over the Nordstorme Corp, then from there, they would make their way to the business of creating the strongest military forces. After all, with the kind of technology they have in their possession, they could make anything possible.As it turned out, Nordstorme Corp had long wanted to venture into the field of artificial intelligence. In fact, it was the late director's vision to invest on robotics. Mr. Takashi was with Christopher Nordstorme back at the time when the other party discussed about investing with the Alpha Tech. However, in his own opinion, he found it to be such a waste for that kind of advanced technology to be used at creating life size toys. It was Mr. Takashi's vision to make a profit out of it by cr
You'll not get the satisfactionShantal took her time watching Mr. Yakamura's departing figure. She also realized that something about the other party irked her whenever she saw him. Little did she know that it was because the same man was basically the mastermind who killed her parents. Only when the man was out of sight did she turn her attention back at the drama that was unfolding. Apparently, Mathilde refused to leave her seat and was adamant about resisting arrest and as the time passed by, they slowly realized that the woman was so good at playing by the book that even though she was acting deviant at that same moment, she still also did not physically show any sign of resistance when she was asked by the authority to come with them. However, it was also clear for all eyes to see that Mathilde was certainly trying to take her time to move away from her chair. It was as if she was determined to take as much of their time and waste it by stalling. However, not ever
You are what surrounds youMr. Takashi was no different from Mr. Yakamura's lackey and so when the other party left the conference room with his men, the former also followed them like a dog with its tail hiding in between the legs. On the flip side, as soon as Mr. Yakamura stepped into his lodging, his expression turned livid. Only when he was already away from the public eye did he allow his real monster to show. Yanking his tie away and throwing the rest of his suit onto the bed as aggressively as he could, the old man cursed out loud."Damn it!"Everyone flinched the moment Mr. Yakamura's angry voice reverberated within the four corners of the room. Then before anyone could even recover from his sudden outburst, Mr. Yakamura he turned to Mr. Takashi while still glowering because of what happened at the board meeting"The police have gotten involved. I need to leave the country immediately. Those things that we disc
How come?Everyone went back to the police station except for Jodi who suddenly became nowhere to be seen after they came to visit the Nordstorme building. However, she did not forget to leave a message to Ms. Smith notifying them that she was caught up with something but would make sure to come as soon as she was done dealing with her personal business. To be honest, it was not that Shantal cared if the other party would be running late or not since it was not like someone was keeping track of their time stamps, in the first place. In her opinion, as long as her cousin was fine, it would suffice. At the same time, everyone was also busy with something, they were all preoccupied. In fact, if it was not for Ms. Smith informing them about Jodi's reason for not being around, they would not notice that Jodi was not with them, to begin with. However, it was not because they did not want to concern themselves about Jodi but rather, this was mostly due
MATHILDE's P o V~~~"We shall now begin the ceremony for the company merger between Ironscrapes and Nordstrome Corp. "I could not contain my happiness when the board meeting finally commenced. I was over the clouds that I could hardly wipe the smile off of my face."Congratulations."Mr. Takashi told me as he offered me a handshake. I gladly accepted it and replied,"--And so to you."Mr. Takashi was a board member from the Nordstorme Corp and was only second to Shantal to own the most number of shares in the company. We have known each other for years that was why I am confident that he would vote in favor of me. In fact, he was the one who introduced me with Mr. Yakamura. Apparently, I brought my technician with me so that he could explain the business proposal in my stead. Obviously, he was more knowledgeable than me when
Mr. Takashi's P o V~~~~Since I am only second to Ms., Nordstorme to own the most number of shares in the company it was only natural that the job of facilitating a board meeting would fall under my responsibility in the event of the head director's absence. Well, it was not something that I mind doing, in the first place. As a matter of fact, I can do it all day!"We shall now begin the ceremony for the company merger between Ironscrapes and Nordstrome Corp. "I initiated before extended an arm to Mrs. Angeles for a handshake."Congratulations."I said with a smile and she reciprocated my energy."--And so to you."She replied while giving me a firm shake on the hand."Shall we?"I teased her and once again, she answered sweetly."Sure."But just as when her pen was about to dance on the surface of
"Hello?"Rico picked up the call right after just a few rings but he sounded relatively distant and somewhat cold compared to his usual attitude towards her.It has not been that long yet since they started dating so Jodi wondered what went wrong because the last time she checked, their relationship was doing fine. As a matter of fact, they texted all night the other day and even went to bed with sweet messages address to each other.But even thought Jodi noticed that Rico was acting weird, she decided not to pay it heed in the meantime."We need your help. 1096 went missing."Without going in circles, Jodi let Rico knew the reason for her call. Rico on the other hand, was shocked."What did you say? How is that possible?"At this point, the rest of his colleague also noticed his agitation and made them curious about what they were talking about."What happened?"Jodi heard Sam's voice spe
