The next day, Shantal purposely made her robot watch Hachiko.
"What kind of situation is that?"
Out of the blue, she raised an inquiry at Alex while at the same time allowing him to watch a certain part of the movie.
"A dog is saving someone."
Alex was not sure why Shantal was asking him the obvious thing but he still responded to her question using a matter-of-fact tone.
"That' is right! And theoretically speaking, you should be the equivalent to that dog."
Shantal answered back with the same matter-of-fact tone. Then she added,
"That dog is risking its life for its owner. Just like that dog, you need to protect me with bravery."
She declared and sat on the sofa with crossed legs. She looked at Alex and told him,
"Now, I want you to input that mission into your system."
'So it turned out that this was still all about that incident'
Alex, on the other hand, thought to himself. He held Shantal's gaz
"Is there anything else you want me to do master?"Alex asked Shantal as soon as he was done cleaning the other party's room.Shantal has a lot of servants that were available all day long to follow her every beck and call. Yet for some reason, the girl seemed to love the idea of making Alex her personal nanny.As such, she instructed Alex to clean her room first thing in the morning.Meanwhile, Shantal happened to be having her breakfast when Alex approached her.As soon as the other party got close enough to where she was seated, she lifted her gaze and looked at her robot, all the while chewing on her food."If only you were a human, I would gladly let you have a taste of my food."Alex, on the other hand, fought back the urge to salivate in front of Shantal. The girl deliberately showed him how she was enjoying herself over a bowl of creamy soup and garlic bread.She even let out an exasperated sigh as though she was really
"Lest you forgot, I am talking about the robot that you gave me!"Shantal felt the need to remind Jodi when the other party started showing her the face that suggested she felt more conflicted than she actually was."I am just also equally frustrated just as much as how you are."Jodi said as she placed her left arm over the table and used it to support her head. The other party even had the audacity to shook her head and exhaled a deep sigh of lamentation as though she was the one who experienced receiving the shorter end of the stick.Meanwhile, when Shantal saw that expression on her face, she almost tried to erase her cousin's face right here, right there."You can't be more frustrated than I am."She started to argue with her and with a synchronized timing, the both of them turned their head in the direction where Alex was, almost at the same time.They observed Alex who happened to sit at the corner trying his best to pretend th
"Go ahead, and charge your boyfriend. We can continue this conversation some other time."Shantal told Jodi to go home in a roundabout manner."Alright. Let's talk about our robots then. You can tell me about your progress with Alex the next time we leave. I'm sorry I have to leave in a hurry."Jodi sounded sheepish when she replied to Shantal. She felt like leaving Shantal just as when they were starting to have their common interest was as good as wasting a good opportunity to get close to her cousin.But then just as when she was considering letting Arvin's battery getting drained for a while she shook her head to clear her mind and with hurried steps, she assisted Arvin outside.Meanwhile, when her cousin left, Shantal remained seated on the same spot. As she was left alone to ponder over Jodi's word, she tried to give her advice, a careful thought."Input my emotions, you say?"Shantal muttered under her breath and then later tha
"Don't get me wrong, Aunt Mathilde, I am very grateful that you always sided with me when it came to making business decisions. But Ironscapes must choose between bankruptcy or a sale. This is purely business, nothing personal."Shantal already made herself clear and the more that her Aunt Mathilde was trying to persuade her, the more irritated she became.This was one of the reasons why Shantal hated talking to her relatives. She even refused to attend most of their family reunions due to that same reason.Because whenever they come to see her, they would always talk about their business with her.People always want to gain something from her and if not for their ulterior motive, they would not even think about asking Shantal how she was doing."Your late father chose to expand the company and was open to the idea of bending some of his ideals if needed. Don't you think you should do the same occasionally? I mean, there is no harm.""No, I'
"What?!"Harold almost went hysterical when he heard the update from one of his teammates.It turned out that the needed part to fix 1096 was sent to the wrong address, which in return would delay their work in a considerable amount of time."The part went to Africa?"Mikael, on the other hand, repeated the very words that Samantha just told them. He could not believe his ears."It takes one day for it to be sent from Japan. Why did it go all the way to Africa?"Harold asked in a mix of vexation and agitation."I accidentally put down the wrong address."Rico's size almost shrunk smaller than how he already was when he saw how his colleagues were eyeing him."Come on, guys. This is just the first time I made a mistake. I'm sorry. Okay?"He added.Mike, on the other hand, raised his hands in the air as a form of surrender and before he shouted,"My goodness!".......\(-_-)/.......
One sunny day, while Alex was busy cleaning the room, Shantal suddenly approached him from behind."Get stripped"The other party issued such bold command without even batting an eyelid and Alex was taken aback when he heard that.He put his arms protectively across his body and looked at Shantal with wide eyes. Alex did not expect that Shantal was harboring such adult thoughts about him.Just the thought of Shantal wanting him to remove his clothes and get naked in front of her was enough to make his ear turned red.Shantal, on the other hand, has no idea why her robot was acting weird but she handed Alex a set of new clothes."Let me bring you out today. We are going somewhere so wear this."She added"Ahhh..."Alex, scratched the back of his head awkwardly when he realized what Shantal really meant by her words.'She should have made it clear from the start so that I did not end up putting another meaning b
"Anyway, how are you guys supposed to retrieve me here without raising suspicion from anyone?"Alex suddenly raised another concern."Don't worry, we already come up with a plan before contacting you."Samantha butted in and then Rico added,"We will get you out of there and swapped you with 1096 without anyone knowing.""Don't worry, Alex. Trust us, we got you covered. Nothing wrong will happen."This time, it was Mike who gave him his words of reassurance. They thought that Alex was concern that they would get caught that was why he seemed to sound reluctant.But little did they know that the other party's reluctance did not have anything to do with that. Rather, part of Alex was simply unprepared to leave Shantal's side yet.""I thought your team would personally get me out of this house with the pretext of a recall notice? Is it not the plan anymore?"Alex asked in confusion.They had already discussed their i
"Hey, Alex! Who are you talking with?"Alex went stiff when he heard Shantal's voice from behind him.It turned out that just as when Harold cut their connection with Alex, Shantal, on the other hand, coincidentally walked to where Alex was.She saw him standing in front of her parents' portrait and for all she thought, her robot was only admiring the pictures.Little did she know that the party was actually planning about his escape."Hi, master. How long have you been there?"Alex asked as heAlex tried his best to keep a straight face and asked Shantal in order to gauge how much she heard if there was any."I just got here."Shantal answered without giving it much of a thought. Then she gave Alex a once over. She did not seem to notice anything out of ordinary from Alex so she added,"Anyway, I see that you are ready to go, so what are we waiting for? Come on!"She beckoned to the other party and headed
