As they ate their food, Shantal could not help but notice the self-satisfied look that Jodi was throwing her over her cup of ramen. Also, there was this robot boyfriend of hers that kept on looking at Alex as well with a judging glare.After a while, Arvin said something to Jodi in Chinese, and for some reason, Shantal found his tone somewhat judgmental. She was not sure why, but she felt like Arvin sounded like he was looking down at Alex.She could not understand what the other party exactly said to Jodi since it was Chinese, but at the very best, she reckoned that it was also very hard to hide the condescending undertone used, no matter what the language was.Shantal did her best to ignore the entire thing, thinking to herself that perhaps she was just a bit self-conscious and overprotective of her clumsy robot."Don't you think something is off about him?"Jodi whispered to Shantal when she was sure that Alex was not listening."Not that

"Alex!"Shantal beckoned to her robot just as when she popped open the lid of her medicine bottle.He purposely turned his back against Shantal because he did not wish to see any more of her antics. However, at this point, Alex was left with no choice but to turn around again and face her."Yes, master???"Meanwhile, when Shantal how calm her robot answered her beckon, her features soften a little bit."Now I will test your morals."She said and went on rumbling about the source of her frustration."There was this cousin of mine that had been constantly rubbing me on the wrong side ever since we were little. She kept doing and saying things that annoy me.There was no need for Shantal to drop a name anymore. Alex could bet his wrist that the person she was talking about was probably Jodi.But Alex did not speak his mind right away. Instead, he listened to Shantal."Moreover, people around us constantly compared me

For some reason, Shantal had been acting weird ever since they came back from lunch. He was not sure what truly transpired between her and her cousin, Jodi, but he was pretty sure that it did not go well."---And.."Shantal purposely trailed off, as she took another step closer to Alex. She raised her hand to his face and pointed at his temple"You are going to input my information in your head"After that, she placed her hands behind her back. Yet she did not take her eyes away from Alex, and she continued to speak to him."From now on, you need to focus on only me and follow no one else but me."After hearing all of that, Alex was at a loss for words. 1096's system was also not giving him anything, so to avoid the awkward silence that might follow, he was compelled to at least say something."Input?"He sported a confused face then added,"Input what in my head?""The first thing to input in your head is the hie

As soon as his butt hit the toilet bowl, Alex relieved everything that he was holding back inside him.He subconsciously heaved a deep sigh of relief when everything was set loose."I thought my intestine was going to fall out on the toilet. That darn alien pasta!"He said as soon as he was done doing the deed. The place stunk because of what he did and he knew that he has to do something about it."AHA! I got it."He said when he spotted a hand soap at the lavatory.He poured a liberal amount of the soap straight into the bowl, hoping that it would wash away the smell. Yet, it did little to clear the unpleasant smell reeking inside the bathroom.Alex knew right then that his effort was not enough yet. He had to think wise so he used his eyes again to look for something useful. That was when he saw perfumes sitting inside a cabinet.He carefully took one of it and sprayed it all over the place as though it was nothing but an ai

"Are your muscles very tense, master?"With feigned ignorance, Alex asked Shantal the most obvious thing. But the truth was, deep inside him, he already has an idea how sore the other party's body could possibly be feeling at that exact moment.It was for that same reason why he carried Shantal in his arms, in the first place. Then he brought her and made her rest on a massage chair."I am getting a massage because I ache all over because of you!"Shantal snapped at him.Alex was sincerely sorry about what he had done to Shantal. He knew it must have been painful for her. But the thing was, he was not supposed to show that kind of emotion, because again, he was acting as her a robot."Shall I adjust the mode?"He suggested because looking after her was the least that he could do now. Then Alex no longer waited for Shantal's consent and adjusted the intensity of the massage right away.Shantal, on the other hand, seemed to feel
