After his quick scan, Alexander confirmed what he had already thought about coming to the store and that was that the Gustav Emporium only dealt with cooperate/formal wear.There were no everyday or casual wears in sight but he knew that that was the case and still decided to come anyway. The reason for that was because what he needed was Laura.She seemed like she would be of big help in getting clothes that would fit him the best, so he came with the goal of asking her for assistance.After all, she was the only fashion-savvy person he knew.“Yes, non-formal wears. I know what you guys focus on are the types of clothes you have all over the store, but I was wondering if you could help me with getting something else. Clothes I can wear at home or go out with that doesn’t seem like I have a business meeting” Alexander said.Laura pondered for a moment, taking a good look at Alexander and visualizing what would look good on him.Even though what he was wearing was the everyday low-qual
Once Laura was done taking all the necessary measures, she dropped the measuring tape on the counter and picked up the tablet.Using the digital pen that came with it, she went into a certain app whose interface was designed to look like a form of Excel spreadsheet. However, this one was specifically for fashion designers, and once opened, it had every label she needed.There was the label for head size, shoulder length, leg length, and every other measurement she had taken from Alexander.Laura imputed all of Alexander’s measurements that she had saved in her head, doing so quickly before she forgot one and would have to take the measurements all over again.When she was done, she entered the app’s settings and selected the one to minimize and pin the page to her tablet’s screen so that she could do other things while still seeing all the measurements she had taken.Once minimized, the tablet’s display was taken to the app's menu while the minimized form of the pinned spreadsheet pag
Just then, Laura, who had done most of the checking out process, stretched the tablet to Alexander. She said “Sir, please put in the address you would like the delivery to be made to. I’ve already chosen the express delivery service, so everything you put in the cart will be delivered within the next twenty-three hours” “Alright.” Alexander took the tablet and inputed the Sam’s hotel address. Laura pointed at the spot to put the phone number as well. “Because it’s my account we are using to make the purchases, if you don’t input your phone number here then it’s the one I used to create the account that would be messaged and called to inform when the delivery has been made” “So what you’re saying is that it’s super important that I put my number here. Got it” Alexander said then went ahead to type his phone number. Laura scrolled down and helped Alexander to press the COMPLETE button to go to the next page. The next page was all about the payment method, so she allowed Alexander
Immediately after he finished reading the message from the system, Alexander furrowed his eyebrows There was something slightly odd about it. ‘I didn’t ask the system to activate the Skill Copy Feature, but here I am receiving a message that it did, which must mean that it predicted what I wanted and did it for me. The robotic-seeming system I had yesterday wouldn’t have done this and that only means that I was right, the system is growing and becoming more aware’ Alexander thought and then smirked. With the rate at which the system was growing, it was only a matter of days before it developed self-awareness and Alexander couldn’t wait to see what that would be like. Alexander cleared his throat, letting go of any further thoughts about the system, and then focused on Laura. “Are you ready?” He asked. “As ready as I’ll ever be. Hit me” she said, anticipating what the riddle he was about to ask was going to be like. “What is there one of in every corner and two of in every room?”

Alexander returned to The Sam’s Hotel and what, at that point, had become a custom, he parked by the entrance, I’m front of the two valets he was acquainted to. “Welcome back sir!” both Valets greeted him enthusiastically, bowing their heads as he came out of the car. “Thank you” Alexander responded then walked over to the both of them.He dangled the key in front of their faces and asked “Which one of you is it this time?”Alexander, who didn’t want to hear the same argument that took place the day before, had assumed that both valets would have created a system amongst themselves, detailing who gets to drive the car whenever he gave them the key.A system that went along the lines of one of them becoming in charge of parking the car and the other automatically being in charge of getting it from the parking lot and taking it to Alexander whenever he wanted to go out. He wondered what their reply was going to be, considering the fact that one of them had already driven the car that
“How many days do you think you’re staying for sir?” She asked.“For now, just two days. It could become longer again, but I’ll have to wait and see” Alexander saidTessa nodded, saying “So a one-day extension. Got it”“Yes. A one-day extension” Alexander replied.Because Tessa was booking him in all over again instead of continuing his booking of the day before, his two-day extension had now become a one-day booking and another one-day extension.“Okay sir, everything is set,” Tessa said as she kept the pen on the record and closed it.“Thank you,” Alexander replied then raised and dropped his duffle bag on the counter.“The amount for the two days is forty thousand dollars, right?” Alexander asked, already unzipping the bag and starting to bring out the money one stack at a time.“That’s right sir. Forty thousand dollars, but I have a little good news”Alexander paused and grimaced after bringing out just five stacks.“Good news?” He asked, confused about how good news could come fr
Tessa looked longingly at the bundle of money in her hand then she gulped. She really wanted to keep the tip. Who wouldn’t when the amount was a whopping one thousand dollars which was half of what she makes a week working her current job? “I’m waiting,” Alexander said.Just then, the big hand of the counter clock hit twelve, lining up with the small hand already there and the inbuilt alarm, which informs when a whole hour had passed, went off.Alexander looked at the counter clock when he heard the alarm and thought ‘Looks like noon just hit.’He chuckled, thinking about how he had made it to the hotel in time and with enough to spare to get his new booking and extension completed before the deadline even reached.‘All that’s left is—‘ Alexander thought but then was interrupted when Tessa stretched the bundle of money back to him.“Sorry sir but I can’t keep this. I don’t want to break the hotel’s policy so please have it back” She said and Alexander was taken aback. After their i
