“I know it’s a question that seems like it’s coming out of nowhere, but if you’re willing to indulge me, how much do you think you would need to go back to running this place the way you want?” Alexander asked.Vicky jolted and almost gasped.Never in a million years did she expect to hear those words from Alexander’s mouth.Not only had he gone out of his way to do something good for the orphanage by bringing back the missing Timmy, but here he was trying to top that by asking a question that hinted at him wanting to offer something as marvelous as a donation.Vicky gulped, sneaking a glance at the expensive sports car parked behind Alexander and realizing that what he just said wasn’t a bunch of empty words.“The amount of money we were used to receiving as donations was adequate to keep the place running, so if you can give us that or something close to it, then I’m sure that we can make do with—“Alexander cut her off.“Miss Vicky”“Yes?” She replied.“I didn’t ask you how much yo
Alexander took a deep breath and sighed.“Alright! All that’s left is getting the orphanage’s account information and I’ll transfer the money later” Alexander said.“Just give me a moment and I’ll go get it for you,” Vicky said and then left Alexander, who grimaced in confusion.‘Since she runs the place, shouldn’t she have the number memorized and ready to be used at any moment?’ Alexander asked himself but a minute later his question was answered.He saw Vicky come out of the orphanage with a card that had the information of the bank account they used to receive donations, but that wasn’t all he saw.She didn’t come out alone.Behind her was the groundskeeper from earlier, some other workers of the orphanage like the cook and janitor, and then all the kids that the orphanage took care of.Alexander furrowed his eyebrows, wondering why she went to get so many people when she said she was just going to get the account information. They stopped a couple of feet in front of him.“Alrig
Alexander came to a stop in front of the Gustav Emporium and the powerful sound of his engine alerted Laura.She took a break from what she was doing and looked through the store’s front wall which was made out of glass, allowing her to see everything outside.“Who is that?” Laura asked herself as she saw the beautiful Lamborghini parked in front of her employer’s store.The distance between her and the parked car was too far that it didn’t allow her to see Alexander properly. However, from what she could see of him, which was very little, she thought that the person looked quite familiar.She wondered where she had seen the driver before but no matter how much she pondered on it, she just couldn’t come up with an answer. She would have to see more of the profile to know.The curious sales rep stood up and waited, wondering if the driver of the luxurious car was going to come into her store or not. Her bet being on the former because the fact that they were parked so close to the stor
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?”
