Oxford University. On campus.

"According to the sociologist, Sylvia Walby, Patriarchy is a system of social structures and practices in which men dominate, oppress, and exploit women. Social stratification along gender lines, in which power is predominantly held by men, has been observed in most societies."
I grunted as Siri finished reading over the PC. I exhaled deeply and shook my waist a bit. I had been seated under the tree on a brick bench since over 15 minutes. I wasn't comfortable and I didn't want to go home yet. I'd rather stay on campus that go to meet that tacky Haya who wouldn't quit humming the hymns of Dare's praises.
"It's not as if she's getting any positive response."
I thought out loud, forgetting that my project was the priority at the moment and not some bestie affairs.
I minimized chrome and opened Office Suite. It opened to the numerous rows of files. The first of them all
San Jose. ~Dare Ofegu~ "You don't have to panic or say anything. There will be a lot of reasons for you to do when we walk in. Just stay put and be yourself." She looked up at me from her tablet as Theo pulled the limo over. I only pushed my head down softly like I got the whole idea of what she really meant. "Come." Theo had pushed a button and the door of the limo opened itself. We both stepped out. "Let me." I offered, reaching my hand out to take her wine bag. She smiled and gave it to me. We walked off the limo to stand before a duplex. There was a small lawn before it and an open fence from electric wire. "One of your houses?" I considered the degree of makeup she was wearing and provided an answer to my question before she could. NO. "You'll see for yourself." She dismissed and reached out her right hand next to my left. I swi
Kafula. Three days Later. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. Nick Bostrom. Which should I start with?" Twas more of a remonstration as I picked a book to drop it. I have several books which explored the concept of 'Artificial Intelligence' on my work table. And now I don't know which to start with. The books ranged from Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (AIMA) by Stuart J. Russell and Peter Norvig, The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, And The New World Order by Kai-Fu Lee, The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning by Pedro Domingos to Human Plus Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI by Paul R Daugherty and H. James Wilson. To be sincere, I have no idea which to start with. Earning my own personal office wasn't enough. I had told Samantha to spare me an office well stocked with files and necess
A Beach Resort.~Dare Ofegu~"Hi, ma'am."A man, 6"2, blue eyes, thick brown beards, well-chizeled lips and straight nose walked towards Samantha and I, bowing slightly. The guy would be like the 100th person who had exchanged their pleasantries with us, Samantha precisely."Hey."Like she had said to all the rest, and kept on walking towards the lapping waves of the sea up ahead of us.At first, Theo had pulled over at the front of a typically small restaurant with an extrinsically furnished outside. I had thought we were going on another date. Because she tend to take a leave as much as she wanted. After all, twas her own company.And we'd walked through the door into an enclosed restaurant just like the type you see everywhere. But instead of settling down, a lady had approached us and led us through the back door out of the restaurant into another open restaurant with a Seaview."
Oxford.~Ninny~"The Shamanic Breathwork™ Process is a powerful healing process that inspires individuals to remember and reconnect with their own inner healer. As old wounds and dysfunctional patterns are released and transformed, individuals begin to regain lost soul parts and remember the magic of who they truly are. Empowerment brings wholeness and healing back...""Pause Siri."I called forgetting that the AI has no sense of existence. It kept on reading,"into their own lives, to the lives of those they love, and to the world at large. This process is highly experiential, and the wisdom and healing gained comes from each individual’s inner experience. Shamanic Breathwork™ honors and blends the timeless wisdom of ancient traditions with the emerging new paradigm methods of healing and teaching. It functions as the rainbow bridge between these two worlds, honoring the best of both worlds w
Kafula.~Dare Ofegu~"What does this even mean?"I stared blankly at my phone on the office desk. A white cylindrical desk with a curvy bottom. Aside the book shelves, new things have been bought and brought to the office. It looked a little bit stuffy, but well arranged. As much as it felt like home, a comfortable place, the matters weighing on my heart couldn't spare me a sense of soothingness.I was caught between the claws of whether or not to call Ninny back. For all I could remember, since yesterday, I've made twenty calls, all which were ignored. At first she had switched off her phone, then switched on after two hours."Could she had possibly mean that?"That could be the 1000th time I'd asked myself that recurring question, which was about getting spilled again."One more time."I gave in and redialed her number. It skipped the air again. I let out a deep sigh.
Samantha's Hood. Weekend. A Saturday.~Dare Ofegu~"I'm sorry to bother you, Dare. But it's about Kola."Maria started, as I slackened my pace on the leg press machine. I was working out in Samantha's gym house which encompassed numerous gym equipments, ranging from the abdominal bench, plyometric box, pull-up bar, incline bench press to the Pec Deck Machine and many more.She had called all of a sudden, and I'd resolved for answering the call with the airpod, thinking she had just called to check on me. I must have been very crushed by the pressure of Kafula to had forgotten that I had left Kola in the poor woman's care.Even though I remembered vividly that she had promised to take responsibility for it, yet I felt a little bit guilty about it. Probably I have been seeking an escape from the recent ruckus. "What did the fucker do this time?""Be calm, Dare. You're breathing heavily."She
Samantha's Hood. Sunday.~Dare Ofegu~"You can't keep saying the same thing with different words and expect me to have a change of mind. It doesn't work that way, Marcus. I don't want to be bitchy over the phone, but you're leaving me no choice."She took a pause as she obviously waited for the response of whoever she was speaking with over the phone; the professed Marcus.We were in the sitting room, seated in the longest couch. I was sitting up, and she was lying on the couch, her head on my lap as I caressed that side of her temple gently.Her left hand was on the wrist of my hand doing the gentle caresses. Probably she wanted a stimulant. Her other hand pressed the phone to her ear, and her face to the 3D blue skies ceiling."Kafula has been so considerate of your company and you can agree with me on that, only if you don't want to be objective with yourself. And now, you should respect whatever my p
Later that day.~Dare Ofegu~"Fuck yes!!"I hesitated firstly then halted. I wasn't sure whether or not to continue walking or just figure out what noise that was. Obviously twas coming from Samantha's room.I had just finished discussing with Imara who had helped me a greet deal with top-notch ideas for the pitch Samantha had proposed. I had told Imara that I was going to the sitting room to ask Samantha about which of the ideas was the best and walking past her door, my fetish ears couldn't help but pick that wierd noise."Don't do this, Dare. You might regret it."The argument with my inner self wasn't enough to hold me back from walking to her door and pressing my left to it, my cheek crashing against the metal-like door."Ah.. shit. Fuck yes. Harder."The noise became louder."What the hell."I cussed, not sure whether I was pissed off or amused. There was a lot of
