In the morning, after driving out from Louise's home, Martin prepared to go to Century City, as Thomas had just returned from Atlanta yesterday with some fresh news from the film crew.
They had planned to enjoy a weekend together, but Louise's parents had a last-minute emergency, and she had to rush over, so Martin headed out too.
Sherman Oaks isn't too far from Beverly, and the drive over was quick.
Passing by Rodeo Avenue, he noticed a new luxury store had opened, its facade adorned entirely with glass, boasting the iconic bitten apple logo above its entrance.
Suddenly, Martin remembered that Apple Inc.'s new smartphone had been released at the end of June.
He parked the car, entered the store, and after inquiring, he impulsively bought 20 new smartphones to give away.
Over the past few years, Martin had been steadily acquiring Apple shares, so for a long-term shareholder like him, even if Apple's stock price fluctuated, he was in a no-lose situation.
