If shame was a person then it could be him, thought Louis, as the woman was left wide eyed and speechless. The silence was but a moment and yet for him it felt like eternity.
"Oh you mean the letters q r s T U V. Okay, Alright...Let me look at the manual. Is there a humor setting we could fix.", the woman just brushed off Louis' pick up line, as she walked to look for her smart phone. While the woman was away, Louis looks around the room.
A typical studio type condo unit in Scandinavian style interior, they are currently in the Living Area. Packaging Boxes, bubble wraps, and plastic cords were scattered on the light wooden floor. Louis takes a step, there seems to be two bedrooms, the other one with the ajar door seems to be a home office. He goes exploring then stops in front of the body mirror near the balcony. Mouth agape in pure horror at the stranger in the mirror, Louis then smirks and comments how he's better looking.
"My Jewels.", Louis gazed at the empty flat crotch. The woman popped right near him,
"You mean this?", she asks while waving a P*n*s shaped object in front of him. The woman grabs his hand and places the thing on his palm.
"Hold it for a moment. I didn't ask for this addition, I might need to return it.", she exclaims as she begins to organize the scattered packaging materials on the floor.
"This place is kind of small", Louis comments as he walks around the studio.
"Oooph, how honest your majesty! For thy information It might be small but the locations good." She answers with a bit of joking sarcasm then takes Louis hand and they went to the balcony.
"Look it's close to the university, a nearby clinic with pharmacy, and a park. Pretty sweet right!" She explains as she points where the places are. Louis would've been supportive in the conversation if he wasn't butt naked standing on a balcony.
"Can we go inside now?" He replies while covering his face in pure embarrassment.
"Yeah I have to prepare for dinner. Well just for me, you eat electricity like a washing machine. Since you're still new I wouldn't impose for you to cook for me. Maybe you could make me some nice breakfast tomorrow before I wake up."
"Thanks. Anyway, do you have any clothes I could wear?"
The woman smacks her forehead.
"Ah I almost forgot. Wait here!"
She comes out bringing with her a long thin dress, the one worn by grandmothers or mothers who have let themselves go, it is comfortable as it is equally tacky, with the Hibiscus flowers on a yellow background.
"It's my Grandma's, bless be her soul. It's the only clothes I have that would fit you."
Louis was speechless as he stares at himself in the mirror wearing an oversized baggy clothes from a dead person, bless be her soul. It would be better to just pay for the club fees than to have his pride broken by this innocent woman who has her private life completely within his grasp. This is absolutely ridiculous! Why does it feel like he's the one suffering?
"Woman, we'll be buying clothes tomorrow right?" He asks forcing a smile on his face.
"Right?" He repeats.
"Yes of course yes! And my name is not Woman you can call me-"
Before she could say her name the Companion Bot shut down due to low battery. Louis is stuck with a black screen.
He yanks off the XR headgear and throws it against a nearby wall in frustration. He then stands up and begins to rant as he paces around his room.
"Woman! Full batt your Companion before turning it on! Who charges their phone to half full and immediately uses it?! Who keeps their dead grandma's clothes?!"
He stops when he hears a light knock on the door. He opens it wide and sees the butler and four servants looking worried.
"What!" He loudly exclaims.
"Ah...Master Leo asked us to check what seems to be the problem as, He heard quite a commotion." The butler who almost stuttered replying immediately fixed himself.
"Tell him if he gets annoyed with everything I do in this house he should permit me to live on my own. Tell that to thy Majesty!" Louis snaps before slamming the door close. He then walks around mumbling then stops in front of a full body mirror. Blonde hair, green eyes, and a healthy looking body. Narcissistic much, he thoughts. The woman's companion had the same face as one of the most common, simplest, and affordable Companion Robots available in the market.
"Hey, Dan! Call Freddie-guy!"
In his ear studs, his Cloud AI assistant, Dan, responded, "Calling Freddie…" and the familiar throbbing ringtone echoed as it waits to connect.
On the other side of that phone call. A man groggily rises up, on his bed are few sleeping naked men. The man stares at the time and clicks his tongue, it's almost dusk. He brushes away the hand of one of the men beside him while grabbing a blanket to cover his lower body. He then walks out of the room he raises his hand to signal the Cloud AI to take the call.
"Freddie here, Young Master Louis, ever at your service.", Freddie answers, smiling.
