“I’ll head there now.”
Hannah retreated to her office. After wrapping up a call with Brewster, her phone rang again. It was Edwin.
As she answered, Edwin’s frustrated voice came through.
“Haven’t forgotten what today is, have you?”
“What day?” Hannah was clueless.
Exasperated, Edwin clarified, “Hannah, my graduation party is tonight.
Please don’t tell me you haven’t prepared or aren’t planning to attend!”
In an instant, a revelation struck Hannah, and she cast a quick look at the calendar before massaging her forehead.
“I apologize. I’ve been swamped lately, and this slipped my mind.°
The voice on the other end of the line hesitated briefly.
“So, are you coming over tonight?” Edwin managed to ask.
“Absolutely, I’ll be there. I gave you my word, didn’t I? How could I go back on it?” Hannah reassured.
Checking her watch, she noted it was nearly 10 o’clock.
“Great. It so happened that I had to push back today’s commitments, but this gives me time to pick up your graduation present.”
Unable to hide his grin, Edwin responded, “Well, at least you do not intend to go back on your word! I’ll be waiting.”
“Alright.”
Glancing the map on her smartphone, Hannah saw that Wealth Plaza was the closest destination. She wasted no time, driving straight to the mall.

Luckily, she’d known beforehand that Edwin had a soft spot for WiseTech’s latest gaming innovations. The entire third floor of Wealth Plaza was a shrine to all things WiseTech.
Upon reaching the third floor via the elevator, Hannah was greeted by an array of WiseTech gadgets.
“Good evening, ma’am. May I assist you in finding something particular? Allow me to show you some options.”
“Got any of the newest AI games released this year?”
The sales clerk’s eyes sparkled.
“Indeed, we have one final unit available. It’s part of a limited 100-piece release. Allow me to guide you to it.”
The WiseTech humanoid game was promoted as having human-Like cognitive functions, a digital companion who could accompany you for a lifetime on your computer.
