Arc 9.8
Keaton had spent the past month checking in on Oliver and Gracie. He could tell they were scheming something, mainly because of the obvious wandering eyes of the female lead. In the main story she hadn't even given a single glance toward the Keaton, even after finding out that he was the future CEO of the company.
Yet after it was presented to her at the party, where she was able to process the infomration and see the benefits did she began to show a hint of flirting.
As for the male lead he looked hesitant, as if he was being coaxed into something that he didn't want to do. Gracie had been called by a team memeber for help and the two were left by themselves. This was the chance that Keaton took to unravel whatever the female lead was up to, even though it was obvious that she wanted to use Oliver to take over the CEO position and have reigns in the background.
"Is something the matter Mr. Heath?" Keaton asked as he raised a perfect eyebrow, his golden eyes looking at him as if he knew but wanted to hear it with his own ears.
"She's... Mis. Kemp is planing something." He finally said after a while, he would look back as if Gracie would pop up any moment, he acted as if she had a secret he didn't want found out.
"We all are, its normal to be planning ahead of time." Keaton said with a smile.
"No, as in... She's planning something bad, and it includes you, me, and the CEO positio." Oliver finally reveals.
"I know." Keaton says with a gentle smile, making Oliver shocked at his answer.
"How?" He asks.
"Her behavior, back then when i was showing her the ropes she acted like a friend, but when my position was revealed she acted different, like if her feelings finally bloomed for me when she had time away tot think about my confession to her." Keaton explained.
"You confessed to her? Do you still like her even after knowing that she's going to back stab you?"
"My feelings was puppy love, it was like a late phase that I didn't develope during my teenage years, and it suddenly happened right now. But there's no issue, I know where my heart is, and he's is full of lies, if you ever need to talk to me about anything, know that I'm here whenever Oliver." Keaton said as he bodded and left the rooted male lead in his position.
"Thank you..." He finally said. "Keaton."
[Become friends with the male lead: completed.]
-
Keaton congraduated himself for being friends with the male lead, now all he had to do to complete the rest of the story is the mistake he made in the past.
He had tried countless of times to make an accidental mistake. But the ghost hovering over his shoulder wouldn't let him.
"Mr. Paterson, you've mistaken that equation." Hiro once again piped up for the fifth time, making Keaton want to kick him out of his home.
But he couldn't, a promise to Takeshiro is a promise he must keep. He was known to keep his promises so he couldn't do anything about it. With a sigh he gave a small thank you to the robot and cursed him in his head for being one as well.
"Take a message to my mother, tell her I will take her out for dinner for her birthday tomorrow." Keaton ordered, hoping that the AI could leave and give him some space.
"Already done sir." The AI said as he sent a message through electronic methods.
"...." Keaton wanted to strangle this AI. "Then go get me something to eat-"
"Ive already predicted your hunger and have already ordered in some take out, they should be here in a couple of minutes." He cleared.
"Well meet them at the entrance, I want you to take it personally from the delivery man." He finally said as Hiro seemed hesitant but either way obeyed the order.
After the AI left he let out a sigh and began to type away in max speed. He was well aware that he had a limited window before Hiro came back. So he needed to do this fast, he made a small mistake and sent it out to all robots world wide for them to update.
Now all he needed wad to wait for it to take effect.
In the mean time he thought deeply about Hiro, wasn't he a little too... Aware of his surroundings. Could it be that Takeshiro had made an AI that was self aware and wanted to lern personally from others to compare and grow from it? But this Hiro in the last story was not known to become self aware, not even when the virus took effect, mainly because he was another model from another company that was starting their own nets of AI.
It could be possible.
"Lunch has arrived Mr Paterson." Hiro's voice sounded behind him as made Keaton almost get a short circuit from the startle.
"Thank you, just call me Keaton, I get tired of always hearing what others call me to gain favor."
"Yes... Keaton." Hiro tested out the name, even though he had said it during the time he had kissed Keaton.
The day had gone by beautifully, no news had started of robots behaving oddly, but that was normal since he hadn't sent to update for a full day now. Time was left to do its job for the duration of the update.
As more months passed by, news began to surface, Keaton and Oliver would get together and talk about the schemes of the female lead and what she was up to currently.
As he had suspected she had something against the male lead that made him do whatever she wanted. And that was the secret of him having a male lover.
In this society, gay amrrive wasn't legal, but it wasn't frowned upon to have a same sex partner. As long as one finished with their so called ohase and got married to the opposite gender and reproduced properly.
But for Oliver, he had wanted to stay with this lover for the rest of his life. Yet society, along with the female lead prevented it, it didn't went into detail about what he had to sacrifice, it even portrayed the female lead as an innocent and ritous woman. One who fought for the happiness for others but trully only cared for her own.
"There's a problem Keaton." Olver had said one day when he was reading the news. "The robots are starting to act oddly, as if they had their own humanity."
"Really? But how is that possible, we made a sequence that prevent self aware AI, not to mention its not possible for that to even happen." Keaton acted the oblivious future CEO.
"I'm not too sure, but we'll have to make a call back and fix the problem before someone gets hurt." Oliver suggested.
"Alright, give the order, I'll prepare everything." Keaton nodded as he dismissed Oliver who hurried with his order.
"Wow brother you sure have a fancy life this time." A sweet voice sounded at the entrance.
"Who are you?" He asked as he glared at the intruder that he didn't even hear coming through the elevator of his office.
"It's me your sister, last world I was named Rosario!" A beautiful woman pranced into the room with a skip to her step as her nice yellow dress flowed down to her knees, her hair a chestnut brown and eyes to match. She was petite but seemed to have a spitfire attitude.
"Last world? I don't know what you mean, kindly leave or ill have security come for you and use force." Keaton asked as he stood up tall, observing her and making sure she didn't do anything unpredictable.
"So mean little brother, but fine I'll go, since I have a mission to restore you memories!" The woman who called herself Rosario declared as she turned to go to the elevator and turned to see Hiro she glared st him in annoyance. "I see you're stuck to him as always, I'll drop by from time to time. I'll leave it to you to protect him."
