PROLOGUE
This story took place in Utopian Future, during the year 3024...
The Internet made a lot of things way much easier; even shopping could be done online and buying whatever you like was just one click away.
This was the age of consumerism. People could buy anything, anywhere. Endless consumption makes the world go round.
But who would have thought that a day would come when even ideal partners would be available for purchase?!!!
This story took place in an alternate reality where buying AI robots was a thing.
Failed marriage due to incompatible interests and countless tales of cheating partners, made mos of the younger generation developed a certain aversion towards the idea of entering a romantic relationship.
After all, who would want to invest in love and give their everything to someone, only to get betrayed in the end?
It was for that reason why Alpha Technology Inc created the 'Android Partner'; an AI robot that could potentially accompany its owner for the rest of their lives.
The idea was to give one a company up until their dying days; someone who could stay with them for the rest of their lives. Much like a lifetime partner, less the cheating part.
Since there was no way a robot would cheat its master. If one would want it, they could even treat their robots as their romantic equal. No more dying alone, no more husbands or wives cheating.
BETRAYAL OF A PARTNER WOULD JUST BE A THING OF THE PAST.
And so when they release it in the market, it instantly became a hit!
As long as you got the money, you can get yourself your own 'Android Partner'.
People felt no shame claiming that "I bought my boyfriend online!" Because it was part of the fad
************
"My name is Shantal Norstorme, and shopping is my game.
The 'I-want-it-I get-it' challenge on TikTok is just child's play for me.
Because be it on online shops or physical stores, no one would claim first if I say my name was second for the most shopaholic in town."

"Gosh it's good."Harold said when he got to taste how refreshing the drink was. When he looked at the other two guys, he saw them gesturing to their head but he did not give them much attention."Yes.Sam repeated the same thing with a voice and face devoid of emotion."Something needs fixing."Harold told Sam afterward and so Sam fought back to urge to do and eye roll before replying flatly to him."Okay."This time, Harold noticed that Rico and Michael still keep on doing the same thing so he asked them instead,"What? Is your scalp itchy.""No."The two answered in unison. Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway. Michael, I need you to go to Casterly."

"That robot was sometimes human and sometimes a robot for me and that was why others who can't understand my situation mistakes me as someone who hallucinates and believe a robot as a human just because I am treating it just like one.
