LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 88 The Devil Has A Sweet Side Too
Day Seven…
~~*****~~
'Why do I feel like I'm at a red carpet event,' Abigail thought to herself with her surprised expression. 'Did they intentionally prepare this, thinking that I am an actress who usually attends formal occasions featuring lots of celebrities and artists.'
"Miss Abi, is there something wrong?" Powy asked Abigail when he observed that she stayed rooted on her spot.
"Don't you like the red carpet we prepared for you?" Riemc also spoke up. "Master Ethan told us that you are an actress and you are so beautiful. And he is right!"
Abigail smiled awkwardly. She knew it. These robots did this because she was an actress.
"I'm here to take a photo of you!" GingerAllieAnn, 'the hologram', butted in, greeting Abigail.
"I'm fine. And I like it. It's just that I didn't expect you to prepare this." Abigail moved her gaze around, assessing the two robots and the hologram. They looked so cute and adorable just like their master, Ethan.
"Master Ethan personally requested us to entertain you today. This is our task today. So don't hesitate to ask anything and seek our help. We are here to serve you!" Powy mumbled, inviting her to sit down on the sofa.
"Hmm, sure… Can you tell me your different functions?" Abigail started interviewing Ethan's robotic friends. She wondered if she could use them to gather the information she needed.
"I'm Powy, serves as Master Ethan's encyclopedia and search engine. You can ask me anything and I will do my best to provide you with information."
"I'm Riemc, aka 'the transformer'. I can transform into a car or a dog and many more. I am Master Ethan's source of entertainment. I can sing and dance for you. Serve you a drink and prepare your food."
When the two robots were done introducing themselves, the GAA hologram spoke as it was now her turn to introduce herself.
"I'm GingerAllieAnne. I can hack a server and a web security system. As of now, I am helping Master Nathan to create another prototype. Its name is Star_S. This project is all about a patrolbot mainly responsible for heightening the security."
Abigail's interest was piqued by this amazing creation. She suddenly got curious about them. She wondered why she didn't think of investing in robots and technologies for her guild.
"We also installed a special function on Star_S. This prototype can also be used to locate someone's location through his/her GPS signal or by searching their phone numbers. Star_S can also be a good spy!" GingerAllieAnne informed Abigail.
Abigail gasped in surprise. She was truly amazed by them. How she wished she had invested more in robots. The Syphiruz Mafia wouldn't have easily sneaked into their territory if she heightened their security using these wonderful robots and high technologies.
"I envy Ethan for having such intelligent and extraordinary playmates. Can I have a playmate too?" Abigail mumbled, expressing her admiration for them.
"Miss Abi, you can ask our Former Master, Nathan. He can make you one," Powy suggested.
"Nathan?"
"Yes. It's Former Master Nathan. He is our creator. He made us for Master Ethan. Why don't you ask him to give you one playmate as well." Riemc also supported Powy's suggestion.
Abigail fell silent for a moment. She thought Nathan would not give her any prototype robot like them. It would cost so much to build and create a great quality prototype like them.
Furthermore, Nathan and Abigail were not yet close. She could only get a chance if she would try to do another bargain or deal with Nathan. She would consider asking him to create one for her.
After a while, a certain question popped up in her mind. She was curious whether Nathan created a prototype or a robot for his beloved woman, Monica.
"Powy, Riemc, and GingerAllieAnne… Can I ask you something?"
"Sure Miss Abi. Just tell us what you want to know." The three replied in unison.
"I wonder if Nathan also created a prototype robot for Ethan's mother, Monica. What type of robot did he give her?" Abigail asked them curiously.
"Yes, he did!" Powy responded.
"It's an entertainment robot like me!" Riemc added.
"Its name is BHBW aka BedHeadBookWorm." GingerAllieAnne also joined them.
"BedHeadBookWorm?" Abigail asked them in confusion.
"Lady Monica had trouble sleeping. Former Master Nathan created BedHeadBookWorm for her. Lady Monica liked to read novels whenever she couldn't sleep. To avoid destroying her eyesight, BedHeadBookWorm was assigned to read bedtime stories for Lady Monica." Powy told Abigail what he knew about Monica and her robot.
"BedHeadBookWorm has a soothing voice that can make anyone relax. She was like a lullaby to Lady Monica. BHBW stored lots of books and novels that Lady Monica wanted to read." GingerAllieAnne also reminisced the information she had about them.
"I can still remember the four novels which BedHeadBookWorm was always reading for Lady Monica!" Powy raised his robotic fingers one by one as she enumerated the different novel books.
"First: The Devilish Assassin meets the Angelic Detective."
"Second: The CEO's Wife is A Demon God's Daughter."
"Third: Forbidden Love: Angel's Seduction."
"Fourth: Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge."
Abigail just nodded her head while listening to them. She didn't know why she was asking them about Monica. It felt strange somehow.
"Unfortunately, Lady Monica didn't finish listening to the story of Moon Lovers and the CEO's Wife because she died before they got completed. They are still ongoing novel stories." Riemc added, informing Abigail.
"Hmm, those stories sound interesting. I will try to read them during my free time. By the way, where is BedHeadBookWorm now?"
Powy was the one who answered Abigail's query. "Former Master Nathan brought BHBW to his office. Whenever he feels lonely, he will try to listen to BHBW's storytelling. By doing this, he will feel like Lady Monica is still with him as he imagines that they are both listening to BedHeadBookWorm."
Abigail was rendered speechless again. She couldn't imagine how much feelings Nathan had invested in loving Monica. He loved her so much. She didn't expect that a devil like him was capable of loving someone genuinely.
'I guess… the devil has a sweet side too… but only a few people can see this side of him. I wonder… will I be able to witness his sweet side too? But I doubt. Sigh.'
