Chapter 1
Michaels awoke in alarm. He frantically rushed out of his room and into his en suite bathroom. Emptying his bladder he let out a long sigh of relief. Leaving the bathroom he was met by…
“Good afternoon Michael!” said a disembodied voice. When Jenkins was first installed it had scared the bejeebers out of him but now he was sort of used to it.
“Good afternoon Jenkins”, he calmly replied. “Any emails or phone calls while I was asleep?”
“There were 7 emails 4 of which is categorized as spam The other three are from Daniel Estrisden, Samuel Carlson and a notification from Jupiter Enterprises, 2 phone calls from Sara Estrisden and a text from Annabeth Estrisden.”
Michael passed back through his bedroom subconsciously avoiding the clothes strewn across the floor. He mused on what his family wanted, the email from his father was probably sent by his secretary. His father never contacted him directly. Hmmm 2 phone calls from his mother was not a good sign. Perhaps the text from his sister is to warn him that his mother plans to call him?... Why he received a notification from his father’s work he had no idea. Seeing the trash left over from the party the night before in the lounge and bar area as he walked towards his study he paused and…
“Jenkins?”
“Yes, sir”
“Send the usual email to ‘Mary’s cleaning service’.” His stomach rumbled. Seems like he missed lunch. “Jenkins order choice designation 4 from the ‘Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant’”. A few seconds passed and while waited he sat down in his chair opposite his computer.

“Accomplished, sir… You have received two new emails. Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant order confirmation and Mary’s cleaning service reply.”
“Thanks, Jenkins”
Moving his mouse to turn on the screen Michael proceed to type in his password and log in. From there he clicked the internet browser and then to his email account. Okay, delete the order confirmation it will arrive when it arrives. Mary’s cleaning service:
“Hello, Mr. Estrisden our cleaners shall arrive at 15:30pm. As you have yet to provide a key for our cleaners to use it is required that you be present. If 15:30 is not suitable please reply and state a suitable time.” Huh seems Mary has become more professional last time I emailed her I got ‘be there soon’. 1530 isn’t bad I’ll just hide in here while they clean up the travesty which is my lounge. Okay next, Samuel Carlson:
“Hey BROOO! Sweet party! Now about that wall no matter what anyone says it totally wasn’t might fault Someone pushed me! Well anyway, can’t wait for the next party catch yah then.” Who the fuck is Samuel Carlson!... Okay I’ll check my walls after this. Hmmm now fathers turn:
“Dinner tomorrow. 6pm don’t be late.” Charming as always perhaps he wrote it himself? His secretary’s usually make him sound nicer than he is by making his orders sound like requests… Can’t wait for dinner.
“Jenkins. Set reminder for 4pm tomorrow ‘dinner with parents’.”
“Yes, sir” Now that’s done he can look into what ‘Jupiter Enterprises’ wants:
“Your order of the Gods Online capsule will on Wednesday the 17th of July (2 days away) please ensure that you are present for this delivery. The VRMMORPG game ‘Gods Online will be preinstalled and it will be ready to play at 23:00 your time on Friday the 19th of July before then the character creation service will be open.” My order of what…?
