The plan

I checked online when the customer reception is. It said if I have any questions or problems I shall make an appointment which I can get in 1-2 weeks. Yeah, fuck that. I don't have that much time, it was urgent!
Time was running, it was only 7:23 am and they won't be working till 9:30 am. That's just great.
However, I had to leave with Miles and be away from my father. He can't turn him off from the distance. I have to search for a name. I needed to know who I'm even about to talk to. Who's the man who creates these humanoids. We were in the car, but I was way too nervous to drive. I asked Miles to go to the mall, it was already open and we could hang there for a while. And perhaps, grab something to eat too. My stomach was raging from emptiness. And I could use some caffeine as well.
"Do you even know the name of your creator? I never ever heard about him before"
"Since you haven't been interested in humanoids"
"Well, I'm still not, you're the only one..."
I saw him smiling, it was cute. This man managed to open something inside me. I wasn't worried to show how I feel. I didn't feel tension anymore. And this is what my parents wanted to take away...
"I actually didn't know their name. We never meet him or her. Once we're done, we're out"
"What do you mean by *or her* ? I doubt a woman is capable of making robots at all"
Miles frowned at my comment and poked my side
"Hush. You should never underestimate women. They're pretty smart and creative. Just because you have something, hanging between your legs, won't make you the smarter gender"
He scoffed and I growled slightly. Fine, I'm not some misogynist idiot anyway..
"Oh shut up, you make me feel bad"
"Good, you have to think twice before saying silly things"
I was finally eating. Only some fresh fries and a tuna wrapper but still. I decided to skip the coffee, my belly would hurt more than it was now.
"I wish you could eat too. It's cool, all these tastes and such. You're missing out, I swear."
"Will, I'm missing out a lot more than eating. But since I don't have real emotions, I can't feel sad about it"
Smartass.. but yeah. While sipping my tea, I was thinking. How to approach the CEO himself? Or...herself...
What if they really won't let me meet them? I must! I have a plan but for that I need to know what to say and it's giving me fucking anxiety.
"..the internet only said their surname is Santos. But it sounds more like the janitor. I mean, isn't it like Mexican or something?"
Miles knocked my head gently, but enough for me to feel it.
"What now?!"
"You're assuming too much and you're being racist. Only because someone is not American, doesn't mean they can't be successful. Please get off your high horse"
"Mmm..!"
Him constantly fixing me was kind of a turn on by now, because he was doing it for me to be a better person.  Soon I was done eating. It was time to go to the company and frankly? I needed to appear to be ready. I had to feel confident. Who knows what kind of person I'll have to face.
Once we were there, I needed to talk to the lady at the reception. She was my mother's age. I could tell, it was still early and she didn't really like me bothering her the very moment she just placed be ass down. But I got no time.
"Uhmm.. hello.. , I'm here because I have to.."
"Good morning sir, do you have an appointment?"
She didn't even look up from her phone. Yup, it was still early for her to care.
"Well, no...but this is very urgent. I'm sorry if I knew before then of course I ..."
And there she interrupted me once again. Of course, be rude , not like I mind, right?
"I'm sorry sir, but if you don't have an appointment then I'm afraid there is noth... "
She finally glanced up and went entirely silent. Of course! She probably recognized me after my father.
"I'm so sorry Sir, I didn't know it was you... I'll ask anyone else not to bother you if you have some business."
"Uhm..alright, thank you I guess"
She did a 180 percent change , even lead us to the office. If I want to be honest, she even looked nervous and frightened. I didn't know my family had this effect on people. Once she left, I hugged Miles quickly to get some courage.
"Wait for me here, alright? I'll make it quick.. "
"Are you sure you don't need my support?"
"I do, but you're a distraction in a good way. But man! Did you see how very helpful she became when she saw me!"
I primped my hair with pride.  Now it's time to meet them..
Whatever Miles was saying, I was expecting some middle aged or old man. Not a woman at all. My stomach was in a knot like so many times lately. I can do this..!
I knocked. There came no answer.. I knocked again.. still nothing.
This is fucking ridiculous...
I reached out to the door handle, my palm was already so sweaty.
Now or never...
The door opened so smoothly without noise. I looked around, the office was big as hell! It was full of weird decorations. Or..maybe not decorations. They actually looked like prototypes and some weird blueprints ..
"Hello...? I'm sorry I know I didn't have an appointment but the secretary said it's fine to come in and it's pretty urgent.."
Why would she let me in if there was no one. What the fuck is going on?
"Mr...or Miss....Santos.. my name is William O'Hara, I got one of your humanoids... I'm...here to talk about some business please.."
I was so nervous , I felt like vomiting. But shouldn't. Not here, not now. It wouldn't be a good impression, even if I can't help it.
"..my name is William O'Hara ..I'm here to..."
"I heard it for the first time too"
I looked around again. Finally! I just knew! It was a man. Actually, he sounded pretty damn young...
"I'm sorry sir, I really didn't mean to bother you..but it really is.."
"Urgent, isn't it? I'm sure"
My eyes had never been this open. Even without the coffee I skipped. What
The
Fuck?
The man was sitting at the other table, it was more humble than the huge ass one in the center of the room. But that wasn't the thing that caught my attention.
"Jesus Christ! You gave me a fright... What the hell are you doing here and when did you come in?? Miles. I asked you to wait outside, please. I appreciate that you want to support me but I need to do it alone..so I beg you not to prank me again"
That dude probably followed me while I was looking around. Silly man. But I had to send him out.
"Get your ass up dude and leave. I can handle this"
I said with a nervous smile, approaching him but that stubborn humanoid didn't move an inch.
"Miles. I said, leave. Don't fuck with me now"
I frowned. It wasn't funny anymore. I had a serious business here.
"Nice to put a name to the face who nearly got *my Miles* ruined ."
"I beg your pardon..?"

"You little entitled boy, you thought Mrs Montgomery let you in because she recognized you, right?"
I remained speechless. This man...it..wasn't Miles... I could now see that...
"My name is Hector Santos, this was my father's company and we used to work together but since he retired it's my company now and Miles is my very first humanoid. I knew I shouldn't have given him off. Not to someone like you"
I was in shock. So much that I couldn't even defend myself...
"Yes I heard about your name but not because you're so *famous* , more like because you're a troublemaker who definitely DOESN'T deserve Miles"
As gorgeous as he was, the dude was harsh, straightforward and mean.... And here I am as a dork , wondering, why do they look alike.....
