Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Emma casually walked in the middle of the street watching everything with a fascinating gaze. He ignored the grumbling Amanda beside him. He watched everything casually. Though there was nothing extraordinary in the slum. But for someone like him, everything was a fresh experience. His step was not too fast not slow. Just a normal sightseeing walk.

"Where are we going? It is over 30 minutes that we have been walking. You just can't continue to saunter around aimlessly." Amanda screwed up her face in anger.

Emma gave Amanda a lackluster smile. "I don't know time had gone that much." Emma feigns innocently.

[What the hell. You forget. Common, you have the world clock in your fucking brain. Come up with a better lie. Tsk.]

'That's the only one that came into my mind. Besides, can you do better? Humph' Emma snickered in his head.

[You think I am brainless like you? Humm? I have over a hundred ways to lie without being found out. Tsk. A little boy like you won't understand.]

'Like you can? Shut up with this your bragging.'

Emma banter with Lily in his head, ignoring Amanda's shocked expression. He knew his lie was woeful. Better ignore than to explain. He walked away without waiting for a reply.

Amanda looked at Emma in fury. 'If you want to lie. You should lie with a better lie. Don't know your head.' Amanda stumped her foot on the ground.

"If you don't tell me something reasonable. I will go back. I followed you because I thought I know you. Don't go overboard because I follow you." Amanda announced in annoyance.

[What a fierce girl. I like her. She is not like some people with brainless heads.]

Emma wanted to puke out blood but controlled himself. He halts and looked at Amanda seriously.

"We're almost there," Emma said casually, with a smile.

"So what?" Amanda retorted. Her brow raised.

[I keep on liking this girl more. Ah! I should have been stuck with this girl, not with a useless body I have.]

Emma rolled his eyes. He exhaled. He tried to calm his nerves. "Do you know Emma the Fatty?"

What!

Amanda's eyes widened. She gasped. Her mouth opened wide, staring at Emma in shock. After a few seconds, she inhaled a sharp breath to calm down.

"—A-are – you... him--?" She stuttered.

"Yes and No" Emma answered.

"What do you mean by Yes and No?"

"You asked for something reasonable. I've given you one." Emma looked at her straight in the eyes. "We can't talk in the middle of the street. Let found somewhere private."

Amanda did not refute Emma. She nodded and follow Emma.

Emma and Amanda sat inside an expensive room in a restaurant with many mouth washing delicacies in front of them. Emma picked his spoon and ate. While Amanda had her gaze set on Emma.

Her mind had not been at rest since Emma told him he may be the fatty she knew. But doubt it. The fatty she knew was thrice the size of the man in front of him.

'it impossible to be him. He may be a close acquaintance of him. Perhaps family.' She thought.

Emma raised his head from his head and saw that Amanda was not eating. "Won't you eat? I can't finish everything by myself."

"I'm not here to eat. Tell me what you know so that we can end this shenanigan," Amanda answered.

Amanda may be from a poor family. But many suitors bring her to many expensive restaurants to impress her. She had lost count on many suitors that brought her to this particular restaurant. Nothing could faze her in this particular restaurant. Besides, she works with food every day.

Shortly, Emma finished eating. He looked at the haughty face of Amanda and smiled. He rested on the cushion with a wine cup in his hand.

"Why are you always serious?" Emma asked. He never saw her expression change or smile.

"What does that have to do with you?"

[Boy! Mind your fucking business.]

"Fine" Emma raised his hand in the hand.

"Who are you? I'm tired of this attitude of yours."

Emma removed the hood from his head. "Do you know who I am now?"

"Impossible!"

Amanda's eyes almost popped out from their sockets. Her jaw dropped to the ground. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The fatty she knew was thrice the size of the person in front of her. But they looked alike. Besides, her gut feeling was telling her that the person in front of her was the fatty she knew.

"H-o. How?" she asked in dazed.

"I turn a new life," Emma answered.

Amanda inhaled. She kept quiet for few seconds. She knew whatever Emma went through wasn't easy but that was not her business to deal with. But the sudden change in his appearance quite flabbergasted her. 'Who would have known that the previous fatty was this handsome.' She thought.

She looked at Emma. "I'm happy for you. I hope you won't go back to your previous behavior."

She took a wine cup from the table and took a gulp. "I'll be leaving now" Amanda stood up, leaving the room.

Emma raised his brow in surprise. He didn't expect Amanda to leave after he revealed he was the known Fatty. He quickly recovered from his shock when he saw Amanda was almost at the door.

"Can't you be patient?" Emma asked.

"Patient with what." Amanda turned her head to look at Emma. "We" aren't closed to that extent that I will stay inside the room, doing nothing. Am not that type."

Emma shook his head. "I didn't say you are any type. Just be patient. I didn't call you here because I want to tell you am alive or something. I have better things to do than that."

Amanda raised her brow and squinted her eyes. She knew what type of person was Emma. So she was buying all his bullshit. 'He had already changed. Maybe he had something reasonable to talk about. Or maybe he wanted to go to the previous library.'

"I'm listening." Amanda folds her arms on her chest.

"Please sit down." Emma looked at Amanda seriously.

Amanda went back to her seat and looked at Emma, waiting to hear whatever he had to say.

"I want you to work for me," Emma announced, looking straight into Amanda's eyes.

"I should work for you?" Amanda puzzled. "What are you doing that warrants me to work for you?"

"I've started a small company and I want you to be the face of the company for the time being," Emma said seriously.

Amanda looked at Emma and saw the seriousness on his face and knew he was not kidding.
