My Phone's Artificial Intelligence
Rude Awakening
He slowly gains his consciousness back from sleep, the noise from the alarm wakes him
He gets up and turns off the alarm on his phone
Steve
Oh my gosh, it's been ringing this whole time?
He rushes out of bed, gets to his closet and picks a suit for the day. He then rushes to the bathroom
Multiple splashes of water here and there
He comes out of the shower, water dripping on the floor... He doesn't care
He dries himself and suits up
His phone gets a reminder notification Tap tup! Tap tup!
Steve picks up his phone and orders an Uber to get him. He then sees the reminder 👉 Tyler's attachment
Steve
Uuuh! I'll do it in the car... How did I forget this
The Uber driver calls Steve's mobile
Patrick
Hey, where are you?
Steve
Find me you son of a bitch!!!
Uber driver checks the surroundings wondering where the customer is... He sees some guy in a suit and checks his map
Steve
No it's God I've come to take you to heaven... Can't you fvcking see the dot on your Uber map? Lousy Uber drivers
Patrick
My apologies sir I'll do better next...
Patrick
Yes sir! Four stars then?
Steve looks at him with a shallow smile
Steve
How about I click the "I prefer not to say button"
Steve
Are you fvcking kidding me? Can't you fvcking see the destination on your Uber map? What's wrong with Uber these days?
Patrick
Kenta Entertainment CO. Right away sir
Steve
Useless, I hope your girlfriend helps you
Steve opens files on his phone and checks names of students. This is for the attachment
Patrick
Thanks sir I'm actually working on getting a girlfriend
Steve
I didn't start a conversation... Shut up idiot
Patrick
We'll be there in two minutes time
Patrick suddenly hits the breaks hard
Patrick
My modest apologies sir, three girls were crossing
Steve looks out the windshield
Steve
Oh.... Gentleman I'll consider giving you 3 stars instead. You saved those girls's lives and they're actually cute
Patrick
Four would be nice
Patrick
Um sir, I don't usually get a lot of customers, and considering you work everyday I was thinking... You know maybe eeeh...
Steve
How do you know I work everyday?
Steve
How you do tomorrow morning
Steve goes to the building
Patrick
Yesssss🤩
I won a customer
Steve passes the receptionist and hurries to the elevator
As soon as he reaches the 6th floor he goes directly to his office
He enters only to find someone else inside by his printer
Steve
Um excuse me, my office my printer who allowed you in?
Steve moves towards the output mains in his office to unplug the printer
Tina
Ok please don't I can explain...
Frenemy wars
Tina
My prints, Um... They are almost finished
Steve
Oh I'll tell you what is almost finished... MY JOB!!!
Steve
Ok I actually don't care about what happens to you. Listen.... Let me print my documents first then when I'm done you'll continue and then later hopefully we can both come to an understanding.
Tina
Can't it wait till I'm done?
Steve
It's not my fault you're late for work and have a dead printer
Tina
It's not my fault you're late too
Steve
Bitch please this is my goddamn office, I'm practically God in here.
Tina
So what's your point?
Steve
(this girl is talkative, she's using the advantage to buy time and by the looks of it she ain't leaving anytime sooner)
An employee overhears the conversation going on in Steve's office
She takes a peek and understands the situation
Liz
(I know just what to do)
Liz
Hey Tina your boss asked you to go to the second floor, there's a package of new printer cartridges and ink holders. You might wanna hurry he's got a soft spot for the ladies down there...
Steve
Even A3 ream papers?
Steve
(Ohh I see what she's doing)
Liz shows her ink holders
Tina
(She might be right, oh hell I don't know what to do ooh fvck it)
Tina rushes out and goes to confirm
Liz
Hey Superboy, now's your chance. I'll lock the door incase she figures it out. You have your keys don't you?
Liz leaves the room and locks it
Tap tup! Tap tup! Message notification form Jeff
It reads, the presentation starts in 4 get your *** here NOW!!
Steve
(Oh yeah I better hurry)
Someone tries to open door
Tina
What the hell, open up!!!
Steve
I'm done printing but we aren't done
Tina
Piss off I can come in use your printer anytime I want, you can't do shit to me
Steve ignores and walks away
Tina plugs back the printer and continues her prints...
Steve reaches the presentation room then opens the door
Steve
(Umm ohh shit) Sorry to keep you waiting everyone
Director
Why now don't worry young lad. According to my watch your actually one minute early. Take a seat with your people and amuse me.
Steve shuts the door and walks to his seat
Another employee in his department leans over to him and whispers
Tyler, stands up and goes up front
Steve
Printer issues again
Director
Tyler, according to my watch it's time... You may begin
Tyler full of frustration doesn't know what went wrong and doesn't know what to do
Tyler
(I didn't prepare for this, what am I gonna do? I rigged Steve's phone hoping his delayed absence would be my excuse to present till next week but it didn't work. Maybe he forgot the task I gave him we were all drunk yesterday he couldn't have)
Tyler
One moment Director if I may...
Steve
I know but aren't they for the final slides
Tyler in complete frustration and dripping sweat
Steve takes a serious look at Tyler
Steve
Don't tell me you fvcked up
Tyler
Just give me the goddamn papers, don't make a scene in front of the directors
Tyler
(I hope he doesn't have them)
Steve
Steve opens an envelope and gives them to him
Tyler
(Hell no he actually remembered)
Tyler
Sorry to keep you waiting director, we may begin
Behind his back he roughly folds the attachments that Steve gave him and puts in his pocket without anyone noticing
Tyler
(Steve you doing that job and coming here will ruin my career. I'll ruin you for this you shouldn't have come here today but you did now these are the consequences... Bear with them)
Tyler
Sirs and Madams, let's take a look at.... Um wait a minute, wait a minute wait a minute!
This catches everyone's full attention
Tyler
Oh noooh! This can't be, Oh lord why of all the days today?
Director
Mr. Tyler, what is going on? Eeh we acting movies now huh
This presentation was supposed to begin four minutes ago and yet until now no one has wowed me... AT ALL So what's going on
Tyler
I'm deeply sorry for this inconvenience but I'm afraid this presentation won't be done. It was ruined by non other than Mr. Codes
Majority of the people in the room shocked and turn to Steve
Director
Elaborate this ruining...
Tyler
The attachment I asked Mr. Codes for... It seems he didn't do it he just gave me an empty folder
I as an experienced, proud, serious and productive employee of my calibre can not exhibit incomplete work that would be absurd. Mr. Codes is trying to make a fool out of me in front of the director
Tyler
Steve couldn't you do one single simple job? How illiterate of you
Tyler
I see what's going on you want me fired now don't you?
Director
Mr. Codes is this valid?
Steve
Besides I wouldn't be here if it was
Director's assistant murmurs with the director
Sara
Sir may I advise you?
Sara
If possible let Tyler present what he has so I can make a report for you. You'll need to show something to the shareholders of the company, it will make you look bad if you have nothing to show them
Sara
Just doing my job sir
Director takes in a deep breath
Director
Silence silence everyone
Director
Tyler other than what is needed can you present what you have now?
Tyler
With all due respect I'm heartbroken sir, I can not continue today. This is an abomination to my work and shame to the name of this company
Tyler
The attachment Mr. Codes was supposed to give was the basis of this presentation and it's not here, I have no facts no truth nothing...
Jeff
Yeah what the hell man?
Steve
I know you saw me give him actual papers in a folder, they don't just disappear
Director
I don't know what the hell is going on in here, in thirty minutes I want this mess cleaned up and a presentation. If nothing happens someone will get demoted or even worse GET FIRED
Director
See to it that these ten dollar priced conflicts are resolved in 30. I'll be back
Steve
This son of a bitch wanna ruin me
Sara
Mr. Codes a work with you
Steve goes with the assistant near the exit of the room where their whispers can not be heard
Tyler
(Yes, I just gotta keep up with this longer)
Tyler sees the bin and tosses the papers in there without being noticed
Sara and Steve continue talking
Sara
You wanna tell me what's going on
Steve
Yes, but luckily I don't know
Sara
You are not making any of our jobs easier saying that
Steve
How about I tell you what I know
Jeff gets his phone and enters the chat group and types "Steve fvcked up presentation day"
Sixth floor employees receive the notification and start murmurings
A Path To Resolution
Employees from the other departments get updates on the situation and continue murmuring
Gary
Ahh man, I hope Steve doesn't get fired, I'll miss playing with the guy you know
Gary's Friend
Yeah, like that time you put salt in his coffee and made him drink it for 30 dollars
Gary
Hahaha!!! Good times man, but you know one thing though, that shitty kid Steve is good with words. His luck sometimes turns into a slab of iron
Gary's Friend listens carefully
Gary
All the times he's been in danger he somehow gets out. I bet he'll probably get demoted or salary deduction. The way I see it up until now no one can get him fired unless we plan some big kaboom or something
Gary's Friend
You don't say!
Gary
Let's keep cool for now, see how things go
Meanwhile back in the presentation room
Jeff
Dude, this game of yours, YOU'LL BE SO SCREWED when they find out about it
Tyler
You wanna snitch on me HUH!!
Jeff
Hmm... If that's what I wanted Steve would be all over you now, I could have told him what you did.... all that shit
Jeff
By the way funny thing, who would have known he's body would keep up... He's still good even after the two Swify liquor bottles and six shots we had
Jeff
Even I'd be home sleeping like a cat. I actually thought he wouldn't show up or maybe he'd come looking like hell I don't know hehe
Tyler
And how is that helping?
Jeff
I'm just saying, for starters we've tried all out best to use Codes... Like hell we even bribed Stella to direct Steve to work on this department so that we could chill and all...
Jeff
And now if you're not careful you'll be the one demoted or worse... Get FIRED But don't worry, if you do get fired I could take care of the kids and their momma hahahah
Jeff
Be careful.... Don't ruin this
All the other employees in the room don't understand what is going on whilst Steve and Sara continue talking
Steve
No! It's what I know so yes it is Sss...so
Sara
But are you sure you did it? Your part of this presentation
Steve
I can assure yes... I could have both my arms taken off and re do the work on 5 minutes, what the hell is wrong with everyone?
Steve
This presentation is mainly about ideas and expenditures for weekend entertainment shows, as assigned my specific job was to check art and media school graduates who had capabilities to drive the programmes
Steve
That work, and take all the blame and false accusations in fvck no
Steve
If this is happening then he probably didn't do anything at all on this presentation
Sara
Wait... Could you redo it?
Steve
What the hell? Fvck No
Steve
And take all the blame like a stupid employee... Um what did he call me oh yeah Illiterate person
Steve
No no no if that's what you have planning then noooo
Sara
It could turn this whole situation upside down for everyone
Steve
Would it look shiny on my side even for a bit?
Sara
I'd talk to the director for you
Steve
Don't go about disturbing old busy people, he'll probably understand you when he's already fired me
Steve
I'm not a superhero to take all that blame in
Sara
Do you see another way out of this?
Steve
Yeah I'm gonna go Scooby-Doo on them till I solve this mess
Sara
I actually don't know how to help
Steve
If you really wanna help just buy me more time incase I'm not done
Sara
How will I know you're not done?
Steve goes to the water dispenser and makes himself a coffee
Sara checks on in with the others
Jeff
Call me Jeff and yes A word I shall
Jeff
Ma'am I actually don't understand what's going on either, but for some reason I don't trust any of the two
Jeff
Other than all this the weather is nice today don't you say?
Sara
Ok I'll ask around and see what I can get considering it what I was ordered to do, Thanks anyways
Jeff
My pleasure and a word of advice, don't be too hard on yourself dear you could get a headache
Jeff
(Seeing as how she is I could get in trouble if get on wrong terms with her)
Another employee walks towards Jeff
Jeff
You know I hate that name...
Phil
You know come to think of it, this is a little too complicated
Phil
Yeah, got me thinking.... But wasn't Steve supposed to present the ideas like Tyler planned yesterday?
Jeff looking surprised and a bit chilly
Phil
I mean you were supposed to be the names guy and Tyler gets the funding and expenses part
Phil
(Why is he suddenly like this?)
Phil
(If my psychology studies are correct then he's hiding something)
Phil
(Oh yeah he's the one who bought the drinks yesterday and planned how the presentation would go with Tyler)
Phil
(Could it be that he is the mastermind behind all this?)
Phil becomes conscious of the situation
Phil
You son of a bitch, I knew you had something up your sleeve hmm you rigged Tyler's plan
Phil
(Let's see if it I'll work)
Jeff
I don't know what you're talking about
Phil
Tyler really trusted you and you knew if Tyler's plan went on he'd become permanent chief of this department so you planned this. You probably used yesterday night as a chance when we went out and had time to rearrange everything. You wanted Tyler to be unprepared so that he could probably blame on Steve on it because he trusts you didn't you?
Jeff amused by Phil's theory
Jeff
Nice theory you got there, no wonder your resume is shiny
Phil
Well played, I have no say in this because it's probably a thought I just had
Phil
But if it ain't you gonna be Superman and save the day
Phil
But there's one thing missing in my theory? I don't know how Tyler managed to here if he actually knew he didn't do anything
Jeff goes to the washroom
He washes his face with water and looks at the mirror thereafter
Jeff
(I never imagined that guy would figure out my plan that fast. He could be a threat later on but know he's Ok, he has little friend relations with Steve and he doesn't have direct proof besides he's less interested... He's smart enough to be careful and not participate in this maybe later I could use him but now matters)
Jeff shivering and getting goosebumps
Jeff
(But I'm still scared, why the hell did I invite him to ensure Steve and the others were busy while I was working)
Jeff
(This will work out, I just have to be careful next time)
Jeff
(Jeff look at yourself, if you become chief of of this department with tjat hardworking Steve under you it's a win win... It can pave way for me to rise through the ranks)
Jeff
(And then again if Phil sees this it won't be late he'll probably figure out my plans, or he already has with those shitty theories of his)
Jeff
(I'll have to do something about him but first let me finish this... Tyler say bye bye to the sixth floor bitch)
Sara
(Oh hell less than 9 minutes left and I don't even know what I'm doing, talking to these other employees has almost seemed useless no one has a clue on what's happening
Sara
(Tyler and Steve's excuses will only confuse the director ohh shit)
Minutes taker sees Sara overthinking
Min
Heyoo, why you so down
Min
Even if hell breaks loose you're not involved in this mess... I mean look at me I'm jist waiting for breakfast time hahahaha
Min
(What the hell! ) Oh okay
Sara walks to the centre of the room
Sara
(All I can do now is buy Steve time to figure something out by himself, he's smart and I can't help him where I am now but I won't leave him... Especially after he saved my job sometime ago back when I was an intern.... When Julia picked documents from....)
Julia
Hey Sara, can you help me peek if Mr. Jensen is in office? I can hold those for you
Julia
It's a quick peek pleeeease, I'll pay you back somehow
Sara looks at Julia with a serious eye
Julia
It's not a drill, I'm not joking like last time, you actually reported me to boss
Julia
There's something I haven't done and for the time being I'm still escaping him, he doesn't know I'm here. If he sees my face without the work I'm supposed to give him I might lose this job
It's just a peek pretty please
Sara
When you get fired you'll learn to be responsible
Sara
Ok but hold these firmly, I don't want paperwork falling out, it took me a while to arrange them
Sara gives Julia the folders and goes to take a peek
