After the coffee, Catherine left for the press conference of Samantha.
Mike came back to his cabin and opened his laptop and saw a missed conversation from Alandra. He opened the conversation and it was written:
Where the hell are you? Ping me ASAP.
No wonder David calls her a witch. She is actually one. He thought. He pinged her back on the communicator
"Hi, Alandra."
Alandra quickly called him on a communicator.
I guess this is something urgent otherwise she wouldn't have called me. I picked the call. He thought
"Hey Alandra"
"Where the hell you have been Mike?"
"Actually Alandra the cafeteria kitchen was closed so...'
"Nevermind"
She interrupted him and then continued
"I want you to add an image on the front main page of our site for Samantha Greens press conference which will be happening today later part of the day. Just put the details. I have mailed you the image with the event details. Embed it on the page. There is a hyperlink where the live streaming for the event will take place. Also, I want you to check the network traffic coming from other social media sites to our platform."
" Alandra this will require some time."
" You have 4 hours from now. Just start work."
"Oh ok. Bye Alandra."
She disconnected the call. Mike missed David. He wonders how David used to do all the work within a short span of time. He opened his mailbox and saw the mail from Alandra.
He checked the image and then went to the codebase and added a web part to embed the image on the website. Next was the time to capture the network traffic. He checked the analytics and the dashboard of the site and also check the fiddler logs. After 2-3 hours of analysis, He had everything in place.
After 30 minutes He received another mail from Alandra stating the live stream will start soon and to test the site. He tested the site and the stream was running smoothly. He patted his back thinking this is done smoothly. Since he didn't have anything much to do now he thought of watching the live streaming video.
Samantha was telling all about her charity work for the educational trust which helps the poor children with education. Moreover, she also promoted her upcoming series based on the education system where she is playing the role of a college student who has got a scholarship from an educational institute and has started her college. her struggles in life and the bullying she faced from rich children in college...despite all this, she made to NASA. Really inspiring plot showing her as the real inspiration model for youth.
Mike was really impressed by seeing the press conference interview. Also, he noticed Catherine answering most of the questions based on the movie plot. Catherine knew how to present a good impression of Samantha as a PR executive. Mike was feeling a little tired after the brainstorming of code and all testing and live streaming so he thought of grabbing a coffee. After coffee, it was already the end of the day so he left for his apartment.
After Few Days
Friday Afternoon
It was the day of Samantha's event which is sponsored by XYZ company. Catherine is in LA with Samantha as she mentioned to Mike a few days back. Catherine was supposed to stay in LA till Sunday and was supposed to be back on Monday.
Mike checked their site for making sure the event stream runs fine. The event started in the evening and went on for the next 3-4 hours. The event was a success as he can see millions of people watching it online live.
The day went by and it was the weekend the next day. Mike thought maybe he will go to the mall tomorrow since it's too long he hasn't shopped. So he asked David.
"Hey, David... What's your plan for tomorrow?"
"Netflix and chill bro."
"Then you are coming along with me to the mall tomorrow."
"what? Why?"
"Because you don't have anything to do and I have no company. I am coming to your place at 10 am sharp tomorrow."
"Gosh seriously?"
"Of course. Now move your lazy butt towards home and have a good sleep. I want to see you fresh tomorrow."
Mike waved David goodbye and left for home.
The next Day Mike woke up in the morning feeling quite fresh. He was thinking of the shopping day ahead where he has prepared himself to spend the next 4-6 hours in a mall with David. He decided to dress in comfortable casuals. He had a fresh glass of orange juice and omelet for breakfast. Anyway, I am going to the mall so good food is waiting in the food court for me. He thought.
He booked a cab to David's place. He hoped David is ready. Thinking this he left for David's place.
After 45 minutes he reached David's place. He looked at the neighborhood. David stays in an environment-friendly neighborhood with a lot of lush green gardens. Mike can see people walking their dogs and jogging and listening to music on their headphones. No doubt David is a chilled guy. I guess this is the secret motivation for his chilled attitude.
Mike reached outside David's house's door and rang the bell.
