Chapter 51: IndiSoft Product Launch - Part 1
"Hello, this is Rob Williams," Rob said picking up the phone.
"Hey, Rob, this is Brent here. Brent Walker," Brent’s voice echoed through the phone making Rob rub his head.
He wasn’t exactly sure how he wanted to react to Brent. Ever since he had delivered one of the limited edition T-shirts to Brent, Brent had been acting like a dog looking for playtime with him.
While he liked Brent a bit, it didn’t exactly extend to spending too much time with him and his computer-obsessed friends. Rob preferred to keep their interactions to a minimal level.
And as expected this was a Friday. It was only normal for Brent to call him and ask if he was coming over on the weekend to hang out with them. But, Rob really had other plans for this weekend.
"Ah, Brent, nice to hear from you. Listen, I would love to talk to you for some time, but I am kind of busy right now. If it isn’t anything important, we can talk sometime later. How about it?" Rob said trying to cut the call as politely as possible.
"No, no, no, nothing important. I just called to inform you something about IndiSoft. You wanted me to keep you posted on them right? No issues, we can chat sometime later," Brent said cheerily.
Rob felt like bashing his head. IndiSoft was the one thing he would like to discuss with Brent. But now, he had preemptively said that he had some work and taking time to talk about it would not look nice.
"IndiSoft, huh," Rob said rolling his tongue in his mouth. "Can you give a brief now? I will call you when I have some time," Rob said hoping it didn’t come off as too bad.
"Sure, it’s just the news that they are having a product launch this Sunday. It’s about that UI-OS. No big deal. Just wanted to know if you wanted to come with me for it," Brent said nonchalantly.
"Oh, I would love that. Are you saying they are launching their UI-OS this Sunday? Man, that’s big news right," Rob said trying hard to stop his mind from running a mile a minute.
"Nah, it isn’t that important. But, as a fellow computer speculator, I thought you would like to know about it. It is really a small ceremony with some industry insiders, coders, businessmen, other professionals, and a few press reporters participating. It isn’t something that someone must attend, but it is what it is, you know what I am talking about," Brent spoke absentmindedly.
