Larry Belmont works in a company that produces robots. Recently, the company will test a home robot. The experiment will be conducted by Larry's wife Claire.
Claire doesn't want to leave the robot at home, especially when her husband is away from home for three weeks. But Claire was persuaded by Larry. He said that the robot wouldn't hurt her and wouldn't let others hurt her. . This will be an unexpected harvest. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt a little surprised. This robot named Tony looks more like a man than a machine. Although his facial expression has not changed, he is tall and handsome, with flat hair and a deep voice.
The next morning, Tony brought her breakfast with an apron and asked her if she needed help getting dressed. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly sent him away. Robots are too human, which makes her feel uneasy and scared.
One day, Claire said that she didn't think she was smart. Tony said Claire must be very unhappy to say such a thing. It is absurd for Claire to think that robots will show sympathy for her. But she began to trust Tony. She told Tony that she was too fat, which made her very unhappy. And for people like Larry who want to improve their social status, her home is not elegant enough. Unlike gladys Clafin, gladys is known as a rich and powerful woman.
In order to make Claire happy, Tony promised to help her dress herself up and make her home elegant and generous. So Claire borrowed a bunch of books from the library for Tony to read or browse. She watched his fingers turn the page in surprise and couldn't help reaching out and touching his fingers. His nails and soft and warm skin surprised her. How ridiculous, she thought. He is just a machine!
Tony changed Claire's hairstyle and makeup style. Tony was not allowed to accompany Claire to the store, so Tony wrote her a shopping list. Claire went to town to buy curtains, cushions, carpets and bedding. Then she went to the jewelry store and bought a necklace. The salesgirl at the counter was rude to her, so she called Tony and asked the salesgirl to talk to Tony. The salesman changed his attitude at once. Claire thanked Tony and said he was a "lovely person". As soon as she turned around, she saw gladys Clafin standing there. Claire thought, gladys found 1, how embarrassing! From the funny and surprised expression on gladys's face, Claire knew that gladys thought she was having an affair: after all, gladys knew that her husband was Larry, not Tony.
Claire came home and sat in an armchair crying with anger. Claire tried to imitate gladys's every move. Tony told Claire that you can be like gladys, and suggested that Claire invite gladys and her friends to come home to play, the night before Tony left to go home with Larry. Tony wants to remodel the house before this.
Tony is engaged in the decoration work in an orderly way. Claire tried to help, but she clumsily fell off the ladder. Although Tony was in the next room, he came in time to catch her. He held her tightly in his arms, and she felt the warmth of him. She screamed, pushed him away and ran back to her room. She never came out that day.
Party night is here. The clock struck eight and the guests will arrive soon. Claire asked Tony to go to the other room. Just then, Tony put his arms around her and bent down to put his face close to hers. She shouted "Tony" and then heard Tony solemnly say that he didn't want to leave her tomorrow. He wasn't satisfied with just making her happy. Just then, the doorbell at the front door rang. Tony released her and disappeared without a trace. Just then, Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtain of the front window. Her guests saw all this clearly.
Claire, her house and delicious food left a deep impression on the ladies. Just before they left, Claire heard gladys whisper to another woman that she had never seen such a handsome man as Tony. What a sweet victory to be jealous of those ladies! Claire may not be as beautiful as them, but neither of them has such a handsome lover.
At that moment, she remembered that Tony was just a machine. She shouted, "Leave me alone for a while!" I ran to bed and cried all night. The next morning, a car came and picked Tony up.
The company is very satisfied with the experimental report that Tony and Claire spent three weeks together. Tony protected Claire from harm. Because of Claire's sense of failure, he wouldn't let her hurt herself. That night, he opened the curtains and let other women see him with Claire. He knew it wouldn't hurt Claire's marriage. However, although Tony is very clever, he still has to make some changes-he can't make women and machines fall in love.
