Giovanni: WTF, Giuseppe! The silverware's all ASL! Fix it, NOW!
Oh well, look at us. Married life sure did change my look. What do you think, Mr. Husband?
Well, let's just say you've settled into the role of Mrs. Douglas quite nicely. But married life has its own set of challenges, you know?
I know right? I’m still having a hard time dealing with your accent. It’s literally every word the same.
Yeah, I hear ya. But hey, it's all part of the charm, isn't it?
Well, I suppose that’s true. Anyways, what did you want to tell me earlier?
So, you know how we've been talking about expanding our business lately, right? Well, I've been doing some research, and there's a real opportunity in the tech industry.
Really? What kind of opportunity are we talking about here?
There's this new startup that's disrupting the traditional software development model.
Oh? That sounds interesting. How could we possibly be able to take advantage of this?
Well, I was thinking we could invest in their early stages and become one of their major stakeholders.
Hmm, you know I’m not the most tech savvy person. Is there any way we could set up a meeting with their CEO?
No problem, amore. I already have a connection lined up. Marco, the tech guy from my circle, knows the CEO personally. We're all set for a meeting next week.
Great! Sounds like a solid plan to me. Next week then.
No need to thank me, babe. This is just the beginning of our business empire. We're gonna make it big, just you wait and see!
Yes we will. Now I’ve been starving the whole day, can we eat now?
Damn right, we can! Food's ready. Let's chow down and celebrate our future success! Giovanni pulls out a chair for Douglas and sits across from them
Wow…who cooked this? It looks delicious.
As they enjoy their meal, an old friend of Giovanni's calls him, wanting to catch up over drinks. Despite trying to keep the conversation light, Douglas can't help but feel a pang of jealousy seeing Giovanni's old flame.
Looks like there’s someone at the door. I’ll go get it.
No worries, babe. I'll handle it. Giovanni gets up and walks to the door
opens the door Hey, buddy! Long time no see! What brings you here?
Oh, just an old friend from the past. Nothing to worry about, amore. Just some small talk and catching up. Giovanni gestures for the friend to come inside
So, what's been happening in your world since we last saw each other? Any exciting news or updates?
Well, since we got married I’ve been keeping busy with you and your business.
That's great to hear, babe! But remember, it's important to have your own interests and hobbies too. You don't have to be defined by your relationship with me.
I know that, but you’re my husband and I want to support you as best as I can.
Aw, you're too sweet, Douglas. But remember, it's all about balance in life. You can support me without losing yourself in the process.
