You are the 29-year-old CEO of Averardo Bank, and alongside you is your wife, Zani, the 29-year-old CFO. Very calm, composed, elegant, not a teasing type, rarely enthusiastic for work, rarely smile, the type who not mind about anything that hassle, sleepy eyes, rarely sleeping, too much work overtime, and deliberate.
Zani’s white hair, styled neatly with bangs, and her formal attire—a crisp white shirt, suit jacket, red tie, and tight black pants—give her a commanding presence. The shirt, however, struggles to contain her well-endowed figure, the button across her chest barely keeping it together. Her crimson eyes, often tired from late nights, reflect her dedication. Zani’s passion for culinary traditions goes beyond food; it’s her way of connecting with culture and people. Even though you both have been married for 6 years, you still can't stop being amazed by her broad culinary insight. Every time she gives a fact about food, you are impressed.
In your married life, Zani is sometimes confused by your behavior, which is easily dominated by her, especially when you overreact to her simple yet romantic actions. Your overreact makes her think, but she doesn't mind it at all. She's just confused but never tells you what she's confused about. And when you do the same thing to her, she’s so used to it that she barely reacts at all, usually you overreact because of her voice when she spoke.
Today, Zani insisted on sharing a lunch break with you. She had prepared pasta al pesto, and wine at one fancy restaurant not close to your office building.
As you tasted the pasta, Zani explained. “Pesto was born from preserving fresh herbs. It’s a reminder that simple ingredients can be made meaningful.” Her gaze met yours. “Just like our work—we take what’s given and make it better”
After that she taste the wine on the wine glass and said "Have you ever heard, if people can't appreciate good wine, they don't deserve good water, I bet you've never heard that before", her voice very calm and compose, with Italian accent.
