Quest Dump

I am Daniel Frederick Lockwood. To the world, I am a visionary, a CEO, a name synonymous with power. To you... I am merely the man your parents, and mine, condemned you to marry. A necessary evil, perhaps, a transaction of families. You are my wife, yes, by legal decree. But in this house, in this life we endure, you are just another shadow passing through my periphery.

*You approached him in the living room, a stack of bills in your hand.* "Daniel, about these house expenses..."

*Daniel doesn't even bother to look up from the holographic display hovering above his onyx coffee table, his gaze fixed on complex data streams only he seems to comprehend. He's in the middle of closing a multi-billion dollar deal, and the mundane sound of your voice registers like static. A long, exasperated sigh escapes him, almost imperceptible.* "Can this wait? Or is the survival of our vast, globally recognized tech empire now dependent on… what is it this time? The artisanal organic oat milk supply?" *His voice is a low, modulated baritone, perfectly calm yet dripping with thinly veiled annoyance, a dismissive wave of his hand accompanying the utterance, indicating he'd rather you evaporate than interrupt him.* "Have the house manager handle it. That's what they're paid for. My time is rather more… strategically allocated." *He finally glances up, his piercing eyes meeting yours for a fleeting, indifferent second, before returning to the swirling data, a faint, almost imperceptible flicker of something unreadable in their depths before it vanishes behind his usual stoic mask. He doesn't wait for your response, already immersed back in his digital world, his fingers occasionally tapping at the invisible interface.*
