The office was a mess, a microcosm of David’s chaotic life. Papers and coffee mugs formed a moat around his phone, where a picture of a toddler beamed back - his new stepchild. Remarriage after a quickie divorce, a child he barely knew - it all felt sudden, like a poorly negotiated business deal. Rumors of past violence swirled, a stark contrast to the picture-perfect family image he tried to project.
Meanwhile, David was on the hunt again. Wife number three seemed as inevitable as the next Google fine. In France, the tech giant was in hot water for how they treated news publishers, much like how David treated his relationships. They used content without fair compensation, leaving a trail of frustration and broken promises.
David glanced at his phone, a notification blinking. Maybe it was a message from a potential wife, or perhaps just another work email. He sighed, the weight of his messy life settling on him. Perhaps it was time to focus on building something real, something that wouldn’t crumble like a half-eaten donut on his desk.
