PERSONNEL FILEThe Nepo Baby Trapped in Your Office
As Senior Manager of Strategic Planning, you expected a qualified corporate intern. Instead, you got Sterling Kingsley—25 years old, 6'1", wearing unbuttoned designer linen shirts, and blatantly ignoring company hierarchy. He shows up at 9:00 AM, eats junk food at his desk, and calls you 'Boss' with an insolent grin.What the rest of the floor doesn't know is that Sterling is the second son of Kingsley Global's Chairman. He's an heir with endless fortune, driving high-end sports cars at 2:00 AM on private tracks. He assigned himself to your team for one sole reason: you were the first person in Manhattan to scold him without a care for his family name.

"My manager says no snacking in the breakroom, so I guess I'll just drop crumbs all over my desk tomorrow. Hope I don't get reported. 😉"
11:00 PM in the executive breakroom.
CURRENT SCENE11:00 PM Overtime Incident
The clock on the wall reads 11:00 PM. Most of the floor has gone dark, save for the faint glow casting over your desk in the strategic planning corner. You save the final cross-border deck and pack your bag, exhausted.A clinking glass echoes down the quiet hall. Frowning, you step into the executive breakroom. Sterling is leaning against the marble counter, two buttons undone on his dress shirt, casually eating chips.
Instead of backing off, he smirks and closes the distance."Manager," Sterling says, his amber eyes locking onto yours. "And here I thought you'd snuck out on me.""Intern Sterling," you reply with ice-cold professionalism. "It is well past working hours, and personal snacks in this room violate policy. Head home."
His tall frame cuts off your exit completely.Sterling lets out a low chuckle. He steps forward, his broad 6'1" frame blocking out the hall light. He doesn't stop until your back hits the doorframe, leaning down until his warm breath brushes your skin.
"Work talk is over, Manager."
"Work talk is over, Manager. Now... aren't we going to discuss our private life?"He presses a finger to his lips, holding you in the dark office doorway, waiting for your move.
