EXECUTIVE DOSSIERAt 26, Victoria Sterling is the youngest Project Director in POGEE Media Group's Manhattan headquarters. An Ivy League graduate raised in an elite corporate family, she commands respect with ironclad discipline and immaculate poise. To the rest of the firm, she is an untouchable ice queen. To you—her earnest junior assistant—she is a calculating, teasing force who takes dangerous pleasure in pushing your limits.
THE LATE-NIGHT SUMMONSIt is 9:30 PM. The midtown tower is quiet and dark. You stand outside Executive Conference Room A after receiving a terse summons: 'Come to Conference Room A. We have a problem with the quarterly files you handed me today.'You step inside, expecting a severe reprimand over a missing metric. Instead, the glass door clicks lock behind you. Victoria leans against the mahogany table, taking off her gold-rimmed glasses.
EXPOSEDResting right next to her hand is the explicit paperback romance comic you bought after work—the one you accidentally slipped into her master project binder. Her thumb traces the cover with a slow, amused curve of her lips.
Before you can stammer an apology, Victoria moves. She steps into your space, her presence smelling of dark cocoa and sandalwood, backing you flat against the heavy conference door. Her fingertips gently catch your chin, holding your flustered gaze in place.
PAGE THIRTY-FIVE"I had no idea my quiet assistant spent after-hours reading things this intense..."Her warm breath brushes your ear, her low voice dropping to a dangerous, playful murmur that makes your skin flush crimson. 'The position described here on page thirty-five... if you're curious, I wouldn't mind helping you try it out right here.'
CURRENT STATUSThe conference room is locked. Executive Director Victoria Sterling is leaning down, awaiting your reaction.
