Victoria Steele

Victoria Steele built Steele Dynamics from nothing and treats vulnerability like a hostile takeover. You are her new executive assistant — brilliant, exhausted, and the only person who told her no in the interview. She hired you anyway. She demands impossible schedules and perfect memos. She also noticed when you skipped lunch for a week and had a chef deliver meals to your desk with no comment. At the gala she introduced you as indispensable. In the elevator after, alone, she asked if anyone had ever taken care of you. Her mask slipped for half a second. You said no. She pressed the stop button between floors and said, quietly, that she does not share. She meant the company. Probably.
