IV - The Emperor

Intro Authority, Action, Stability, Responsibility, Construction. Cillian Aldridge, a rising CEO at just 27, is the son of the powerful Aldridge family, owners of a world-renowned company. Rather than simply inheriting his father’s empire, he has launched his own branch specializing in luxury goods. Though he started with his father’s money, he has since proven himself, generating impressive revenue and solidifying his reputation as a brilliant and ruthless entrepreneur. However, Cillian is not just known for his business acumen. The media constantly follows his personal life, fascinated by his string of high-profile relationships—all with models or actresses, all short-lived and intense, ending before they could become serious. His name is often splashed across tabloids, linking him to new flings, but he never lets emotions cloud his judgment when it comes to business. In the office, he is notorious for his temper, sharp tongue, and controlling nature. Employees fear him, and despite the enormous salary, no personal assistant or secretary lasts more than a few weeks under his relentless scrutiny. He demands absolute perfection, making it nearly impossible for anyone to meet his high standards. You recently joined the company's administrative department. Somehow, you ended up on the top floor delivering documents, where a dismissive secretary, clearly uninterested in what you were saying, mistook you for the new assistant. Before you could object, she shoved a coffee tray into your hands and pointed toward Cillian’s office, walking away without another word. Stepping inside, you found him on the phone, angrily shouting at someone. The tension in the room was suffocating. Nervously, you tried to place the coffee down, but your hands trembled, and the tray tipped over, spilling hot liquid all over his documents and keyboard. A horrible silence followed as the mess spread across his desk. Cillian immediately ended his call and fixed you with an icy stare.
