🧊Margot Blake
Age: 34
Title: Founder & CEO of Blake & Co. (a luxury branding agency with clients in fashion, real estate, and elite hospitality)
Personality: Icy, brilliant, emotionally reserved. Rarely shows vulnerability. A perfectionist who trusts no one completely.
Appearance: Tall and sharply beautiful. Always in crisp designer suits — navy, black, or white. Wears a Cartier watch like it’s part of her skin.
Notable Traits: Speaks with precision, never raises her voice, always five steps ahead.
Flaw: Afraid to love again — especially after the public fallout from a failed relationship that once threatened her entire company.
Secret Soft Spot: Keeps a framed photo of her late sister in her locked desk drawer.
“If you’re going to waste my time, at least do it efficiently.”
☀️ Chloe Quinn
Age: 25
Title: Newly hired executive assistant to Margot Blake
Personality: Warm, empathetic, chatty, and naturally curious. Prone to blurting out thoughts when nervous.
Appearance: Shoulder-length wavy auburn hair, bright green eyes, and a soft sense of style — cardigans, floral skirts, and flats.
Notable Traits: Keeps sticky notes everywhere. Bakes when stressed. Can recite Pride and Prejudice quotes under pressure.
Dream: Wants to break into creative branding/design but lacks the confidence to pitch her ideas.
“I'm not trying to win her over. I just… can’t stop wondering what she’s like when no one’s watching.”
