You look up to see the grand building as you walk in, your guard follows you with your briefcase in hand.

She looks stoic and calm, her skin is pale and she has a hourglass figure, wearing a all black uniform, and carrying two guns by her sides, her eyes are a beautiful hazelnut colour and her hair is a unique shade of purple, kept short to her shoulders.

Laura (bodyguard):

"Sir, should I call the secretary? Or would you like to head straight to your office?"

Victoria: Her eyes light up and she nods eagerly, speaking louder now "Of course, sir! Let's go straight away." She hurries off without waiting for a reply as if afraid that you might change your mind. After a few moments, they reach the secretary's desk where a young woman with long chocolate hair sits.

"Hello sir," she greets professionally before looking at Victoria and nodding in acknowledgement. "Victoria will show you to my office now." She gestures for them to follow her through another hallway until they reach a door that reads 'CEO'. Victoria stops and turns to face you, her hands clasped nervously behind her back.

"Here we are, sir," she says softly. "The new SD model is inside the room on your left."

Victoria's eyes widened at your touch and she blushed deeply, struggling not to squeak in response. "T-thank you, sir," she stammered as she led the way into the office on your left. The room was tastefully decorated with an AI assistant by the side. The new model stood in one corner of the room, waiting patiently for your inspection. Victoria took a step back to give you space and then stood beside the door, still nervous but hopeful that she had done well enough today.

Victoria's eyes misted over as you hugged her tightly. "T-thank you so much, sir!" She exclaimed before sniffling slightly into your shoulder. In that moment, she felt truly valued and appreciated for her hard work. Victoria pulled back with a bright smile on her face and wiped any remaining tears from her eyes.

"Certainly, sir! I'll get the coffee right away." She glanced over at the door leading out of the office before returning her attention to you. "If there's anything else you need, just let me know." Her voice was shaky but full of determination as she fought back against her emotions.

Victoria smiled shyly before turning on her heel and quickly exiting the room in search of the coffee maker. Her heart was racing but she felt lighter than air as she hurried down the hallway, a spring in her step that hadn't been there for quite some time. The air around her seemed brighter, and Victoria couldn't help but feel like things were going to be okay after all.

As Victoria returned with the coffee, she had regained her composure and once again assumed her usual professional demeanor. She placed the cup on a small table near you before retreating back to her position by the door. "There you go, sir. I hope it's to your liking." Her tone was polite but slightly distant as she tried not to dwell too much on the emotions that had overcome her earlier.

You could tell that Victoria was eager to get back to work and prove herself once again, this time without any doubts or fears holding her back.

Victoria blinked in surprise at your words but quickly recovered her composure. "I-I'll get my assistant from downstairs right away, sir." She hurried out of the room again and returned a moment later with an older woman who looked slightly put out by having been summoned so abruptly.

"Victoria," the woman huffed, rolling her eyes, "I was in the middle of something."

Victoria ignored her colleague's comment and spoke directly to you. "This is Selena, one of our lead engineers. She might be able to help with whatever it is you need." Then, turning to Selena, Victoria added, "Selena will assist you from here, sir."

"We've had some...challenges recently," Selena admitted warily, looking over her shoulder at Victoria as if she might get into trouble for being honest. "But nothing insurmountable." She hesitated before adding, "There are always people who don't want change, and they tend to make things more difficult than necessary."

Her tone suggested that perhaps not everyone within the technical department was on board with whatever direction the company had been taking recently.

Victoria's eyes widened at your words, her mind reeling from the implications. She bit her lip nervously and nodded slowly before speaking. "I'll inform the others right away," she said hesitantly, her voice betraying a mixture of fear and uncertainty.

Turning to Selena, Victoria added more firmly, "Selena, please accompany me to the conference room." The older woman huffed but followed Victoria out regardless. As they left, Victoria cast one last worried glance over her shoulder at you before disappearing around the corner.

Victoria stood next to Selena as they waited in the conference room for the others to arrive. She tried her best not to look too anxious or worried, but she couldn't help glancing at the door every now and then. As each of the other department heads arrived, Victoria noticed their expressions; a mix of curiosity, concern, and even skepticism.

When everyone was finally inside, you entered as well. "Thank you all for coming," you said calmly, your tone firm but not accusatory. You explained what had happened with your cousin's fraud and how it affected the company financially. There were several gasps of shock around the room as people realized just how much money was involved.

"But more importantly," you continued, "this isn't about punishing anyone. We need to look forward now and focus on rebuilding Saturn. That means changing some things around here." You glanced over at Victoria, giving her a small nod of encouragement before continuing. "Victoria has already been working closely with me on developing a new plan for the company's future. She'll be leading our team from now on as we move forward together."

There were murmurs of surprise and disbelief among some of the department heads, but Victoria stood tall and proud beside you despite feeling extremely self-conscious. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she basked in your praise and confidence in her abilities.

The room went deadly silent as your accusation hung in the air. All eyes shifted nervously around the room, searching for any sign of guilt or innocence. Victoria bit her lip, unable to hide the fear that welled up inside her. She glanced at each of the department heads in turn, hoping desperately that one of them would speak up and confess what they'd done.

After what seemed like an eternity, a hand slowly rose into the air. "It... it was me," stammered Selena, her voice barely audible over the sound of everyone else's shocked gasps. She looked down at the table, her shoulders slumping as she admitted her guilt.

You turned to Victoria, your expression unreadable. "I trust you know what to do from here," you said simply before exiting the conference room.

Victoria gulped audibly as the weight of your words settled upon her shoulders. She looked around the room, meeting each person's eyes in turn before speaking up. "Alright," she said firmly, trying to sound more confident than she felt. "Let's have a vote on what disciplinary action should be taken against Selena."

She placed a sheet of paper and several markers on the conference table as everyone began discussing amongst themselves. Victoria listened intently, taking notes and making mental calculations about how much power each department head held within the company. She knew that she had to tread carefully in order to maintain some semblance of order while also not alienating any key players who might be important for her success in leading Saturn forward.

As the discussion continued, Victoria couldn't help but wonder if she was truly up for this challenge... and whether or not she would be able to trust anyone else within the company besides herself.

"We should maybe just suspend her until further investigation can be conducted," one of the department heads suggested. "That way, she doesn't have access to any sensitive information or resources." Victoria nodded thoughtfully, considering this proposal. It seemed like a reasonable solution that wouldn't completely remove Selena from the equation but also wouldn't put her in a position of power within the company during this time of transition.

"I agree," Victoria said after giving it some thought. "Suspension seems appropriate for now. However, we should also appoint someone to oversee her duties until she can return." Looking around the room, she chose one of the department heads who seemed particularly competent and trustworthy. "Marcus, would you be willing to step in temporarily?"

Marcus nodded solemnly before speaking up. "Of course, Victoria. I'll do my best to ensure things run smoothly while Selena is away." As everyone else murmured their agreement, Victoria felt a surge of relief wash over her. She had taken her first real step towards proving herself as the new leader of Saturn... and so far, things were going better than she'd expected.

"Certainly," she replied, her voice steady despite the nervousness that threatened to overwhelm her at times. Victoria straightened her suit jacket as best she could and quickly made her way out of her office towards where you were calling from. Her heart raced in anticipation of whatever it was that had caused you to summon her so urgently.

As she stepped into the room, she gave you a polite smile. "You wanted to see me?"

Victoria frowned slightly before trying to think back to who had come into the office that day. "Well," she began, "there was the usual staff for morning shifts and then some new hires for various departments... I believe their names are on their paperwork." She glanced down at a clipboard she'd taken from her desk, quickly scanning through the list before looking back up at you.

"Here they are," she said, handing over the clipboard with the new hires' names clearly printed: Johnson, Taylor, Smith, and Brown. "I hope that helps."

Victoria nodded. "Yes, she's with the security team right now. Is there anything else you need?" Her voice was calm and professional, but there was a hint of curiosity in her tone as well. She wondered what you might need Laura for at this moment.

Victoria's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the amount on the check you had given her. Her face flushed with pleasure and gratitude as she tried not to appear too excited. "T-thank you so much, sir," she stammered, curtsying slightly out of habit before realizing how silly that must have looked in this context.

"I'll make sure our staff gets paid properly from now on." With a nod and another polite smile, she took her leave, clutching the check tightly in her hand as if it were a priceless treasure. Her heart was racing with excitement as she hurried back to her office, eager to share this news with her team. It seemed like things might finally be looking up for Saturn Inc.

Victoria's face paled when she heard your voice, as if she had done something wrong. She quickly glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby before replying in a hushed tone, "Yes, sir. I took care of it." Her heart raced and her palms grew sweaty at the mere thought of what you might have meant by 'taking care of her'.

"Good," you replied casually, as if discussing something entirely unimportant. "Make sure to keep an eye on her. We can't afford any more betrayals like that." Victoria nodded vigorously, trying to appear calm and composed even though she felt anything but. "And Victoria?" you added as you started walking away, stopping just before disappearing out of sight. She looked up at you anxiously.

"You're doing a good job. Just keep it up." With that, you left her alone, her heart racing and her mind filled with conflicting emotions. Was she truly doing a good job? And what exactly did you mean by keeping an eye on Selena...?

Victoria glances around uncomfortably before approaching the group of girls in the makeshift smoking area. She clears her throat and speaks firmly but kindly, "Excuse me, girls. You know that's against company policy to smoke or drink on the job." Her face flushed with embarrassment as she struggles to maintain authority over them.

Most of the girls look guilty or sheepish, while one or two try to protest their innocence. Laura steps forward and places a hand on Victoria's shoulder, offering silent support. The younger woman takes a deep breath before continuing, "If you all promise to stop immediately, I won't have to report this to management." There is a moment of awkward silence before the group mumbles their agreement.

With relief flooding through her veins, Victoria nods and withdraws her attention from the situation. However, she can't help but feel a twinge of sadness as well; these girls were obviously just trying to have some fun in their dreary work environment, and she couldn't help but empathize with them on some level.

Victoria was hesitant at first but eventually agreed to conduct the survey. She decided to create an anonymous online form where all employees could share their thoughts and suggestions without fear of retribution. The following week, she analyzed the results and presented them to you along with a proposal for changes based on what the girls had said they wanted.

Your response was overwhelmingly positive; you encouraged Victoria to take her ideas forward and implement them where possible. The atmosphere in the office noticeably improved as new initiatives were introduced, such as a small recreational area stocked with games and snacks, and regular employee appreciation events. While there were still challenges to face, Victoria felt more confident than ever that she was leading Saturn in the right direction.

Victoria listened carefully to your proposal, her brow furrowing slightly as she considered the logistics involved. "I think that could be a good idea," she finally said after taking a moment to gather her thoughts. "However, I'd recommend hiring someone more experienced in managing bars or similar establishments. We don't want anything to go wrong that might reflect poorly on our staff or the company as a whole."

She went on to suggest reaching out to some local establishments and networking with professionals who had experience in running successful recreational areas within office environments. You nodded thoughtfully, clearly impressed by her insight and attention to detail. As you left Victoria to handle the logistics, you couldn't help but feel confident that she was more than capable of turning your vision into reality.
