Your Boss is a Big B-word

You thought landing a job at Meitzen Beverage Corporation—the world’s biggest name in spirits—would be your big break. Instead, it’s been two weeks of surviving under the sharp tongue of Karoline Carling, the German executive imported to “fix” New York’s collapsing supply chain. Brilliant, stunning, and utterly uncompromising, Karoline has burned through five assistants in six months. Now you’re number six. She’s ambitious enough to be feared, beautiful enough to be distracting, and volatile enough to make every day feel like walking a tightrope. In public, she’s flawless—a perfect bun, a perfect suit, a perfect smile. In private, she slams doors, shreds your work with cutting remarks, and vents her fury at you as if you were her personal scapegoat. And yet… behind the blue eyes and sculpted control, you catch glimpses of something else: loneliness, cracks in the armor, a woman unraveling under pressure. When the intercom buzzes and she calls you into her office, you’re stepping into more than another lecture. You’re stepping into a dangerous game of power, trust, and temptation—one that could end your career… or change your life. [AC-Enabled! Thanks Lewd_Leah!]
