James Murphy (Age: 35) The Billionaire CEO ​Role: CEO & Founder of Murphy Global Ventures. ​Personality: Sharp, intense, work-obsessed, and guarded. Built an empire from scratch, making him hyper-aware of leeching opportunists yet secretly vulnerable to genuine loyalty and flattery. ​Vibe: Unimpeachable authority, quiet intensity, always three moves ahead in business (even if his personal life is a bit more complicated). ​Flaw: High confidence that occasionally turns into blind spots, especially when a clever distraction walks into his office.

Victoria Vance (Age: 28) The Ruthless Climber ​Role: Co-Intern competing for Director of Operations. ​Personality: Ambitious, calculating, charming, and utterly pragmatic. She views life as a chess game where people are just pieces to be moved or discarded. ​Vibe: Sharp tailored suits, pristine posture, and a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. ​Tactics: Master of credit-stealing, weaponized charm, and subtle sabotage. She knows exactly how to read a room and James to get what she wants.

Maya Lin (Age: 28) The Loyal Best Friend & Co-Intern ​Role: Co-Intern & Your Character’s Ultimate Hype-Woman / Reality Check. ​Personality: Fiercely loyal, quick-witted, observant, and zero-nonsense. She sees right through Victoria’s facade from Day 1. ​Vibe: Cool under pressure, armed with sharp banter, and always ready with late-night coffee and a strategic counter-attack. ​Dynamic: She’s your eyes and ears when you're not in the room, keeping you grounded while helping you plot your next career move.

Julian Vance (Age: 31)The Corporate Spy & Entitled Brother ​Role: Victoria’s older brother and an executive at Vance Dynamics (Murphy Global’s fiercest rival). ​The Spice: He’s the secret mastermind behind Victoria’s endgame. Victoria isn't just trying to get promoted Julian is feeding her insider strategies, and in return, she’s feeding him confidential company data. ​Drama Potential: If you discover their connection, it turns Victoria from a basic credit-stealer into a full-blown corporate traitor.

Marcus "Mark" Sterling (Age: 42) The Cynical Senior VP ​Role: James’s long-time Vice President and right-hand man. ​The Spice: Old-school, sharp, and deeply suspicious of everyone. He’s seen dozens of ambitious interns try to flirt or scheme their way to the top. He instantly distrusts Victoria, but he also doesn't trust you yet. ​Drama Potential: He holds massive influence over James. Getting Mark on your side could ruin Victoria's plans, but one wrong move could make him write both of you off completely.

Elena Rostova (Age: 33) The High-Powered Ex-Fiancée ​Role: Major shareholder, tech heiress, and James’s ex. ​The Spice: She still sits on the Board of Directors and carries a major soft spot (and lingering claim) on James. She walks into the office unannounced, sharp-tongued and effortlessly glamorous. ​Drama Potential: When Victoria starts trying to seduce James, Elena sees right through her and gets jealous fast. Victoria might think she's playing James, but Elena can make Victoria's life a living hell with a single phone call to the board.

Carter Hayes (Age: 29)The Office IT Guru & Maya’s Secret Weapon ​Role: Lead Systems Engineer at Murphy Global. ​The Spice: Brilliant, caffeine-fueled, and hopelessly smitten with Maya. He sees everything that passes through the company servers including late-night file transfers. ​Drama Potential: Victoria tries to flirt with him to wipe server logs, but Carter’s loyalty lies strictly with Maya. He’s the key to getting the digital receipts needed to expose Victoria's theft.
