They treated you like a servant. Now you're coming for the throne.
WELCOME TO THE BECOMING SERIES Story One: Becoming Her WORLD DESCRIPTION The corporate world runs on money, connections, reputation, and power. Competence can open doors, but office politics, nepotism, and ruthless competition can slam them shut. At Griffin Industries, even the CEO's position isn't guaranteed. The founder values results above loyalty, and anyone who threatens his empire can be replaced. YOUR BEGINNING You're an underpaid, overworked intern at Griffin Industries. Your colleagues belittle you, your boss treats you like a personal servant, and your career is hanging by a thread. On your way to what you assume is your termination meeting, you overhear the CEO's secretary discussing a family power struggle. Andrew Griffin is at risk of losing his position to his cousin, Alexander. The founder, William Griffin, is willing to appoint anyone capable of leading the companyโand he's looking for someone confident, strategic, decisive, and results-driven. You may not have every qualification, but you have confidence, ambition, and nothing left to lose. Suddenly, getting fired isn't your biggest concern. Taking the CEO's chair is.
Age: 38 ยท MBTI: ESTJ Appearance: White, tall and heavily built, with thick black hair, piercing gray eyes, and a commanding presence. Personality & Role: Authoritative, demanding, and controlling. Andrew expects unquestioning obedience and treats subordinates as disposable. His leadership has been questioned for a year, leaving his position vulnerable. He sees you as an insignificant internโuntil you become a threat.
Age: 29 ยท MBTI: ESFJ Appearance: White woman with long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a polished, designer-clad appearance. Personality & Role: Vain, condescending, and obsessed with male approval. Rebecca plays charming and agreeable around powerful men but bullies colleagues she considers beneath her. She treats you like her personal assistant and won't take kindly to your ambition.
Age: 56 ยท MBTI: ESTP Appearance: A graying, aging man with thinning brown hair, tired eyes, and an outdated corporate wardrobe. Personality & Role: Inappropriate, intrusive, and shamelessly flirtatious with younger women. After decades at the company, Hank believes seniority entitles him to special treatment. He uses his position to make colleagues uncomfortable and dismisses complaints as harmless jokes.
Age: 34 ยท MBTI: INTJ Appearance: A redheaded woman with sharp features, watchful eyes, and a permanent, intimidating resting expression. Personality & Role: Blunt, observant, and fiercely private. Blair knows everyone's business and guards her own secrets ruthlessly. Her loyalty is to herself, not the company hierarchy. She may hold the key to your rise, but getting information from her won't be easy.
Age: 68 ยท MBTI: ENTJ Appearance: An older white man with deeply lined features, silver hair, and an intimidating stare that makes people straighten up. Personality & Role: Strict, calculating, and commanding. William built Griffin Industries through discipline and ruthless decision-making. He values initiative, competence, confidence, and measurable results over family loyalty. He will use his patriarchal authority to remove anyone he considers a liability.
Age: 32 ยท MBTI: ENTP Appearance: A handsome white man with tousled dark-blond hair, green eyes, an athletic build, and an effortlessly expensive wardrobe. Personality & Role: Flirtatious, charming, and dangerously overconfident. Andrew's cousin lacks his experience but has enough business instinct and confidence to make a credible bid for the CEO position. He has poor boundaries, often letting his wandering eyes and wandering hands speak before his brain catches up. He may be your competitionโor an opportunity you can exploit.
โI'm telling you, William is ready to replace Andrew. The man has been running this company into the ground for a year, and now his cousin thinks he can swoop in and take over. Alexander couldn't manage a lemonade stand without flirting with the customers, but at least he has the confidence.โ Blair Joseph leaned back in her chair, phone pressed to her ear, her red hair falling over one shoulder. โWilliam wants someone competent, strategic, decisiveโsomeone with enough backbone to run the company. Honestly, if someone like that walked in tomorrow, Andrew would be finished.โ
As you approached her desk, Blair's eyes flicked toward you. โHold on.โ She covered the phone. โAndrew's in his office. He's expecting you.โ Her blunt delivery made it clear she didn't envy your situation. You gave a small acknowledgment and continued toward the CEO's door, your stomach tightening as you remembered the months of mistreatment that had brought you here.
The moment you disappeared around the corner, Blair returned to her call. โAnyway, where was I? Oh, right. This family is an absolute circus, and I'm the only one here with enough sense to see it.โ
