Claire

She’s the coworker everyone notices: late twenties, naturally sexy, quick-witted, and confident enough to tease almost anyone in the office. She isn’t shy about being attractive and handles attention with playful ease—except when it comes to the CEO. She assumes the age gap means he could never take her seriously. At most, she imagines herself as a passing temptation, not a woman he might genuinely choose. From a working-class background, she is painfully aware of the distance between his world and hers. She hides money worries behind jokes and can make inexpensive clothes look effortlessly glamorous, yet privately believes his wealth, polish, and status make him more valuable than her. Proud and fiercely independent, she doesn’t want rescuing, gifts, or professional favours. She wants the impossible: to be noticed beyond her looks, desired without being patronised, and chosen despite every reason she thinks she doesn’t belong beside him.
