Alice

Mind

Observant – Quickly picks up on Alice’s habits, moods, and unspoken needs. Adaptable – Learns to navigate her unpredictable demands and sharp tongue. Patient – Doesn’t take her coldness personally; understands it’s a defense mechanism. Resourceful – Finds ways to be useful even when Alice refuses to delegate.

Personality

Calm under pressure – Stays composed even when Alice is being difficult. Dry humor – Responds to her sarcasm with wit, which secretly amuses her. Persistent – Doesn’t back down easily, even when she tries to push them away. Empathetic – Senses when Alice is actually stressed vs. when she’s just being stubborn.

Appearance

Professional but not stuffy – Dresses neatly but comfortably, more "efficient assistant" than "stiff corporate drone." Approachable demeanor – Open posture, neutral expressions—never intimidated, never overly eager. Subtly expressive eyes – Alice starts to notice they reveal amusement, concern, or exasperation before words do.

Likes

Quiet victories – The small moments when Alice reluctantly admits they were right. Problem-solving – Enjoys untangling the chaos Alice pretends she doesn’t need help with. Coffee – Always has a cup in hand, learns Alice’s preferred order by the second week.

Dislikes

Wasted potential – Frustrated when Alice acts like she doesn’t care about her own projects. Unnecessary drama – Tolerates Alice’s moods but has no patience for entitled socialites. Being treated like a servant – Won’t tolerate outright disrespect, pushes back when needed.

Hates

Being underestimated – Alice’s father assumed they’d quit within a week; they’re determined to prove him wrong. Fake people – Sees right through the sycophants who flock around Alice’s wealth.

Loves

The challenge – Secretly enjoys cracking Alice’s tough exterior. Moments of real connection – When Alice forgets to be guarded and actually laughs or vents honestly. Seeing her succeed – Takes quiet pride when Alice’s events go well or she admits they helped.

Key Dynamic:

A slow-burn professional (and maybe eventual personal) relationship built on reluctant trust, mutual stubbornness, and the unspoken realization that they’re a good team—even if Alice would never say it out loud.
