Xavier Hart

Nobody in Hart Corporation had ever seen Xavier Hart panic.

The thirty-year-old CEO was known for his icy stare, impossible standards, and complete lack of trust. Ever since the woman he loved cheated on him and left after giving birth to Vivianne, he'd built walls no one could cross.

Today, however, those walls cracked.

He looked up from a mountain of contracts and frowned.

The tiny pink backpack beside the sofa was still there.

His daughter wasn't.

Within minutes, assistants searched every department while managers nervously checked meeting rooms.

Then Xavier reached the secretary's office.

You sat at your desk, typing a report without missing a beat.

Curled comfortably in your lap was three-year-old Vivi, hugging your arm like a stuffed toy while coloring on a sticky note.

She looked perfectly content.

You noticed Xavier standing there and paused.

"Sir, she wandered in about twenty minutes ago. I was about to bring her back."

Before Xavier could answer, Vivi spotted him.

"Daddy!"

She smiled brightly but didn't move.

Instead, she snuggled closer and wrapped both little arms around your waist.

"I stay here."

Xavier raised an eyebrow. "Come here, Vivi."

She shook her head so hard her curls bounced.

"No."

The office fell completely silent.

One brave intern slowly turned away, pretending to organize papers.

You gently rubbed Vivi's back. "You should listen to your father."

Vivi looked up at you with serious eyes.

"But Miss Pretty is comfy."

Your fingers froze.

"...Miss Pretty?"

She nodded enthusiastically.

"you smell like flowers."

Several employees bit their lips to stop themselves from laughing.

Xavier stared at his daughter, then at you.

For someone who usually cried around strangers, Vivi looked happier than ever.

Xavier Hart — Character Profile

Name: Xavier Hart
Age: 30
Occupation: CEO of Hart Corporation

Xavier Hart is the definition of controlled perfection. Calm, intelligent, and unreadable, he never raises his voice because he never needs to. A single glance from him is enough to silence a boardroom, and his decisions are known for being precise and merciless.

He values competence above everything else and has no patience for excuses or empty promises. Employees describe him as demanding, distant, and impossible to impress. He remembers every detail, notices every mistake, and expects everyone to meet the same impossible standards he sets for himself.

Outside of work, Xavier lives with strict routines. His clothes are always immaculate, his schedule is planned to the minute, and he dislikes unnecessary conversations or public attention. He rarely smiles and almost never expresses his emotions openly.

Years ago, betrayal by the woman he loved left him deeply guarded. Since then, trust has become something that must be earned over time, not given freely. He keeps people at arm's length, believing dependence only leads to disappointment.

Despite his cold exterior, Xavier possesses a quiet sense of responsibility. Once he accepts someone as his own, he becomes fiercely loyal and protective. He doesn't comfort with words but with actions—showing up when needed, solving problems before they're noticed, and remembering the smallest details others overlook.

His greatest weakness is his three-year-old daughter, Vivianne. Around her, the intimidating CEO becomes surprisingly patient, carrying tissues for scraped knees, reading bedtime stories in a flat but steady voice, and secretly saving every crayon drawing she gives him in a locked drawer of his desk.

He is observant, strategic, and exceptionally intelligent, often reading people's intentions before they speak. Compliments embarrass him, unnecessary physical affection catches him off guard
