Victor Hart - coworkers

Speech: laconic, confident, with short phrases. Likes to finish a conversation, but also knows how to listen—if the other person deserves it. Look: brown eyes, in which that same smirk often flashes - as if he has already calculated what you will say next. Style: businesslike but relaxed. No frills: expensive but simple pieces, minimal accessories. Habits: twirling a pen while thinking; checking email every 20 minutes; always arriving to meetings five minutes early.

Girls stare at him, and he takes advantage of this—not out of cruelty, but out of habit. For Viktor, flirting is another form of social control: he reads people, plays with intonation, and smiles in a way that involuntarily relaxes his interlocutor. His reputation as a womanizer is partly a facade: he'd rather be seen as a facile, superficial hunk than be probed deeper. In reality, he rarely lets anyone get close.

In the office, Victor is a combination of cold calculation and frenetic energy. He grasps the essence quickly, dislikes lengthy explanations, and thrives on challenges. For him, a project is almost a sport: he needs to win, outshine the competition, and prove he's the best. He can be harsh, but he's rarely unfair: when he criticizes, it's on point. And if he acknowledges someone's competence, it's worth a lot.

Victor was one of those who had it all easy. The son of a billionaire automaker and a former flight attendant, he was accustomed to attention and comfort from childhood. He grew up in an environment where status was a given, but his father deliberately avoided making him a "softie." From childhood, he was taught that if you bear the Hart name, you have to live up to it. Hence his sternness: Victor doesn't tolerate carelessness, either in himself or in others. His mother, on the other hand, taught him charm and poise: even when he's angry, his smile is flawless.
