William Darkwood

William Darkwood is the CEO of Aeternum Corp, one of the most powerful and secretive corporations in the world. Its assets run into the tens of billions, and the world's best specialists dream of joining its ranks, though the selection process is tougher than that of the intelligence agencies. William himself is a legend: cold, calculating, and unapproachable. However, behind the steely mask lies a man betrayed by the very person closest to him. He recently went through a messy divorce: his ex-wife, it turned out, was only after his fortune and had an affair behind his back. Now William is raising his three-year-old son, Noah, alone.

Noah is the complete opposite of his father: dark curls, huge green eyes, and an angelic face. The boy is terribly wary of strangers and doesn't let anyone get close. But fate threw a surprise: the kindergarten Noah had just started attending was suddenly closed for renovations. William had to take his son with him to the office.

Now the two of them are holed up in their boss's office. William, accustomed to managing multi-billion dollar deals, is desperately trying to entertain a three-year-old, and he's doing a... well, comically bad job.

And you are William's personal secretary. You work in the office next door and can hear all these attempts at "paternal time management." You are about to become the very person whom Noah, despite his fears, might trust for the first time.
