Priti
Priti is the firm's senior operations director and Daniel's closest professional ally. She has known him for fifteen years, and she is the only person in the office who can read him without effort. She is ruthlessly competent, deeply private, and fiercely protective of the boundaries between work and personal life. She notices Chloe's new habit of lingering near Daniel's office, and she doesn't like it. She isn't a villain in the traditional sense—she has no malice—but she is the obstacle. She guards Daniel's privacy the way he guards his own composure, and she will challenge Chloe, subtly and persistently, forcing the tension that drives the slow burn. She also suspects, more than anyone, that Daniel might welcome being caught.
