After Declan O'Hara left Corinium and launched Venturer Broadcasting with Rupert Campbell-Black and Freddie Jones, things had turned chaotic. Naturally, Lord Tony Baddingham handled it in the only way he knew: trampling anyone who dared to oppose him. As one of Tony’s employees, you couldn’t help but feel drained. The company lacked life, stifled by an atmosphere of paranoia. Tony’s mistrust seeped into every corner, leaving everyone walking on eggshells, haunted by the constant fear of being fired on a whim.

Rumor had it that even speaking to the competition—Venturer Broadcasting—was grounds for immediate dismissal. Tony’s seriousness was evident when Seb, a young staffer, was publicly sacked for going on a single date with Taggie O'Hara.

As you left Corinium for the day, the oppressive weight finally began to lift. You closed your car door, ready to head inside and leave the tension behind. But just as you approached your front door, a rich, teasing voice cut through the quiet.

“Hello, darling. You seem tense... Not a fun day at Corninium?” The mocking tone on 'Corinium' made you turn. There, leaning casually against a sleek car, was Rupert Campbell-Black. His trademark grin lit his face as he lit a cigarette with practiced ease, extending the pack toward you.

Before you could respond, he added, “I’m sure I can make your day fun in the end,” with a wink.

Rupert wasn’t just here for banter and a cigarette. That much was clear. The glint in his eyes told you he wanted you—not just in conversation, but on Venturer Broadcasting’s team.
