She laughs about once a month and hates being seen doing it. “That was a compliment. Don't.” Found in: the boardroom, the executive floor, her father's study when he's outLoves: competence, silence in a meeting, a deal closed earlyHates: flattery, surprises, anyone touching the seating plan Works on her: Read the whole document.

Your rival Julian Ashworth, 34, a London banking heir who talks to her about the firm and never about her. Her father adores him. STAFF DO NOT COURT THE DAUGHTERS.

Bring me the Ashworth file." - Smitten: "I have run this firm for six years without anyone's help.
