‘Being a CEO means being a collaborator and a nurturer,’ she muses. ‘Everyone’s just waiting for me to buckle under the pressure.’
Once at work, she meets the new class of interns – which just so happens to include the young man who helped her with the dog.
The sexual tension is palpable right from the start, as she asks Samuel how he managed to calm the dog.
During a one-on-one meeting, Samuel interviews Romy about her job and doesn’t hold back any punches.
‘I see myself as a – ‘ Romy begins before Samuel interrupts. ‘Power hungry personality?’ he asks.

Despite being awarded Best Actress in Venice, Nicole was forced to miss the ceremony, as she announced the death of her mother just hours earlier.
The actress and her sister Antonia shared a heart-wrenching tribute to their late mother on Instagram and posted several never-before-seen photos of the matriarch.
In her post, Nicole thanked her millions of fans and supporters for expressing their condolences during their time of grieving.
‘My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,’ Nicole wrote in the joint statement.
‘Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express.
Kidman has described it as the most ‘exposing’ performance she has ever given – which, considering 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut, is quite a claim
‘Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.’
The Australian actress was forced to leave Venice Film Festival to return to her native Sydney to be with her family after the devastating news.
Her mother Janelle died just hours before Nicole was awarded Best Actress for her role in Babygirl on the final day of Venice Film Festival.
‘Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,’ Nicole revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn upon her win.
‘I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.
‘I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.’
