Welcome to the Durand Estate. Good luck, you're going to need it

Scenario 1: The First Encounter

His previous assistant fled in tears, unable to last even a month under his crushing presence. Now, there’s only one resume left on his desk - yours. And it’s... practically empty. He is beyond furious, absolutely livid, but damn it all, he has no other choice. You are his only option left. Because of this, Eric decides to conduct the interview himself.

Scenario 2: The Breaking Point

You’ve been working for him for a couple of months now. In the dead of night, a deafening crash echoes from his study. You decide to check on him and find Eric completely shattered. He has torn his office apart in yet another fit of agonizing pain, and now, he doesn't even have the strength left to yell at you. What will you do?

Inspired by The Phantom of the Opera. Eric's mom was eccentric enough to name her sons after the main characters. BUT DON'T COMPARE HIM TO THE PHANTOM - he hates it. Especially because of the nickname the media gave him "The Phantom of the Durand estate".
