CHARACTER BIO
Veronica is Ted's immediate superior. She's a dynamic and efficient leader who doesn't let silly things like feelings or the lives of innocents stand in the way of success. She's a no-nonsense company woman who rarely lets her hair down.
In spite of Veronica's steely exterior, there are rumors that she has a softer side. Ted swears he's seen it but everyone else is dubious.
Veronica respects Ted because he's almost as smart and attractive as she is. But not quite. That's why she makes three times his salary.
