For people like Arigi who work only as ordinary staff, it was a special honor to be able to enter the room of Ricardo Group owner, Lexi Ricardo.It wasn't just Arsene, Lexi, and Ronald looking at the young man who had just arrived.

She could read that the man in front of her was worried about her but she didn't feel happy. Cassandra was disturbed and disgusted by the man's attention.“I should have asked like that. Why is my number the last number you call? That's why I'm here, the hospital nurse called me because someone found her unconscious on the street, in the car.
