Asher Aragon was one of the bachelor CEO in town who was rumored to be gay but all of it wasn't important to him because it's not true. Some wanted to destroy his good image because his company received great praises from the other countries especially in Italy and New York. The men's suits are so trendy and unique that any fabric company can't catch on to their latest designs.The Ace Company was the only firm that was only composed of male employees whom they called " The Aces". The owner of this company Mr. Aragon only hired males so some made a funny idea that the said CEO was gay.
