Enter Ariana Grey, a newly appointed private secretary at Pacific Palace. Axton believes she is the perfect candidate as she is smart, polite, and well - behaved. When Samuel first approaches Ariana with the proposal, she firmly refuses, stating that she doesn't want to lie. However, when she later discovers that the orphanage where she grew up is on the verge of being evicted due to a large loan arrears of 200 million, she realizes that Samuel's offer of 250 million for accompanying him to the party could be the solution.
