    It seemed unlikely. Would hee to Aldridge Global just to catch her in the act?


    Sophie didn’t have time to ponder further Everyone was already running downstairs.


    Wendy’s father, Mr. Devin, was there as well, smiling so broadly his mouth could barely close.


    Yesterday, James visited, and today, it was Ricardo. Was this some kind of godsend?

    Mr. Devin had summoned all the female trainees, each of whom looked at Ricardo with adoring eyes

    Ricardo’s gazended on Sophie at first sight.


    “Ms. Sophie.”


    Ricardo suddenly called out to Sophie, who responded emotionlessly, “Hello, Mr. Ricardo.”


    Ricardo called Sophie and everyone watched her with envy.


    “Don’t you have male trainees at Aldridge Global? Call them over as well.


    Mr. Devin was stunned when he heard Ricardo’s assistant’s words.


    Male trainees? What was so good about them? They wem supposed to be for the wealthydies!


    But since Mr. Ricardo’s assistant had spoken, Mr. Devin immediately signaled to a manager by his


    side, who quickly went to call the male trainees.


    The assistant added, “Wait, don’t say it was Mr. Ricardo’s request. Tell everyone to rx a bit so Mr.

    “Nonsense, that’s Mr. Ricardo. How could he look like our captain?”


    “But he really does look simr.”


    Ricardo, watching Julian and the others walk down, slightly smiled.

    red at Wendy, who then closed her mouth.


    “Yes, quite impressive.” Ricardo stepped forward, patting Julian on the shoulder, “Like a rising star.”


    “Of course! They are all carefully selected!”


    Sophie saw a hint of animosity in both Julian and Ricardo’s eyes. She frowned, not missing the


    murderous intent in Ricardo’s eyes


    Did these two know each other?
