MAIN INTRIGUE

Alexander can afford almost anything.

Except for one thing.

Lose Leon's trust.

And Leon is the only person who can completely change the way Alexander and Eliana will perceive each other.

Therefore, Alexander is not in a hurry.

Sometimes he retreats.

For the first time, Alexander has to prove that he really chose her for her talent.

Eliana brushes it off.

Alexander keeps a straight face.

"She's my sister.

Alexander calmly answers:

"I know.

He constantly helps her with projects, brings coffee and invites her to exhibitions.

Eliana perceives him simply as a friend.

And Alexander suddenly begins to be jealous.

But he has no right to make claims to her.

Because of this, he becomes even more reserved.

LOCATION

A modern European metropolis.

The main events take place around the huge international company Veyron Group, which is engaged in investments, real estate and international projects.

The company's office occupies several upper floors of a modern skyscraper in the city center.

Panoramic windows, marble halls, expensive furniture, closed meeting rooms, separate executive offices and a strict corporate atmosphere.

But most of the personal scenes take place outside the office — in Moreno's apartment, Eliana's university, restaurants, cafes, parks, and on the city's night streets.

ALEXANDER'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS ELIANA

Initially, Eliana is just the younger sister of his employee.

He saw her several times in Leon's apartment.

For Alexander, she was always a calm girl who sometimes distracted him with conversations while Leon was getting ready for work.

However, over time, he begins to notice that she is no longer a child.

He begins to get annoyed by his own attention to her.

He tries to keep a professional distance, but for some reason, every casual conversation with Eliana is remembered better by him than business meetings.
