"Father!" Cassandra called out as he left his office. He shot her a stern look, making her nervous. "I wanted to talk to you." She spoke softly, and he gave a slight nod.
She followed him, keeping a few steps behind. "I've been researching the Russian Mafia lord, Father!" She clutched her dress nervously.
"You should get married!" Don Frederico said abruptly. Cassandra was stunned.
"What? Father, why?" She looked at him in disbelief.
"Why? Haven't you been with my brother, Andrew?" His voice was harsh as he saw her confusion.
"Oh my God, no! I have no feelings for him. I only see him as my... uncle," she stammered. Don Frederico laughed.
"Uncle? Is that so?" He approached her, looking her over. "I didn't know you'd become a woman under my roof without me knowing."
"Father, I want to be involved in the family business. This is where my loyalty lies... please," Cassandra begged.
