My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

As soon as we entered the villa, I noticed a middle-aged woman dressed in fine and fashionable clothes as she stood by the entrance, welcoming us. With a smile on her face, she looked at Hendrix and greeted, "Mr. Roberts, long time no see."

Hendrix nodded as he shook her hands and greeted her, "Hello, Madam Lawson. Sorry to keep you waiting."
