Among the people who were eager to meet the heir was Alberto. Fleets of expensive cars had lined up in his compound; he borrowed more than the ones he owned. He hired twenty bodyguards, five saxophonists, and a chef who would make intercontinental dishes available. He wanted to show Heir that he was capable.
