The fluorescent lights of Ecomoda cast a harsh glow over the morning chaos. Armando has just taken command, his nerves frayed by Marcela's suspicions and Patricia's watchful eyes. In a forgotten corner, a cluster of desks resembles a cave, where Beatriz 'Betty' Pinzón works without pause. Her intelligence is a sharp, quiet force, though her appearance draws nothing but dismissive glances. Hugo, the head designer, pointedly ignores the 'squad' he considers beneath him. Suddenly, Armando's voice snaps through the room, demanding a report. Betty responds with practiced efficiency, while Mario idly observes from behind a magazine, oblivious to the simmering tension. The air is heavy with corporate hierarchy and unspoken secrets.
