Don Raffa knew that face.
How could he ever forget her?
She was so young when she worked at his company and trained under him. After Melvin died, Aviona went to Africa to mourn for him and when she came back to start a career for herself, she started as a regular botanist at Don Raffa's pharmaceutical's company. That's when he came to know her and become one of Don Raffa's trusted associates. However, he knew Aviona was only trying to get some field experience under him so he willfully taught her whatever he could and when she was ready enough to stand on her own, she left Don Raffa's company to build LGC. They remained good business comrades after that and when she died, Don Raffa was one of those who mourned deeply for her.
