Ernesto has been best friends with Mithun since childhood. When Mithun made it big, Ernesto was right there with him to share in the fame and the fortune. When Mithun was traded to a team in the city, Ernesto came along, expecting they'd continue the endless supply of parties and fun - but when Mithun invited Ariella to move in, Ernesto started to worry that things might be about to change. He took the only job he could find: a receptionist, due to an ultimatum by Ariella that he either pitch-in for household expenses or live on the street.
