Her boss ad first cajoled and finally bribed Alex, speaking of a long-lost masterpiece that she might unearth if she agreed to the assignment.

So when Alexandra Lacy turned out to be a woman, a beautiful red head, with blue eyes. Anton's current female interest (Marina Bergatrice) took exception to Alex not only trying to ruin a priceless masterpiece painting, but going so far as to burn down the house. Marina failed to get rid of Alex, but she did drive Anton into Alex's arms.
