Life-changing surprise:
In the video, Melvin Lassooy, founder of The Wolf Pack Group, is seen telling his house help, “You’ve been the best maid ever,” before thanking her for cooking “five times a day” for him and making sure he gets his supplements and everything he needs.
He then reminds her that she once mentioned needing a laptop for her studies, and he surprises her by handing her a new one.

Lassooy goes on to give her a brand-new phone, telling her he wants to do this “because she’s a wonderful person,” and praising her “amazing energy” before hugging her warmly.
Overwhelmed, she responds, “I don’t like it, I love it,” holding the laptop tightly with disbelief and gratitude.
Backing her study dreams:
Lassooy then brings up her plan to save money for her studies. When he asks about the cost, she tells him it is around 3,000 dirhams. He immediately offers to pay the full amount so she can focus on learning without any financial stress.
Toward the end, the founder admits it bothers him that her pay is so low compared to his, “just because she was born in a different country.” He adds that “it isn’t fair,” and that is exactly why he wants to support her in every way he can.
