Received this in a grower's choice assortment I bought online. There was no ID attached. Can you please help me identify?

The slightly fleshy-succulent looks to it, and venation pattern made me think of Peperomia, such as Peperomia rana verde, but the petioles are too green less red. however insufficient light with in store or traveling can cause it loss some coloration.
Perhaps we can see closer photos showing stem, lower part of the plants, any info of the roots or any under-soil structure and the smells when a leaves cut/pinch

Thank you for your reply. In response to your request for additional information, I have furnished some more pictures of the plant, including individual leaves. There is no noticeable odor when the leaf is pinched. Hope this helps with the id.

Thanks for the update, @Fran12
Some of the petioles has reddish tint to it, and most are pale but clearly etiolated, showing light deprived symptom (probably due to traveling in box). With good light I believes it will great soon
I was also wondered if that could be a Piper sp, or even Houttuynia, since I cant see clear the stem at the previous picture, both will have distinct smell to it. Knowing that it has no special smells and seeing the petiole and stems, also exclude them.

I believe the plant is indeed Peperomia 'Rana Verde' which is stated as a cultivar of Peperomia Albovitata some where.
