Teodoro is once again thrilled to hear the great news from Josias that he is going to occupy an important position anyway. Josias still shows humility and fear."People think I am bothered by humble services, but no! I like to learn. Robson was teaching me how to build a wall; it is not just placing the bricks and covering them with cement on top. There is a whole technique for the wall doesn't crumble or become crooked.""I understand, Josias," Teodoro replies excitedly, "but, you should just raise your hands and thank God for this opportunity. Working in a better job is not a sin. And remember what Everaldo promised."Josias leans over the counter, thrilled to think of his missing friend. "Did Everaldo promise that I would be a millionaire for having seen me all a beggar and without a shirt? But, it is not what I wanted! I just wanted to live with the basics, to be someone normal."Teodoro gets tired of Josias's fear and holds him by both arms, shaking

"Yes, Josias, she is still awake." Simeon replies with his teeth bared, exulting with the calling of his quasi-son-in-law, "Dora will call her."Dora jumps up when she realizes who it is and goes straight to Melissa's bedroom without waiting for her husband's order.In Melissa's bedroom, she is talking to William."Today I went to Seu Teodoro's building, but Josias is not there.""He must have been in another girl's bed, dishonoring her," William speaks bitterly, looking at the floor."No, I was informed that he is still working as a mason in another work by Seu Romualdo's team."William turns to her and gives a dismissive smile. "Humph, this is as much as he can get, being a peon." He approaches his sister and changes his tone to the excitement, "Don't worry, sis. I'm training hard, this week we will win the match so we can qualify for the city championship! I will score two goals in your honor."Melissa smiles affectionately at her

Jeremiah feels entitled to feel offended by Josias. "What are you laughing at, bastard?""Your face," Josias replies without being intimidated, "I don't have anything else to do, right?"Teodoro gets up with a frown on his face. "Jeremiah, let's talk in my office."Josias stops smiling and concentrates on bread with mortadella, sensing serious conversation. When Jeremiah and Teodoro enter the office, the latter closes the door."Is there a problem, Seu Teodoro?""Do you still have the nerve to ask?" Teodoro sits at the desk, "I was informed by Josias about the terrible scene you set up at the bar. Were you trying to get another girl drunk to bring her here?"Jeremiah's eyes widen and he swears at Josias in his thoughts. The kid went straight to tell the owner of the building, but what a gossip guy!"No, Seu Teodoro... I mean, I was in a good mood with the girl, but I wasn't going to bring her here." Jeremias gives a suspicious smile,

Melissa is frightened, her hand is shaking in the indecision to close the door in the face of Fabrício or not. Fabrício, however, is serene and smiling."What's up, Melissa? Is something wrong?"Melissa takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself, but her voice comes out shaky."Yes, didn't you know that I broke the friendship with Pamela?""Your mother told me over the phone and I came to find out exactly what happened, and if I could help with anything."Melissa sees sincerity in Fabrício's countenance. And she is right because Fabrício had not been informed of the fight."How funny, Mom didn't tell me about your phone call.""She must have forgotten." Now Fabrício is pretending with a yellow smile."Well, I don't know if I'm allowed to let you in, so I answer you right here at the entrance: I found out that Pamela had lost her virginity to Josias while she pretended to hate him in my p

Tiago receives Josias with concern when he sees his countenance."What happened, master? Sit down, let's talk.""I came here to ask you for another favor, my friend." Josias sits on the navy blue sofa. The comfort of the furniture makes him calm down a little."Well then, tell me about both matters." Tiago sits in the armchair, settling in as if he were indeed a king, "My employees need to be happy to do their jobs well."Josias smiles at that phrase, and after taking a deep breath, spills the whole story of Melissa, Fabrício, and Pamela, ending at the last meeting.Tiago slowly fades his smile, and when he finishes listening, he is already frowning and with clenched fists."Who does this idiot think he is? Is he from Saint Gabriel? Do you know his last name?"Josias feels a shiver. What does Tiago want to know his full name for?"I think it was Cerqueira, I don't remember..." Josias adds the last piece to see if he disc
