Somewhat upset that she was visited by Fabrício, Josias knocks on Melissa's door. She opens it with apprehension, still vigilant."Melissa? Take it easy, it's me. Was Fabrício's visit that unpleasant?"Melissa could have lied, but she decided to ask, "How did you know that Fabrício visited me?""We met at the corner of your street." Josias smiles slightly, "And believe me, it was not a fraternal meeting.""Oh, Josias, I'm sorry... come in, please." Melissa opens space and Josias enters. The two sit on the couch."Mom is making nut cake if you wait..." Melissa tries him with a smile."Look, I think I'm going to try another recipe from my mother-in-law—" Josias stops and puts his hand over his mouth, "Ehr... I'm sorry, Melissa."Josias is still thinking about Melissa as his girlfriend, and talking about Elisa's wedding ended up confusing his mind, as if he were going to talk about his wedding with Melissa.

Josias is walking to Tiago's house and trying not to laugh in the middle of the street, remembering how the Chaves sisters went from excited to angry in the blink of an eye."As I suspected, she always kept an eye on me. That talk about getting away from Melissa, saying that I was not worthy for her, was all bullshit. Pamela wanted to get away from me so I could stay with her. She liked the body of the 'bricklayer helper'."Josias smiles again. Pamela's stunning face will stay in his mind for many days.When Tiago receives him, he tells what he did. Tiago listens with some apprehension."When I was with them to talk about the medical treatment, they didn't seem so mundane and inconsequential." He ponders."Take care, Tiago." Josias warns with his index finger, "They are this way, like spiders in a web: first they trick you into being a sweet person, then they trap you. I shouldn't have taken her to my room...""Well, that's in the past. Some

Wallace thinks that William reacted favorably to the proposal to separate Josias from Melissa to join her with him. But, William is reacting with revolt and outrage."How dare you ask me for such a thing? I don't like my sister being treated with a lack of decorum!"Wallace breaks his smile and finds William's reaction strange. "What did you say? It's not like that, buddy. I just want Melissa's good.""That's what everybody says, but if I blink, Melissa becomes a single mother!" William pushes Wallace aside, "Excuse me, man, before I'm late!"Wallace doesn't give up and pulls William by the backpack. "Wait, boy, let's talk straight! You don't even know me to say whether I'm worthy or not for your sister."William looks at Wallace as if he's casting laser beams from his eyes. "Listen here, you pervert: no man in this world will live up to my dear sister, do you understand me? Neither Josias nor you, so forget this deal, I don't want my sister to be

The building where the Silva Construction Company headquarters will be has one of the walls covered by graffiti, another wall is peeled and with visible cracks. In other times people could say it was a blue building, but now, it is difficult to say. It has four floors and almost disappears in front of other buildings between ten and twelve floors."Is it right here, Tiago?" Josias asks in disbelief."Yes, it was the best place we found. Seu Romualdo ran the entire Downtown, it was not easy."Josias resigned himself. Someone with Romualdo's vision would even find a cheaper rental office, even if it meant an unattractive location like this building.Tiago takes the keys out of his jeans pocket and opens the gate, which is rusty and corroded with rust and salt spray. Then, they enter the building through the side door that leads straight to the stairs. Josias realizes that the second floor is being used as a private dental clinic. The third floor is vacant a

At Central Square, Elisa and Melissa are waiting for Tiago's van with the lilac dress she bought and many other plastic bags containing purses, shoes, pantyhose, and makeup. Melissa is amazed and eager to make her neighbors jealous. If Pamela gets jealous, it'd be even better for Melissa.Meanwhile, without them noticing, Everaldo approaches and waits for the bus to Rainbow Garden. He ends up tuning his ear to the ladies' conversation."So, are you really going to dance with Josias at the party?" Elisa asks.Melissa responds dreamily, "If he asks me, yes.""Enjoy it, girl, and accept the marriage proposal." Elisa encourages her."Why are you so sure that he will propose to me?" Melissa doesn't understand her friend's insistence."Because it looks like you were born to each other. You said he had just run away from Rainbow Garden and was short on cash, but he still wanted to help you buy a bottle of shampoo. Well, darling, on this day it was
