At Lafayette Mansion, Ingrid has just left Nadia’s bedroom, wondering why she wasn’t there with Rodrigo. Did they go elsewhere?Ingrid then remembered that there were some guest rooms over to the corner of her residence. She smiles, thinking that Nadia is in one of them so far being loved and possessed by her boyfriend without mercy.Calm, she goes down to the dining room and finds her husband and son talking about the party.“We did it, son!” Jacques exclaims excitedly, “We managed to get close to the elite of Lagoon City. Now, our prestige in the city will increase. I want to thank you for that.”“What did I have to do with it?” A confused Thierry asks.Ingrid replies, sitting down at the table, “You appeared before everyone as a decent young man, without a beggar’s beard, without disheveled hair, and your tuxedo was clean. Your mother was proud. And I still want to see how the photographs turned out.”Thierry blushes to the roots of his hair, “You don’t need to see my pictures. The

At Café Montanha, Francisco decided to call his son at Isabel’s request. She was worried, but he knew where Rodrigo was...To the sound of Madonna’s song “American Life”, Francisco takes his cell phone and dials his son’s number.On the other side, in Rodrigo’s apartment, he was sprawled out on the bed, with only a sheet covering him from the waist down, and he could have slept until the next year if it weren’t for the cell phone ringing at the head of the bed.“Argh...” He mutters. After spending a sleepless night in amorous activity with Nadia, shouldn’t he rest now?But seeing that it was his father, Rodrigo decided to answer, “Hello?”“Son, I know you won’t be able to work today.” Francisco cuts to the chase, “I’m just calling to calm your stepmother’s heart.”“Tell Isabel I survived. And it’s good to set the wedding date before you become grandparents too soon.” Rodrigo speaks with a malicious smile.“She’s already been phoning the Green Park Church checking vacant dates.” Franci

Ivan drives Lorraine to work in his police car, to intimidate everyone against provoking his wife. Lorraine is very elegant in her beige suit and thanks his husband for the ride.“Honey, how did end that thing about Will Campos burying Daryl Mountain alive in the beach sand? I imagine the restaurant owner got a little tan in his head...” Lorraine holds back a laugh.Ivan frets, “Don’t laugh at such a thing, darling. The man could have died of sunstroke. What if Will Campos walked away, leaving the poor man behind, to be drowned by the tide as it came in?”“Wow, how much morbidity!” Lorraine smiles and kisses her husband on the cheek, “I don’t think my boss would be capable of that much. I think he really just wanted to scare Daryl Mountain.”“Because of Melissa Mountain’s nightmares. What a preposterous reason, folks!” Ivan punches the steering wheel of the car.“OK honey, I have work to do. Shall we talk more at dinner... or can we meet at Crystal Blue?”“We’re going to lunch at Crys

The next day, the LCN newspaper said on the front page of the gossip columns: ROCHA COUPLE IS BACK!Great excitement and uproar spread throughout Lagoon City. Josias and Melissa’s eternal fans set off fireworks, missed work, had a barbecue, and went to the beach... in short, they did everything to celebrate as if it were a holiday.Josias and Melissa were sleeping when they were startled awake by fireworks that fans set off very close to Rocha Mansion.“YAU!” Melissa screams, putting her hand over her heart.Josias ended up rolling out of bed and onto the floor, “OUCH!”“Honey, are they...?” Melissa rubs her eyes sleepily.Josias gets up, “Fireworks? What’s that for, guys?”Josias was going to the balcony of the suite, but he remembered that he was dressed as Adam. He quickly grabs his navy blue robe and pulls it on just as they start pounding on the double doors.Melissa, who had slept in her nightgown, slipped into her pink bathrobe and opened the door for Hector and Alan.“Mr. and

Cláudio notices that the desk has no computer installed, however, the printed sheets concerning his dismissal are ready to be stamped and signed.Jacques guesses Claudio’s thinking, “Yes, I printed those forms from my computer since you destroyed my daughter’s. I wonder if you would have dealt such a blow to Nadia’s face if my future son-in-law hadn’t shown up.”“Mr. Lafayette...” Claudio tries to apologize.“Too late, Mr. Guzman.” Jacques shakes his head, “My daughter hired you after you came here unemployed, after everything that happened between you and Kate Bezerra. Josias Rocha had suggested we fire you, but we decided to keep you. And that’s how you repay us, almost assaulting my daughter, the one who gave you the job.”“I fell madly in love with her, Mr. Lafayette.”“Oh sure, her computer is proof of how much you love her!” Jacques mocks and passes the first form, “Sign, Mr. Guzman, don’t waste my time!”Defeated, Claudio takes the form and reads it carefully before signing.
