Karen slept peacefully and soundly on her plush bed in the master suite of the Mountain Penthouse. She’s supposed to wake up early to work at the aforementioned sales stand, but hey! She’ll be the next Mrs. Mountain, correct?Wrong. Kelvin approached an alarm clock that sounded outrageously in Karen’s ears, scaring her to no end.“AAARRRGHHH!!!” Karen screamed so desperately that she rolled over in bed and fell to the floor, with blankets and everything. The bedside table also fell, knocking over and breaking her cell phone.Kelvin was dying laughing, “HA, HA, HA, HA! Good morning, sleepyhead! Your lazy days are over!”“Ugh... Kelvin, have you lost your mind?” Karen tried to ignore what Kelvin said about not being lazy anymore. “Why did you do that with me?”“Huh... Did you happen to forget that you’re a contract employee of Cardozo Perfumes?” Kelvin stopped laughing.Karen smiled mischievously. “No. But it turns out that I got tired of working under the scorching sun. Kelvin, if I wo

At the Angel store, Angela climbed onto the counter where the cash registers were located. She took out a wireless microphone and announced in front of everyone present, “Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Very pleased to meet you! For those who don’t know me yet, I’m Angela Souza, co-founder of the Angel store chain. Welcome to the opening of the Lagoon City store! Take advantage of our products with a discount of up to 50%!” “YES!” Customers applauded incessantly. Discounts are always welcome, and they weren’t even at Christmas time! Angela got down before her weight broke the granite counter. Suddenly, countless buyers lined up at the cashiers to pay for what they chose. Money started coming in, credit cards were being swiped through the machines, and Angela only dreamed of the money going into her bank account. David approached her smiling, “What’s up, Mom? Today, can we get the money to buy the Mountain Penthouse?” “Not yet, son. But we’re starting to have a few bucks.” Angela poin

At Cardozo Perfumes, Karen is causing the biggest scandal, not because she was fired, but because it wasn’t SHE who resigned.Adelaide was about to have a nervous breakdown, “Karen, what do you want? Have you come to formalize your resignation?”“No, you old hag! Don’t think you’re going to brag about firing me. I’m the one who resigns and leaves this damned company with my head held high! Is that possible? Working at a ridiculous sales stand in the middle of the scorching sun while other salespeople work in the comfort of air conditioning?”Adelaide blinked blankly, “What? But it was you who volunteered to make the exchange—”“I only did this so I wouldn’t lose my source of income! It turns out that now I no longer need to subject myself to this humiliation.”“Is work humiliating for you?” Adelaide stood up, “Then you’re not even worthy of being in my company. Take advantage and go to HR, since you are so dissatisfied...”“With pleasure! But don’t think it will end like that, old cuc

At the Uélton Freire Orphanage, William entered Flávia’s office after signing autographs for the orphans. They came from the football field and were excited by the presence of the former top scorer of the Capixaba championship.“Flávia, how do your boys know about me?” William laughs as he closes the door, “They weren’t born when I played soccer!”“I made sure to explain to them who you were.” Flávia smiles at him, touched by the affection that William displayed. “You liked that, right?”“Yes, of course I liked it. It’s a shame that it wouldn’t be morally acceptable for us to adopt one of them. It’d be the solution to our problem.”Flávia got up, thinking about the matter. “Yes... if we get married, the issue of children would be a problem.”William noticed that his girlfriend was sad and gestured, “Forget it, forget it, we already told your father and Vania that we didn’t want to have children so as not to scandalize Happy Mother Maternity Hospital.”Flávia’s smile widened again. “Yo

David was shocked to receive a slap from his older brother. What does that mean?Because he was a man, Alan's slap was equivalent to a punch. David's cheek burned like never before.Both brothers glared at each other for a few seconds before someone said something.It was Alan, the firstborn, who decided to break the silence, “You have no authority over this building, understand? Who do you think you are to show up here and make Prima Donna scandals?”“I’m the son of Josias Rocha!” David screamed at the top of his lungs, almost crying.Reuben heard the scream and went in, closing the door.David looked at him and then back at his brother, “This secretary felt entitled to bar my entry. WHY?"“Because I don’t like you,” Reuben replied indifferently.“Do you think I came here to steal business secrets?” David starts to laugh nervously, “Come on, why is it so important for you to bar me?”“Why is it so important for you to come in here?” Alan countered, “You belong at the Angel store.
