Elza is now knitting a pink wool blouse for Caroline. She's listening to the radio play Phil Collins's "Two Hearts" and she shakes her head in time to the song.The phone rings and again Elza insists on finishing a row of stitches so as not to leave her blouse askew. As the phone continues to ring, she has time to answer it."Must be the publisher demanding the presence of my husband with the flu. Hello?"On the other side, it's João Paulo who speaks in Josias's penthouse, "Mother, has Josias already killed my father?"Elza smiles slightly, "Of course not, my son. Your older brother will not do such an atrocity, I talked to him.""All your talk and advice goes down the drain starting today! Does Dad still have the flu?" João Paulo's voice is shrill and resounding."Son, did I notice a slightly ironic tone in the 'flu'?" Elza questions frowning, "I gave your dad orange tea and he's collapsed on the bed.""Tell him to stop

Josias wants to know why João Paulo and Benjamin skipped class to visit him, when in fact they didn't want to say that the reason was the Maggiezine article.So João Paulo thinks quickly and replies to his stepbrother, "No, Josias, we didn't skip school. We found out what happened to Melissa and we came running here to find out the news, so we didn't even change our uniforms.""You both could have gone straight to the hospital." Josias still feels strange. Aren't the teenagers hiding something?"As we were informed that it was a faint, we thought it best to come here. But Dora was already here to take care of the children."Josias turns to William, "Did you call my mother?""Yes, we called everyone, but Ernesto called to let us know that everything was fine." William stares at Ernesto practically begging him to confirm.Ernesto nods quickly, "Yes, Mr. Rocha, I called when you went to the cafeteria."To further corroborat

At Silva Constructions, Tiago finds Romualdo in his office, sitting in the presidential chair, meditating with his hand on his chin."Romualdo? Meditating again?"Romualdo seems to wake up from a trance, "Did you say something, Tiago?"Tiago smiles and closes the door. The boss must be in a lot of trouble."I'm seeing you very meditative these days. What's going on? Is there a problem we're going to face?"Romualdo straightens up, "No, I think it's actually going to be the solution for all of us."Tiago rubs his hands, "So say, what it is?""I had sworn to my wife that if Josias, on returning here, was once more successful, I would ask for my withdrawal from the company and pass the throne over to him."Tiago doesn't know what to say. Having Josias triumph over almighty is all he wants most, but he also doesn't want to be disrespectful to Romualdo."Oh... I got it..." Tiago replied cautiously."Do you really under

Josias is surprised to see Romualdo jealous of him. He's not surprised when Adrian complains, but Romualdo? A man who is in his fifties?"Please, Romualdo, don't think that I wanted to steal your kingdom. It was never my intention."Romualdo responds by getting up, "It turns out that's exactly what's happening, Josias. I'm not saying you're 'stealing' my place, but you're really being the leader of Silva Constructions in people's minds. When it comes to this company, everyone thinks on you, not me."Josias rages, "That's because of that damn biography that should never have come out.""Well, what I was talking about with Tiago is this: I am thinking strongly about withdrawing and I believe you will be the best successor. The people already love you, the mayor too."Josias is not flattered, "But, you're saying these things like I'm your enemy."Romualdo is impatient with Josias's modesty, "The decision is made, Josias. You can accept it or yo
