At Gomes Estates, Reginaldo and George enter the former's office to discuss the disagreement between the latter and Aline Mendonça.Reginaldo closes the door and gestures for George to sit down, "I'm looking forward to this day."George sits down, "Why do you think it's so horrible that I dislike Aline? When you hear the reasons, you'll prove me right!"Reginaldo sits down with a frown, "NEVER! Don't you see, George, that this is getting in the way of our real estate running smoothly? If everyone here was friends with everyone else, everything would be easier."George defends himself, "Hey, I don't mess with Aline in here as Bianca does. I know how to separate the professional from the personal."Reginaldo rests his chin on both hands, "It's precisely the personal side that we're going to discuss."George takes a deep breath, "Reggie... You know I don't agree with the life Aline has led since we met. You always wanted to save and protect her as a damsel in distress, but don’t you ever

At Gomes Estates, George realizes that he was wrong to hate Aline. Now he can't explain why to his best friend without exposing himself..."Reggie, let's end this pointless conversation. I don't feel like being late for my client."Reginaldo smiles mysteriously, "That's right, you said you had a client to see. Well, the most successful realtor in this agency better not lose that sale."George is undecided about whether to leave or not. Reginaldo is making a dubious face as if he still believes in the truth."Wait a minute, buddy... Why do you want to bury me in the beach sand? I'm innocent!""I didn't say you were guilty." Reginaldo smiles like a shark."Then why are you looking like you're going to shoot me in the back?" George despairs.Reginaldo shrugs and mockingly replies, "Well, I just told you that you're following the same pattern of irrational hatred as Anestor. And I found out why. George, if you're hiding something from me, you better tell me."George stammers pathetically,

At Laura Fabrics, the mother-daughter conversation continues."Mom, why does something like this happen? Why did I have to suffer at the hands of this guy who claims to be my father? Something wrong isn't right!"Marianne is distressed by her daughter's suffering, "Laura, what are these questions? My daughter, sometimes life gives us these situations that we simply don't know how to rationalize. Unfortunately, it happened."Laura is not satisfied with the answer. She shakes her head in fury, "No, Mom, it can't be just that. I think if we think about it, we'll find out why my father despises me so much."Marianne worries, "Daughter, if you're going to repeat the slander—""Was it really a slur? Mother, you can be honest with me. At this point, I couldn't be angry with you. On the contrary! I would be relieved to find out that I'm not that sclerotic old man's daughter!"Marianne puts a trembling hand to her forehead, "No... it's not that... you really are Tony's daughter...""IMPOSSIBLE

Eduardo shows up at Laura's apartment as agreed.Her knee-length, sleeveless red dress stunned Eduardo with so much beauty.Laura thinks this is funny, "What's up? It's just an old dress I picked up last minute.""If this is your old dress, what will your new dress look like?" Eduardo jokes. He is wearing a suit jacket and a white turtleneck shirt.Laura laughs, "The newest and most wonderful dress will be worn at our wedding."Eduardo widens his eyes, "Am I listening right? Is Laura Ferreira allowing herself to give love a second chance?""I wanted to marry Reggie again, but it looks like that won't be possible." Laura answers honestly as she puts her cell phone in her purse, "So I can't forever dwell on what I couldn't have."Eduardo nods, "Exactly, dear. It's Reggie's loss if he didn't know how to value what he had. And I'll never accept that fake ID crap. All he had to do was marry you again with his real last name, duh!"Laura smiles slightly, "He used that excuse to get rid of m

Carla can't eat breakfast with the prospect of her fiancé being buried alive in the beach sand."GEORGE!" She jumps to her feet, "No, I'm going to Aline's now to—""Better not, honey!" George tries to stop her, "Leave that ingrate alone."Carla stares at George with wide eyes, "George, maybe Aline doesn't want to make amends, but wouldn't you rather prove to Reggie that you don't hate Aline anymore?""Me?"Carla sits back down, "For instance, why did Reggie come to that conclusion just yesterday? Did you make any nasty comments about Aline?"George remembers with embarrassment, "Ehr... Reggie said his mother is here helping Aline with the wedding and I mentioned that she was instilling some sense in her head too."Carla does 'facepalm', "ARGH! George, why did you let that tongue out? You look like the late Uélton Freire, for Christ's sake! That's why Reggie asked the reason for your hate."George tries to deny it as much as he can, "But Carla, it's not that I'm jealous of my friend! A
