At Gomes Estates, Bianca is called to talk to Bruno in his office."I got your message, Bruno.""Sit down, Bianca." Bruno is smiling, "I want to congratulate you for being the great friend I always knew you would be."Bianca looks at him with a perplexed face, "I didn't understand you.""I'm referring to the fact that you finally managed to have a civil conversation with Aline Mendonça!" Bruno spreads his arms.Bianca smiles slightly, "Ah, that... I'm afraid your joy will be short-lived, Bruno.""You didn't become friends with her?" Bruno widens his eyes."Actually, I was only friendly with Aline because she just broke off her friendship with Carla Fortunato."Bruno breaks the smile, "Oh, sh*t! Just when I thought the three of you would be friends...""Yeah, I know. I thought Aline would have too many enemies at the company and for the moment, I waved the white flag."Bruno tries to reassure himself, "Yeah, at least you, Bianca. That's what made me happy. You comforted our boss's girl

Laura and Eduardo are ecstatic when they discover that both Denise and Jacob have finally complied with their requests, each unaware that the other was up to it.Eduardo holds the phone out to Laura and she sees the screen: in the article, a picture of Denise clearly having difficulty walking because of Jacob's vigorous ability. Jacob takes her by the arm and his smile gives it all away..."The bastard smiles as if satisfied with the result." Eduardo jokingly remarks, "He must have been merciless..."Laura pretends that she didn’t also plan this with Jacob, "Ed, for God's sake, let's not talk about that rudeness here."Eduardo puts his cell phone in the pocket of his Capri pants, "Aren't you happy that your helper finally found a girlfriend?"Laura smirks as she sits down, "Are they dating?"Eduardo gets serious, "Laura, I know Denise. She's not like Aline, who sleeps with guys without asking their names first. For Denise to get to that level of intimacy, they're definitely in a serio

At Laura Fabrics, Jacob is face-to-face with Eduardo.Eduardo is intimidated, "If you can't control yourself like a civilized person, I'd better leave."Jacob retorts, "If you're not brave enough to speak your mind, you shouldn't have come here at all."Eduardo frowns, "I just wanted to thank you!""Thank me for what?" Jacob finds this unusual."For you finally leaving my girlfriend's conscience in peace!" Eduardo states, "Laura was feeling guilty, thinking she gave you some hope."Jacob tenses, "How many times do I have to say that I wasn't and I’m not in love with Laura Ferreira?"Eduardo smiles mockingly, "As many times as you want. I know that's not the truth. You were dying to have nights of ardent love with her and you didn't understand why she chose me. Now, you have another girl who likes you and matches you."Jacob smirks, "Are you sure you came to say thank you on Laura's behalf? I think you came to thank me for yourself."Eduardo breaks the smile, "What do you mean?""I thi

In Taddeo's apartment, he and Marianne are quiet. Taddeo sweeps the living room while Marianne washes the dishes."Who knew? After years of having chambermaids and servants, I'm doing housewife duties myself.""Are you complaining, dear?" Taddeo jokes."None of that, I'm loving this simple life," Marianne responds affectionately.Both Taddeo's and Marianne's cell phones vibrate at the dinner table. Marianne, being closer, is the first to check the device."Huh? Live from Carla announced at the last minute. It must be something important: 'URGENT: Live with Laura Ferreira'."Taddeo stops sweeping and approaches his wife, "Live from Carla with Laura? I wonder what happened."Both stay together and watch the Live in progress.On the cell phone, they see Laura and Carla adjusting their appearance and positioning the camera."OK, are we ready?" Carla begins, "Good morning to everyone joining this Live! Sorry for the last-minu

Carla had no idea that she was being a nuisance to the Correia family.“Mrs. Correia, why so much irritation?”“Do you still have the nerve to ask?” Marianne snorts, “After declaring on your Live with over 2,000 subscribers watching that I'm a scoundrel who slept with another man?”Laura rolls her eyes, “Mom, I already told you it's not about you, it's about my future!”Marianne shoots an accusing look, “And you? You couldn't just let this matter drop, huh?”Laura revolts, “Let the subject drop? Mom, what do you get for making me think I was the daughter of that monster?”Marianne shuts up.Laura continues, “As I've told you before, knowing the truth is like taking a yoke of lead off my back! Now I have a free conscience! And there's more: I can bet that Antonio Ferreira knew about it!”Marianne feels a lump in her throat, “Daughter, stop inventing slander!”“Mother, there is no other explanation for Mr. Ferreira being so mean to me! Look at all he's been up to, especially concerning
