Denise and Jacob have a snack at the Brisa do Mar cafeteria. The mood is romantic.“Denise, I've been thinking about you lately.” Jacob takes her left hand.“That's easy, I live next to you in the building.” Denise jokes.“Great. I want to tell you something, but you have every right to refuse.”“Oh, why always with that talk?” Denise rolls her eyes, “Every time someone makes me that kind of offer, the offer is one I can't refuse.”“So does that mean you will say yes?” Jacob does his classic smile.“With that beautiful smile of yours, how can I say no?” Denise melts like butter.“Not quite, Denise.” Jacob jokes, “If I smiled at you and asked you to rob a bank, would you say yes?”“You clown!” Denise throws a shrimp ball at him, “Tell me what the proposal is!”Jacob laughs.

At Gomes Estates, George is fighting for his life.“I said that the conversation was unlikely to remain in the professional field, Bruno.” He states, “Here we are, again, talking about intimacies. You don't understand why I want to leave.”“No, but we are trying.” Reginaldo says, “I'm telling the truth, George, when I tell you that I'm not aware of this story of Aline and Carla trying to kill each other.”“Perhaps if you talk to us calmly...” Bruno asks, “George, understand that we are busy people, we have a lot of commitments. Reggie not only has Gomes Estates but also Mendonça Bank, and he is about to take over the entire Fabray Network! How do you expect Reggie to know about every little thing that happens in the world?”“I don't expect Reggie to know everything himself.” George says, “But I was hoping that Aline would have the courage to talk about what ha

The next day, Reginaldo, Aline, and Bartolomeo have breakfast in the dining room. Each one has a different thought.Reginaldo starts chatting, “Dad, how was your pilgrimage yesterday?”Bartolomeo smirks, “If Anestor is smart, he'll come today.”Aline's hand trembles, “Will he come here today? Why do we need him here? I think... I need to see if I have any clients for today!”Reginaldo puts his hand on her trembling hand, “Calm down, love. Anestor comes to talk to my father.”“Why don't we just let this old man be our enemy's secretary?” Aline frowns, “I was more at ease not knowing his whereabouts.”“Sorry for the inconvenience, my daughter-in-law.” Bartolomeo smiles, “I happen to need to know and take it out on this butler of mine.”Aline rolls her eyes, “Do you believe he will tell the truth?”“I want to hear what

George is surprised by Carla foolishly hoping that Aline will forgive her after she has been unmasked.“Carla, honey, Aline tried to throw you off the balcony! Do you think this is an indication of someone who will forgive you?”Carla feels a lump in her throat, “But... maybe, if I talk to her another day, in a safer place...”“Yes, preferably on the ground floor!” George asserts sourly, “Carla, maybe all of this served to cut you off from Crazy Aline for good. You were out of patience with her. You had already broken off the friendship. Keep being friends with my family. My stepmother and half-sister will guarantee you pleasant moments.”Carla was going to say that she was also going to take advantage of Laura and Marianne to leverage her social media, but she decided to hold it. Maybe George doesn't like to know that she's going to shamelessly use members of his family!“OK, so how did your ta

The next day, Reginaldo is working in his office at Gomes Estates. He types on his computer, poring over the week's sales.“Rodrigo is killing it with sales, two in two consecutive days. I must congratulate him, he started so shyly last year.”The door opens and Carla enters, reserved, “Good morning, Reggie.”Reginaldo looks up at the door and sees his publicist, “Hello, Carla. Do you want to talk to me about something?”“Yes, I want to go inside and talk before your fiancée cuts me off and throws me out the window.” Carla closes the door quickly.Reginaldo's gaze hardens, “Carla, I was only informed yesterday of what happened. Did you come to talk about it?”“Not exactly.” Carla approaches the desk, withdrawn, “I think what I’m gonna tell you will come as a shock, but I believe it will be best for all of us.”“No, not you too,&rdquo
