Aline appears at Gomes Estates and sees Carla already taking her things out in a box.The eyes of the two cross and both are embarrassed.“Carla, what do you think you're doing?”“You're still dumb and without heightened senses.” Carla taunts her, “Obviously, I'm packing my belongings to leave!”“Did you resign?” Aline is intrigued.Carla rolls her eyes, “Good thing I won't have to put up with your stupidity anymore.”“And will Laura put up with your avarice and dishonesty?” Aline wisely counters, “Let me tell you something, Carla Fortunato: yes, I'm stupid, but Laura isn't. She has malice and knows more about the world than me. Don't think you'll be able to fool her by pretending to be a friend while using her to promote your social media, because she'll see through it and she'll be meaner than me. Even more so now, that she has an older brother to protect her, wh

Aline and Reginaldo leave his office. In the lobby, they are met with George appearing down the corridor.“Carla's office is open and I didn't see anything on her desk.” George has a confused look, “Did something happen that I missed?”Reginaldo smiles slightly, “Carla Fortunato resigned.”George gapes, “Oh my Lord! And you allowed such an atrocity?”Aline frowns, “Don’t overdo it, Bruno.”Bruno faces Aline, “I believe this has something to do with you, young lady. You made peace with Bianca, but you can't do the same with Carla, who was your best friend before all this?”Reginaldo takes the floor, “Bruno, Carla is going to work for us from her apartment, remotely. Since she didn't want to run into Aline here at the company, she decided to sacrifice herself for peace.”Bruno is forced to agree, “Well, at least Gomes Estates won't remain a b

George is looking ruefully at the empty office that once belonged to Carla. “Because of Aline Mendonça... my love will be excluded like a leper...” Bruno appears from behind him, “Contemplating solitude, man? If you want, we can transfer you to this location.” George turns to him, "Are you serious?" "Yes, why not?" Bruno winks, “Imagine how cool it would be: the office first belonged to your fiancée, now it belongs to you. It would all be in the family!” “Ha, ha, ha, Bruno, you are hilarious!” George is amused, then starts to walk around the empty room, “Yes, it would be very nice if I occupied this office in honor of Carla, my dear fiancée, who retired as if in quarantine.” Bruno clears his throat, “George... does this have anything to do with the mess you narrated to me on Monday?” "Yes. Carla came to resign, but Reggie made this proposal.” George huffs, “I don't settle for this, man. I never thought I would hate someone like

Bartolomeo and Faron enter Café Montanha, making George more fearful.He recognized the imposing gentleman from the newspapers, and he bore a certain physical resemblance to his best friend. But the guy next to him with the mean face and always with one hand inside his jacket... who is he? Was he holding some revolver?George takes a deep breath and beckons to both of them.Bartolomeo approaches him, “Mr. Correia?”“It’s me. Hello, Mr. Fabray.”“This is Faron, Miss Mendonça's original butler.” Bartolomeo explains, “It seems it didn't work out for her to live with my butler. Did you meet him?”“Anestor, his name, right?” George seems not to have much intimacy, “Yeah, he spent a few months with my friend.”Bartolomeo sits down. Faron chooses the next table but keeps an eye on the conversation.“Want anything, sir?”&ldqu

George enters the room that should have been his, but which has been snatched away by Aline. She is placing a vase of daisies on the desk to decorate it.“What's going on here?” He widens his eyes.“Hello, George! Have you come to decorate my office?” Aline asks in a naughty way.“What? YOUR office? It's MINE, you crazy!”“Oh, where is the guy who promised not to get into fights with me?” Aline pretends to be sorry.“Damn you, what did you—” George chokes on the words, “You overheard the conversation Bruno and I had and ran off to ask for the room for yourself!”“Of course, you imbecile!” Aline retorts, “This room should belong to the girlfriend and future Mrs. Fabray. It’s not for the fiancé of a minx who sent me into captivity.”“Are you ever going to forgive Carla about this?” George slams the door shut.Read more
