The receptionist at Golden Letters didn’t expect this turnaround.“Elaine, what’s going on?”Matthew laughed, “But didn’t you just tell me that there is no Elaine in the company?”It was funny to see the receptionist trying to act friendly with Elaine after claiming not to know her!The receptionist was furious. “Listen here, boy! I would never let you in looking like you are poor! You’re not going to sell us any fake perfume! I’d better call the police—”The receptionist picked up the phone from the desk, but Elaine’s hand stopped her from making the call.“You still don’t understand?” Elaine’s voice sounded dangerous. “I CALLED this man for a job interview. And now, because of you, it won’t just be an interview. They have ordered me to hire Mr. Silva immediately as an assistant to reward him for the humiliation you made him pass yesterday!”The receptionist was terrified. “Elaine...”Elaine continued, “And you said I don’t work here? That’s funny... in fact, you’re the one who doesn

At the end of the day, Matthew was beaming walking down the stairs at Golden Letters. He didn’t mind the accusatory looks from certain people over Matthew’s refusal to use the elevator for short distances.However, some coworkers started imitating Matthew and used the stairs too.“We worked sat for a long time.” Matthew explained to two male assistants who came down with him, “We need to stay in good shape. You want to win over a beauty, don’t you?”“For sure!” One of them, wearing glasses and clumsy, responded hopefully.“So let us continue to be active and manly,” Matthew states, leaving the lesson and example.They say goodbye to Nayla and go through the revolving door.The second assistant commented, “Matt, did you hear that the video they took of you yesterday was evaporated from the Internet? All the Influencers who helped spread the meme have had their accounts taken down.”Matthew drops his smile. Once again, he is being treated as someone powerful and sovereign without unders

Cindy decided to get up after observing that the tan on her arms and legs was what she expected. Then, she notices the buzz among the bathers.The girls said to each other, “Look at those two! Are there any photo shoots happening around here?”“Maybe a commercial for those stylish sunglasses.”“Friend, are you noticing the sunglasses?” This indiscreet question caused laughter among the women.A jealous young man retorted, “Don’t be fooled, girls! Two handsome guys like that must be a couple!”“GET OUT!” The women refused to believe.Cindy, interested, fixes her gaze on the two friends who are causing commotion on the beach...And her jaw drops when she recognizes who they are!To increase her bad luck, Ricardo appears from another dive. He approaches and hugs Cindy from behind.“What’s wrong, honey?”Cindy is scared. She didn’t expect that one.Meanwhile, Matthew got closer and closer to the sand. He managed to discern Cindy among the sunbathers.But the sight of Ricardo appearing and

After classes, Matthew is talking to Walter at the kiosk.“Can you believe my EX-girlfriend had the gall to demand that I help her with her internship?” Matthew complains while eating a natural sandwich.“Why would she ask you for help?” Walter takes a sip of guava juice.“Because she saw us on the beach on Saturday. She became jealous while I was talking to Dayse, and Ricardo got angry with her, threatening to kick her out of the LCN.” Matthew reports with satisfaction.“You seem to enjoy her misfortune.” Walter watches him.“She had fun when she started dating another richer guy, knowing I was poor.” Matthew shrugs, “Why did she start hanging out with me?”“Maybe she hoped you would turn out to be an unknown heir or prince of some kingdom out there.” Walter scoffs without suspecting that he called his friend what he is.Matthew shakes his head and eats some more. Patricia approaches them.“What’s up, boys?”“Patty, congratulate the new grill cook. He knows the job. The sandwich is w

Abner told the story to Matthew, adding some details from his point of view. Matthew listened intently, feeling like he was listening to a fairy tale. He would never even dream of suspecting that he was worthy of a multi-million dollar business empire.When Abner finished, Matthew started asking questions that he didn’t dare to ask Sheila, “Grandpa, my mother suspects that someone in the family ordered the accident.”Abner, however, dismisses the theory with a gesture, “Your mother thinks that, because your father was the only heir in sight, he would be fatally targeted by envious people, in this case, my son-in-law Vicente Gouveia, your uncle. But that is absurd. Your uncle is incapable of doing such a thing.”Matthew caught the tone used in the word ‘incapable’, “He’s not one of high achievement, right?”Abner wrinkles his nose, “It was obvious from the beginning that he was only marrying my daughter Andreia for our money. But Andreia loves the idiot, and I didn’t want to be one of
