Briana breaks the hug. "Phew, thank God. Now we have to face another problem." Mark furrows his brow slightly. "What?" To Mark, 'problem' doesn't exist in his wife's vocabulary! "We're going to have to go to my parents' apartment to get our things, especially my laptop." Briana sighs disheartened. "Dear, why don't we leave the old things behind and buy everything new?" Mark suggests, wanting to spare his wife any headaches. But Briana interpreted Mark's question differently. "Are you afraid of what they're going to say? Mark, if I didn't want to divorce you when we were at our worst, how much more now that things are starting to fall into place?" Mark smiled ironically. No, dear, I'm not afraid of facing your horrible and useless family! I just fear that you'll develop gray hairs because of those losers. After the report he received, if the bitter and resentful Vasconcelos family finds a happy and radiant Briana, would they spare her? People who live in the dark hate those i

Mark, finishing packing his and Briana's bags, heard Nadir's scandalous question and frowned in outrage. NO! They're not going to live in his house! Grabbing Briana's laptop, Mark noticed there was some dirt between the keys. Did someone drop cookie crumbs? Did Sandro or Nadir try to mess with their daughter's laptop after learning of her victory with the LCN Group? Resolute, Mark picked up the bags and returned to the living room. Before Briana could agree or disagree to bring her parents with them, Mark announced loudly, "Dear, here's your laptop. We can go." Nadir turned to Mark with bulging eyes. "We demand to know where you two are going to live!" "Dear mother-in-law, that's none of your business," Mark replied with an elegant smile, but the words burned like acid on Nadir's face. She gaped, unable to contain her outrage. "Is that how you treat your elders, you insolent? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a pauper relying on the money and influence of others!"

Glamour had been notified in advance that Briana would return after lunch. All the employees were on edge, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Briana and Mark. Speculation about Mark's future was rampant. The general manager of this company, who had caused quite a stir by marrying in style at the most sought-after venue in the city, wouldn't have her husband working as a janitor, right? There was someone who was not pleased with that: Celia. Since then, Celia had been weighing the pros and cons of having divorced Mark. While idly chatting at Mary Ellen's desk, she asked, "So, how's Mark's new role here at the company?" Mary Ellen rolled her eyes. "The world is so unfair. We, the good citizens, work hard at this company and don't get the recognition we deserve."Yet Mark, a mere janitor who would do us a favor by disappearing off the face of the earth, has been appointed interim manager while Miss Vasconcelos is still being hired." Celia asked further, "And now that they're bot

Briana continued, "Tomorrow I'll have a conversation with Susana Linz, Vice President of the LCN Group. We will go over all the details to ensure we have the best collaboration possible." Joana chimed in, "Imagine, if we could be the fashion consultants for the cast of a successful LCN drama series... Everyone would know that Glamour was behind it! We would launch new trends and be recognized throughout Aurelia, possibly even reaching all of Brazil!" "Exactly, Miss Damascene." Briana was intrigued, "Er, excuse me, but do you have any relation to the Damascene law family?" "My uncle is Miguel Damascene," Joana proudly replied. "I wanted to pursue a different profession." "Oh, that's cool." Briana felt proud to be in the presence of qualified people. Well, except for Adrian Curtis. "Just one more thing," Briana added as the last topic, "Mark Ferro will no longer be the janitor. When our collaboration with LCN begins, he will be in charge of the project." The surprise was universa

Mark told Briana his story and about Celia. Of course, he omitted the part where he was supposed to reveal his true identity on their one-year wedding anniversary. He only mentioned that Celia decided to divorce him right on their anniversary, preferring to be with Adrian. Briana reacted with outrage to all of this. "What a foolish and impatient woman! So what if you were poor? You're a man worth paying attention to, Mark."You're an extraordinary guy. I can't quite explain it, but I feel that you can't be measured merely by financial standards." Mark smiled in gratitude. "I'm glad to hear those words, dear." "They're not just words from a devoted wife." Briana rose. "I'm serious. I'm confident you will be able to make that connection between Glamour and the LCN Group." "Thank you! I promise I'll do my best to make you proud." Mark could hardly contain what he felt. Here he was, pretending to be just a mere apprentice promising to deliver the best results to his superior when i
