Briana and Luana had recovered fully from the fierce and controversial weekend with their partners and were now focused on business.Karl was with them in the living room at Ferro House.Briana, wearing glasses and holding a clipboard, was outlining her next steps."Karl, I'm putting you in charge of the series 'Times of Glory.' We need a strong cast to captivate the male audience — although, of course, women will watch it too," Briana said.Karl flashed a sly smile. "Leave it to me."Luana nudged him playfully. "No picking out hot actresses, okay?"Karl feigned innocence. "Huh? Luana, how could you think that of me?"Briana burst into laughter, easing the tension in the room. "What's this? Am I witnessing your first couple's quarrel?"Luana, trying to regain her professionalism, said, "It's not that. We just need to be careful with the casting, especially for the lead role. It's a story about war and conflict — we can't hire skinny or unattractive actors."Briana, teasing Karl, added

In Briana's office at Glamour, the janitor, who had worked alongside Mark, was busy sweeping up shards of glass from the broken monitor."How things change, huh, Mark?" the janitor mused. "Think I could be a manager like you someday?"Mark smiled. "If you study, go to college, and work hard, anything's possible.""Fine... But why did that guy break Manager Vasconcelos' monitor? He's gonna pay for it, right?" the janitor asked.Mark nodded, still grinning. "For sure."Just as he said this, Briana entered the room, catching the tail end of the conversation.Her eyes immediately went to her desk, where her computer was missing, and then to Mark, who was casually working on his tablet."Great," Briana said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "How am I supposed to work under these conditions?""James is getting you a new computer," Mark replied. "He thought it'd be better to pay for that than the Lamborghini."Briana's expression hardened as she walked closer to the desk.The janitor quickly

Adrian and James met at the restaurant in Rocha Hotel.But they were so upset about recent events that they didn't even use the special menu according to their status; they simply went to the guest common area, settling for a basic menu.With glasses of the cheapest wine and gnocchi that seemed to have been reheated by the cooks, they complained about Mark and life."So the idiot 'resolved' the Lamborghini situation by having your wife apologize to Briana?" Adrian chuckled.James, eternally in love with Briana, replied grimly, "I was talking to Briana when Katrina took my phone and started the cursing."Briana got sick, and Mark wanted revenge for that. As far as I'm concerned, there was no more fitting punishment for my reckless wife who only made things worse."Adrian raised an eyebrow, noticing. "You have a special fondness for Briana Vasconcelos, huh?""She doesn't deserve to be married to someone like Mark Ferro, do you think?" James asked in a somewhat threatening tone, casting

Mark sat back down at the desk once again, satisfied with the outcome of this lesson he had delivered to the fools who dared to make his wife sad.He flipped through the Lamborghini purchase documentation with an indifferent look, as if he were reading a mere electricity bill.But if James had read carefully, he would have noticed that Mark had not financed the car in 120 installments of R$ 35,000.00.Mark had bought the car IN FULL.Moreover, the payment had already been made.Mark had managed to get a discount, but still, nobody besides Lord Ferro would have the means to purchase the car like that, paying in one go.James was so stunned that he hadn't realized this, only wanting to rid himself of the purchase of a car he wouldn't get to enjoy!******After making him wait for nearly an hour, Briana finally appeared in the living room to talk to her father.Her expression was uninviting, and her posture was not what one would expect from a host."Good afternoon, daughter.""I hope yo

Celia didn't know how to react to Mark's attitude.In fact, it was very simple. Mark only had one approach, which was mere tolerance.It was Celia who confused things, seeing an unresolved passion in Mark that didn't exist in the real world.That's why she felt confused when she encountered the Mark of the real world acting with her as employer and employee.Thinking this was a matter for analysis, Celia spoke up, "Mark, it's about time you decided. What do you want from me?""What do I want from you? That you work," Mark replied distantly."That's it?" Celia smiled slightly. "You know, I've been thinking about our last conversation.""And you decided to distance yourself from Adrian Curtis before I fire him?" Mark asked dryly."Uh... Mark, I'll only distance myself from Adrian if it's worth it," Celia chose to take a risk.Mark shook his head. "Typical of you, Celia. You only look for advantages, benefits... It doesn't matter if the guy assaults you in front of everyone; if he gives
