Inside the elevator, those with her felt suffocated by her strong breath of brandy.Upon exiting, a staff member at the entrance quickly volunteered, "Mrs. Ross, let us arrange a ride by app for you!""No need, I'm fine!" Katrina waved her hands, nearly hitting the young man who tried to help her.As she left, Katrina began to suspect something was off when she had difficulty recognizing her car.She shook her head to clear the fog surrounding her thoughts, but it only made her hair shine under the sunlight reflecting in the parking garage.She let out a loud laugh, echoing as if it were the best joke in the world. "Five shots of brandy, and life is a party!" she thought as she stumbled toward her car.The key trembled in her hands, almost slipping away, but she managed to insert it into the ignition as if passing through a magical portal.The engine roared with an enthusiastic growl, almost applauding her triumphant return to the world of drivers.Katrina accelerated, making the car

At LCN headquarters, Mark and Susana were working diligently.In the president's office, Susana stood while Mark leaned comfortably in the presidential chair.Anyone seeing them like this wouldn't think that Susana was the Vice President; they would assume she was just a mere secretary.But Susana never minded that, always maintaining a servile and collaborative posture. "Lord Ferro, we have good news for you," she said, holding the tablet."You may proceed," Mark nodded slightly."We managed to contact Vivian Leite. She could be the lead in 'Colorful Kisses,' Lady Ferro's series aimed at a female audience." Susana looked at Mark, smiling in search of confirmation.Mark remained serious, but it was evident that the information pleased him inwardly. "Wasn't Vivian Leite under contract with another TV network?""Yes, she was, but the contract has expired. Several networks are clamoring for her. The LCN in Lagoon City also wanted to snag her for 'Love Spins the World.'"Mark gestured imp

Gene sensed the suffocating atmosphere in Briana's office. "Ladies... Can I assist you with something?""Certainly, Gene." Briana pointed to her appearance.Gene was flabbergasted to notice Manager Vasconcelos completely splattered with coffee."What happened here? Or do I still need to ask?" Gene glared at Celia.She still held the cup she had used to spill the coffee.Luana wanted to make it clear, "Gene, this person showed up uninvited, argued with Manager Vasconcelos over personal matters, and ended up throwing coffee on her."In other companies, a sassy employee like her would be summarily fired.""But we're not just any company, are we?" Celia scoffed, still believing she would get away with it.Gene stepped dangerously close to Celia. "No, Glamour is an exemplary company. Come with me to my office, Celia."Celia left the cup on the coffee table and pushed it aside, shrugging at Luana and looking defiantly at Briana. "That coffee was good for cooling her heat."The door opened o

Christopher accuses Mark of having something to do with Katrina's accident. Briana and Luana are both taken aback by the sudden accusation. "Let's go somewhere else; we can't discuss this next to Katrina," Luana decides, not wanting to be reprimanded by any hospital staff. The trio leaves the room and stays in the hallway. "Where did you pull that nonsense from?" Briana frowned. "Would it be so absurd to think that someone like Mark could do something like that, cousin?" Christopher gritted his teeth as he asked accusingly. "You and Katrina haven't gotten along for years, although I could never understand why." "Come on..." Luana complains. "And your husband seems like a dedicated guy, considering how hard he tried to throw you a wedding party beyond his means," Christopher continued. "So, if you ever complained to him about the fierce competition between your shows, it's not surprising for someone who came from the slums—" "Stop, I won't let you speak about Mark like that!" Br

Briana was watching the doctor who was 'attending' Katrina closely. Is she seeing the same leader of the men in gray at the Braz Social Club? Is she seeing the same man who pushed Katrina that day at the LCN Group, preventing her from slapping her? Why does he seem unwilling to comfort the patient's family? As if he knew Briana was in trouble once again... Briana shook her head, dismissing her suspicions. The doctor was saying what really happened, but her family was willing to distort everything. "Hey, can you all stop that?" Briana retorted, "I won't let you make unfounded accusations against me and my husband!"Is this what Grandma Althea meant about me returning to the family fold? You can consider that agreement still valid; I'll never interact with such relatives!" Turning back, Briana said, "Come on, Luana. We've fulfilled our obligation." Sandro gestured for his daughter. "Daughter, wait, let's talk." Gilson taunted him. "Are you going to hire a defense attorney? Beca
