After awkwardly falling off the treadmill in a comical way worthy of becoming a ‘meme’ on social media, Adrian stood up, extremely embarrassed, realizing that the beauty he had been watching had long since exited the treadmill and was chatting animatedly with the gym’s personal trainer.Luana shook her head, smiling dismissively. “Forget it, Adrian. Your future is Celia. Maybe not, if she finds out what you did…”“For your information…” Adrian caught his breath, tired from running, “...I’ll be working at the same company where she got a position as an assistant.”“Oh, I’m happy and sad for her at the same time!” Luana mocked. “And you plan to mess up and sabotage the projects at your next job?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Adrian shouted, turning red with anger and not from the exercise.“You know exactly what I mean.” Luana smiled, delighted with the effect she had on Adrian. “You managed to get an intimate video of Mark and Briana, taking what really happened out of con

Mark and Briana were stunned as Luana announced what she had done. Briana approached her friend. “Luana, my husband and I were just talking how dangerous it has been to mess with Adrian.” Luana sat down at her desk. “Where’s the danger? I just approached him while he was working out at the gym and spoke some truths. I would have said more, but the instructor kicked me out. I think I saw a guy in gray too; I don’t know...” Mark smiled slightly, out of Luana’s sight. Vargas must have seen Luana exposing herself unnecessarily.After all, he called Lord Ferro afterward to inform him of what she did. That’s why he spoke up, “Luana, you know Adrian quit because we know he swapped the videos. You know what happened, who drugged Briana.” Luana’s smile faded as she grasped the seriousness of the situation. “Mark, I judged you wrong. At first, I thought you were guilty of everything. When Briana refused to tell me how you two met, I became very suspicious.” “Don’t worry; anyone would be s

James is incredulous when Adrian proposes to be smarter than Mark. “Dude, I don’t want to insult you,” James says while insulting Adrian anyway, “But Mark seems to be omnipresent and omnipotent. He seems to be everywhere at once, knowing everything and everyone, always two steps ahead of humanity.” Adrian purses his lips, incredulous. “Jeez, are you telling me that Mark is some kind of God?” “Maybe!” James grunted, “Maybe that explains why Briana insists on having a guy like him!” Adrian smiled lewdly. “I told you, man: it’s the size of the ‘tool’ that the guy uses on her every night without fail!” James kicks the desk in a fiery rage. “You must have taken a day off to think about dirty stuff today, huh? Is this because you don’t have a girlfriend? Why don’t you make up with yours?” Adrian’s lewd smile faded, feeling his weak spot hit. “It turns out Celia suffers from the same affliction as Briana: she can’t get over Mark.” “She was the one who dumped him to be with you!” James

Night fell and the employees of Vasconcelos Company clocked out to go home. Some secretaries practically ran because they didn’t want to miss the next episode of ‘Love Spins the World.’Katrina encountered Claudia in the hallway. “Why are those women leaving in such a rush? Where’s their work ethic?” “Mom, everyone has been working since early to push my show forward.” Katrina glanced at her father’s office door. “Are you going there too?” “No, I’m heading home to prevent Nadir from getting your grandmother hooked on those ridiculous shows.” Claudia grumbled. “Mom, I’m creating a show too.” Katrina took offense. “But you’re not doing anything cheesy and melodramatic like that show your grandmother decided to watch.” Claudia explained, placing her hands on her daughter’s shoulders. “You’re doing something of quality, worthy of best series awards. And we expect the lead actors to win awards too!” Katrina smiled, feeling more excited. “Well, I hope my dad keeps his right head in th

The new information hit the Vasconcelos family like a bomb. Katrina felt trapped in a repetitive cycle of events involving different family members. Who would be the next to crash their car? Her parents? Grandma Althea, who doesn’t even drive anymore? “Uncle Sandro, don’t come at us with fake news,” Katrina complained, snapping out of her stupor. “Christopher just checked the brakes on MY car! How could the brakes of HIS have been cut?” Sandro, however, frowned, dissatisfied. “I should let you all suffer instead of trying to help! At a time like this, you still cling to conspiracy theories?” James quickly went to the closet. “I’m getting dressed. We’re going to the hospital now, dear!” “Your grandmother is being notified,” Sandro added. “Is she going too?” Katrina asked, fearing the answer. “She said she’s waiting for the last act of the soap opera episode. Once it’s over, she’ll go,” Sandro replied awkwardly, leaving the suite. Katrina sat on the mattress, utterly shocked an
