Josias gets up and approaches his brother, "John, these are your father's words. Is he the one who is pressuring you not to accept my help, insinuating that you are a bloodsucker?"
João Paulo wiggles, "No, those are my words. That's how I feel. I don't want you to think I want to live for nothing and at your expense."
Josias chuckles, "I know very well that you will be able to live on your own and support your family, João. Don't be so worried about it. What about your plans to be a journalist?"
"How can I be a journalist if you clearly hate this profession? I don't mean to offend you." João Paulo gets far away.
"Hey, we already talked about this." Josias holds up his index finger, "You will succeed in your plans no matter my grumbles. And there are other pub

"You lied at your house, before giving Pedro's birthday party. Do you mean that William didn't let Caio come?" Pamela swallows hard. She motions for the two of them to go to the kitchen. Alone, Pamela explains, "Mom, it was Beto's idea; and I, as a wife, had to support him." Cristina raises an eyebrow, "And since when are you the submissive wife type?

Dora is intrigued, "So are you going to invite Pamela, Beto, and everyone from the Chaves family to Caio's birthday?" Melissa grins mischievously, "Why not? I'd love to leave this bunch with a guilty conscience. Never again will they use their kids to hurt us." Carlos also warns Melissa, "You have to be careful, my granddaughter.

Josias smiles slightly, feeling that a revelation was about to come out of Beto's mouth, "Rosemary isn't... what?" Beto shakes his head, "Forget it, I was going to say something stupid." Josias decides not to insist for the time being, "Is there greater nonsense than lying saying that William didn't want to take Caio to your apartment?"

Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two.

João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting.

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back.
