Josias takes the biggest scare of his life when he finds out who owns the house.
Romualdo took him to the master bedroom, which at this point was being used as if it were the construction headquarters or Romualdo's office. It was there that he made important decisions.
But on this day, the owner of the house was making important decisions. Josias was finally going to meet who was paying his salary.
However, he felt like he was on a television prank. Was he? Is it another coincidence?
Tiago Bento was sitting in a chair by the window, smiling with satisfaction when he saw Tiago.
"I am still waiting for your call, my friend." He starts the conversation.
"Tiago... are you the owner of this house? Are you going to live here?" Josias exclaims with enormous surprise.
"Absolutely, and I am much more pleased to see that it is being well built with you."
Romualdo closes the door and stays inside with the two of them.
There were tw
Josias is now gaping at the new information.Romualdo and Tiago are starting a company and want Josias to be their helper... what do they mean?"Gentlemen, I must warn you that despite my young age, I don't want to be taken for an idiot." Josias frowns, "Do you think I serve as a leader because I am impulsive and like to solve problems? There are other ways to criticize me for that, you did not need to play this joke."Josias once again stands up as if there are ants in the chair."Josias, take it easy!" Romualdo tries to contain him, "We are not making fun of you. In a way, you explained why Tiago believes you have the potential for better positions.""But, I don't want better positions!" Josias exclaims loudly, "I'm barely learning basic service! What am I going to help them with?""You will be our supervisor." Tiago replies, "You will work with us at the office. You will help us solve problems. Did you never notice how people respect you
"Of course you accepted!" Uélton exclaims in a rectangular room, where the future garage of Tiago's new house will be, "You are not even asking me for permission, but confirming that you have accepted.""Actually, scandalous guy, I am asking for your opinion." Josias was regretting seeing Uélton. It looks like he didn't promise at the New Year's party that he would discipline the mouth.Uélton burst out laughing as if he were an Italian. "My Beloved Father... the all-wise man comes to me, asking for my opinion on something so obvious!""It's not that obvious." Josias defends himself, frowning, "Accepting to be their supervisor implies taking on a leadership position. It means that we will no longer be co-workers; it means that I will have to keep an eye on you if you are screwing the switches correctly; if Milton is doing the electrical installation properly so the house doesn't catch fire... do you understand now?"Uélton stop
The two visitors remain standing next to Pamela. She struggles to continue with the smile."Boys, thank you so much for visiting me! How are things going?""We came to hear from you first, Pamela." Wallace says vehemently, "Any news?""Next week I will leave here, I will finish my recovery at home," Pamela speaks with a single breath.Pamela, looking at Josias who is calm, begins to wonder what happened to the older sister's promise. Did Carmen ever tell Melissa that Josias got her pregnant? Melissa and Josias already fought? She decided to take a chance."And you, Josias, how are you doing with Melissa? Is everything okay with my best friend?""We look great. She already told you that we are dating, right?" Josias replies smiling.Pamela strengthens her smile even more, when in fact she wants to scream in anger. "Yes, my congratulations. Everything indicated that this was really going to happen. Did she forget Fabrício?"<
However, Pamela also remembers Wallace. Another guy she's crazy to get along with. Wallace would be the perfect husband: calm, humble, gentleman, handsome, manly, and hot. Who should Pamela choose?While Pamela is undecided, at least she already knows who NOT to choose. However, it's precisely the failed candidate who appears in the room, hours after Josias and Wallace leave."It's already past visiting hours," Pamela informs her as soon as she sees someone's shadows at the door.The person, ignoring the information, runs his hand over the wall until he finds the switch and turns on the light, revealing Pamela's astonished and terrified face.Fabrício is smiling with a package in his hands."If you take another step," Pamela threatens in a low voice so as not to wake the other patients, "I scream for the nurses!"Fabrício approaches her and Pamela shouts nothing."These threats are not going to intimidate me." Fabr&iacut
Carmen is again at Melissa's house, but this time it is not to reveal the 'truth' about Pamela's pregnancy."And where does Josias live, is around here?" She asks, pretending to be casual."Yes, do you know Teodoro's building on Hope Street? It's there. It's one of the little rooms, suitable for single men.""Have you seen what his room looks like?" Carmen asks without disguising the intention.Melissa shakes her head frantically. "I never was and I will never go! I will only be alone with Josias in our master bedroom, after the honeymoon!"Carmen smiles ironically. She thinks, 'While you protect yourself from him, he is already impregnating your friends.' And she says, "Well, I better get going, it's late. Next week Pamela will be back.""I'm praying for her, girl..."From here William is walking down the corridor to the living room and ends up listening to Melissa's final words."... Even more after learning that she suffered
Melissa hugs Josias, touched by the news. William can barely contain himself in anger.With the screams, Simeon and Dora appear from the kitchen."What happened, people?" Simeon asks."Daddy," Melissa breaks the hug and turns to him, "you are looking at the new construction supervisor! Josias will no longer be the bricklayer assistant that so many despise!"William feels personally struck by Melissa's speech.Simeon and Dora vibrate together with Melissa. The owner of the house addresses the future son-in-law."Congratulations, future son-in-law!" The two men embrace."I hope I have enough money to pay for the wedding party." Josias jokes."The father here has to contribute as well." Simeon scratches his head, "But, are you already thinking about marriage? Isn't it too soon?""Yeah, I agree too!" William protests."Son, get a clue." Dora scolds him, "Soon you will also have your little girlfriend and you will want
Josias says goodbye to Melissa, Simeon, and Dora and leaves for his house. Even though he was used to the atmosphere of Happiness Slum, he never wanted to be late at night on the streets.He barely imagines that upon arriving at Seu Teodoro's building, Josias will find another problem to solve.Teodoro is annoyed by Jeremiah's attempt to discredit Carmen concerning Josias."Don't be so mean, Jeremiah. Are you forgetting the day that Josias saved your skin?" He counters.Jeremiah breaks the smile. Damn, Josias told him! If the word gets out, everyone will think he's a coward, that a kid saved his skin."We talked about it, but he didn't want to raise the peace flag." Jeremiah shrugs and says that lame excuse.Carmen shakes her head. "Josias is not a good boy; but, much less you, huh? I already understand the type of residents of this building.""Oh, miss, don't you dare!" Teodoro turns to Carmen, his index finger raised, his brow furro
Now two men are lying in bed, thinking about Pamela's short pregnancy.William, lying in his underwear, cannot sleep. He has already listened to the AC/DC tape three times. Yes, when he was with Pamela, she 'Shook him all night long'. He thought she was an attractive girl and realized that she had the same opinion.However, losing his virginity with her was not the thing described in the soap operas that his mother watches. After the pleasure, guilt and shame came. And now, the depression in knowing that he had managed to get Pamela pregnant, only for her to lose the child that had barely begun to form in her womb.William shifts his position, trying to sleep. He takes the blanket and covers himself up to his neck; today the weather is cool and pleasant. He closes his eyes, but in his mind, he can see Pamela avoiding the accident, but after a few weeks, vomiting and fainting, being questioned by the family and Melissa, getting fat, having wishes, the womb becomi
