"So, have you chosen the course yet?" He asks anxiously.
"Not yet, Seu Teodoro," Josias puts the catalog on the counter, "but, there are some very interesting ones. Check it out."
Teodoro also looks at the catalog, and after a few moments, points his finger at a specific course. "This one: Building Technician. It’s everything to do with what they want you to do."
Josias reads carefully. "It says here that I can also plan projects. Am I some kind of architect or engineer?"
"Maybe, if you want to specialize in that, there is a separate course. But, I think architecture is done in a college."
"I also think." Josias collects the catalog, "But, I have no spirit for that. I already have to join will for this course, which is two years long. I told Ti

"Guys, don't fight in my building!" Teodoro orders Josias and William.But, it seems that it was the same as asking the opposite. Josias can no longer stand so much rejection from William and goes on top of him, throwing punches and defending himself against William's."You want to fight like a man, right? Now take it!" Josias cries out.Despite being beaten initially, when William manages to hit a punch, the damage is worse on Josias because William is stronger, due to soccer and training at the gym.The two boys crash into the mail closet and almost knock him over. The chairs were pushed and overturned. The punches continue.At one point, William stumbles and falls to the ground. Josias takes advantage and stays on top of William, eager to deliver more punches, but when he looks towards the corridor, Teodoro is returning from the kitchen with a broom."Am I going to have to break this broom on your head or are you going to stop wildness?"<

Simeon returned from work, and now after his bath, he is shirtless at the dinner table, with his wife and children together. The conversation tastes out of dinner."Let's take it easy. This story is very poorly told." Simeon declares."I agree, dear." Dora supports him."Hell that is!" William explodes. "It's all clear as water! Josias is not for my sister. No man is, just to make it stand out.""William, you have an inexplicable anger at Josias, so you believe any lie that can stain him." Dora reasons, "We need to be fair and separate facts from what we want to happen.""If you are not willing to accept what is clear as water," William laments as he chews, "Melissa will only suffer from this.""I think she has suffered enough." Simeon looks at his daughter, and then his heart aches when he sees her with red eyes, just sticking his fork in the food, without ever bringing the food to her mouth."For me, this Pamela is a fake friend."

Building My Life Chapter 134 Do You Need Some Help?
"It was just what I needed." Josias complains, "Now will we have brothers fighting over a problem that is not even theirs? And is all this because of a damn woman?""Don't curse that there are only servants of the Lord in this house!" Wallace appeals to heavenly authority."Ah, I'm not an atheist." Josias scoffs, "For this very reason I will not sit idly while slandering me. Much less I will recommend someone to date a girl like Pamela..." Josias takes a deep breath, "Wallace, if it's really true that you feel anything for Pamela, I beg you to rethink. That girl is synonymous with trouble.""Is just because she didn't like you? That doesn't mean she is not nice to me. She only has prevention with you because of her best friend.""There it is!" Josias yells, disconcerted, "This is where it starts to go wrong. What did I do to make Pamela think I don't deserve to date Melissa? She didn't even know me and was already judging me. She interrupted our conversat

At night, Josias is entering Teodoro's office with a worried face. He goes to the phone and dials a number.On the other side, Melissa's landline rings. Dora and Simeon are in the living room. The patriarch answers."Hello?""Simeon? It's Josias.""I thought you weren't going to call, son." Dora listens and is attentive, understanding that it is Josias."I need to have a serious talk with Melissa, but maybe she doesn't want to see me." Josias's voice is despondent, hopeless."I will call her. But first, Josias, I want you to know that we believe in your nature and your integrity. Melissa loves you despite everything. I will call her."The fact that Melissa's parents believed him gave Josias more courage to fight for his love. Everyone can't believe blindly in a story that doesn't make any sense.However, when Melissa picks up the phone, she is also discouraged and sorry. "Hello, Josias.""Melissa, I love you." Josias say

Josias screams at the top of his lungs, causing Teodoro to appear at the door. Josias did not see him because his back was to him."What are you saying, Melissa? Take a break? Do you want to end our relationship?"Teodoro's eyes widen. Not! The lie is winning."You broke up with me as soon as you saw Pamela as a woman." Melissa is bitterer than scarlet eggplant, "The funny thing is that you are confirming the whole story and are surprised that I react negatively.""Let's take it easy, Wallace's part is a complete lie. I didn't kiss Pamela and I didn't even want to, I was arguing with her because of what Carmen did, accusing me of being the father of the stillborn baby. I went to question Pamela and found out that she was the one who lied to her sister. Wallace saw me and got that crooked idea.""Wallace is an honorable and God-fearing man, for what you said to me yourself. That's why I believe his version.""Do you believe him, but don't you

On the other side, Melissa hangs up, showing sadness, but not as deep as Josias. It seems that she has already cried her share of tears.Simeon risks returning to the room, frowning and withdrawn, "Daughter, we heard some exclamations... what happened between you two?""It happened what had to happen, dad." Melissa turns to him wistfully, "We broke up. It didn't work out.""Oh, daughter… why didn't you fight for your love?" Simeon embraces her."Because there was never love, I think we mixed things up. He admitted everything, Dad."Simeon breaks the hug, not believing 100% in what his daughter says."Did he admit that he cheated on you with Pamela, got her pregnant, and all those horrible things that your mother told me?""Mom said I wasn't supposed to tell you." Melissa frowns.Simeon chuckles. "I am your father, Melissa. I deserve to be aware of things. If Josias were that kind of boy who rapes innocent girls, I would
Building My Life Chapter 138 This Means War
Melissa faces Pamela for everything she has done against her and Josias. After talking to Josias, Melissa connected the dots and came to (correctly) the conclusion that Pamela was lying all the time about hating Josias.All that talk of inducing Melissa to date Fabrício 'because Josias was unworthy of her' was just nonsense. It was all planned: after Melissa and Fabrício were dating, Pamela 'by coincidence' would change her mind and see that Josias was a good guy to date.But, Pamela was one of those people who prefer to die fighting, so she doesn't give up. "Melissa, I understand that you are upset, but that is no reason to offend me. I am in a vulnerable situation and I cannot defend myself.""That's why I say the accident was a blessing." Melissa speaks with disdain, to irritate Pamela, "Now I see who you are, because you are not having time to make up lies. Pamela, how could you? Knowing that I liked Josias... it was better to you be honest, an

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.

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? 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. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. 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

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.

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning.

Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
