Harold welcomes Caio, Reuben, and Alan to his house. They both set their backpacks down awkwardly on the floor and collapse on the couch.“Hey, how was school?” Harold leaves their backpacks spread out and sits in the armchair.“We had a math test. I hate this subject.” Alan grumbles.“For you, it's more than necessary, Alan.” Harold chuckles, “You will inherit Rocha Constructions and will need to study Mathematics, Finance, Economics, Engineering...”Alan pretends to have a headache, “Don't scare me, Seu Harold...”Caio nods, “I'm glad you already have a job, Alan. I don't know what I'm going to do.”Harold encourages the boys, “Oh, there's so much, Caio. Don't you want to be a bricklayer like your uncle Josias?”Alan waggles his index finger, “Nope, folks. Caio, when I own Rocha Constructions, all of you will work with me.”“Me too?” Reuben asks.“You, Rosemary, Pedro, and even the other brother who I don't even know his name yet,” Alan declares.Harold marvels at Alan's determinati
Harold watched with interest as Alan unwittingly led his friends' to play with the Lego toy Josias had bought him before the divorce. The toy was being assembled on the coffee table.“Wrong piece, Reuben.” Alan calmly said, “You have to follow logic like a puzzle piece.”“But this is not a puzzle.” Reuben scratches the back of his head.“The assembly principle is the same.”Harold goes to the radio and turns it on. Duran Duran's song “Ordinary World” sets the scene in the living room.“There is no doubt, Alan. You will preside over Rocha Constructions.” Harold praises the boy.“Only Uncle Will who has doubts. No offense, Caio.”Caio shrugs, “I don't take offense. I don't even know why my dad wants to be president now, only to have to give up the throne to you later.”Alan drops a piece, “Uncle Will wants to be president now? But my father didn't die, it was a prank!”Harold realizes how the subject distresses the boys, “Boys, don't bother with these grown-up matters. Keep playing, it'
In Crystal Blue, the situation gets extremely tense. Kelvin approaches Melissa and takes her by the arms so she doesn't get hit by Maggie.“Melissa, don't stoop to that humiliation.”“Sorry, Kelvin! I know she is your sister.”Shirley adds more fuel to the fire, “Don't worry, honey! My daughter is the one who offended you and owes you an apology.”Maggie is disgusted and with her hand on her face slapped, “I don't have to apologize for anything! I'm going to talk to my husband right now! You will see Pamela Damascene ruling this city; now it will be my personal goal to do that!”Shirley tries to stop Maggie, but she runs away.“Maggie, come back here!” Shirley puts her hand on her glabella, “Well, now her magazine is going to go bankrupt.”Daryl wonders, “Is she going to promote a promiscuous whore like a 'society lady'?”“She had a great marriage with Roberto Reis.” Melissa informs them, “And she threw it all away to get a secretary job. Now she married her boss and had her fifth chi
Maggie bursts into Bernardo's office in tears. Bernardo quickly gets up to hug his crying wife.“Dear! For God's sake, who hurt you! I kill the bastard who dared to harm you!”During the hug, Maggie asks, “So are you going to kill Melissa Campos?”The hug is undone. Bernardo clears his throat unnecessarily.“Can you rationally tell me what happened?”Maggie ignores the 'rationally' as if Bernardo calls her hysterical, and sniffles, “I went to Crystal Blue to happily tell my brothers about the interview I did with Pamela Damascene. My mother and Melissa Campos went against my intentions. I argued with Miss Campos and she slapped me!”Bernardo hardens his face, “Why did she do that?”“She still maintains an immature feud between her and Mrs. Damascene. Well, I won't be intimidated.”Bernardo is apprehensive, “Can I see how the interview got?”Maggie smiles through her tears, “Oh, honey... I already sent the text to the layout and print team!”Bernardo sinks both hands into his face. Now
Josias enters Octavio's office. He and three architects are planning floor plans for numerous projects, as the number of Rocha Constructions' clients is increasing dramatically.“Octavio, I didn't mean to bother you.” Josias closes the door.Octavio raises his head to him, “You don't bother me, boss.”Josias smiles with the “boss”, “I need your opinion. I'm thinking of selling the penthouse and looking for another home for myself. The memories I had in the 80s are killing me.”Octavio interrupts him, “And so you finally decided on the mansion in Sunset Village.”Josias is amazed at how quickly Octavio completed what he said, “Everyone expects me to live there.”“Josias, only you still don't understand what Everaldo told you.” Octavio expresses his opinion, “He said that God promised you all the good and the best. And the best thing about Lagoon City today is the Sunset Village neighborhood.”“So you already know what I want.” Josias smiles mischievously.Octavio nods, “Yes, you want u
At Rocha Constructions, Vânia is listening to Shirley's whimpers concerning Maggie and her desire to promote Pamela Damascene.Vânia purses her lips as she helps herself to buttered cookies, “But, that can't be, Shirley! Does your daughter not know how much Josias and Melissa suffered at the hands of this Pamela?”“Of course she knows!” Shirley is disgusted, “Pamela Damascene had the nerve to say everything in the interview. The bitch doesn't even deny the promiscuous past. She only lies by including Josias in her list of lovers.”“I also heard this story. The truth is that Pamela from the beginning wanted to sleep with Josias, so she and Melissa stopped being friends.”Shirley smiles devilishly, “However, I felt vindicated when Melissa slapped my daughter! Of course, I sparked the discussion so your niece would do what I wanted to do.”“Shirley, if this story comes out... it's going to be chaos. Josias became a client of the law firm of Pamela's current husband. If Josias wants to su
At the General Hospital, Adolfo is being medicated after suffering a violent punch from Jock. Benjamin and Vânia are with him and the doctor who applies a bandage.“Ready. I suggest you go home and rest. You'll be brand new tomorrow, Mr. Teixeira.”“I won't be new, doctor.” Adolfo jokes. There's a dressing on his nose.“Excuse me, I need to see other patients.” The doctor leaves.Vânia takes advantage of the doctor's absence to complain, “Adolfo, you don't have Ben's age or ability to fight.”Adolfo smiles, “One is never too old to defend my beloved wife.”Vânia has a start. Who has flirted with her and been lacking in decorum since November of last year?Benjamin hardens his gaze, “Father, Uélton told me about the fight in detail. How is this guy who thinks he can win my mother over?”“He came from the countryside and even has a good appearance and physical constitution. He looks like he was some farmer's foreman, I'm not sure.” Adolfo feels slight pain in his face and leans back on
Following day. In the dining room, Katherine is feeding J.J with applesauce. She has a sad face.She looks around the retro-styled room and sighs in regret.Josias and João Paulo notice Katherine's gaze as if she were a lost dog.“What are you sighing about so much, Kate?” Josias scoffs at her, “Postpartum depression?”“Pre-Moving Depression.” Katherine speaks with mild aggression, “This place is beautiful, Josias, you can't sell it.”“The era of Rocha penthouse is over.” João Paulo responds as he spreads strawberry jam on the bread, “Here’s the Melissa Campos brand.”“If I stay here, I'll have to remarry her.” Josias provokes Katherine's feelings.Katherine freaks out, “NO! Let's sell this crap and get out of here!”Josias smiles mischievously, “If you behave yourself, Kate, maybe we'll have a home of our own in Sunset Village.”Katherine shifts from desperate to excited within seconds. She wanted to clap, but J.J was on her lap.****** At Simeon's house, the radio is playing “Dream
