Katherine thinks she has heard ghosts when Jock tells her that Josias will not marry her.She goes to the radio and turns it off.Jock gives a slight smile so it doesn't make it obvious he's amused by her suffering, “Did you hear me right, did the music get in the way?”“Stop making fun of me.” Katherine turns to him, “How could you be sure this is what my Josias wants? The Sunset Village mansion will be built and we will live together as a family.”“Looks like you don't stand a chance. I was at the Rocha Hotel and I heard Josias Rocha talking to the chief financial officer, Tiago Bento. He wants to know if Angela is a more pleasant person to live with.”“So he's not enjoying living with me?” Katherine is shocked.“One of the reasons is that damn radio with the volume up!” Jock warns her, “I stayed fifteen minutes ringing the doorbell.”“And how did you get in?” Katherine crosses her arms.“The doorman tried to call to announce me, but you didn't answer.”From the living room, they he
At the Ramos Supermarket, Gustavo is taking a break from work. He rests in a corner of the store while watching the other people's activity.Tiago finds him and approaches him, “Excuse me, I'm looking for Gustavo and your colleagues told me it was you.”“Yes, it's me.” Gustavo is surprised.Tiago extends his hand, “Pleased to meet you, I'm Tiago Bento, CFO of Rocha Constructions. I need to talk to you, young man.”Gustavo shakes Tiago's hand with interest, “What can I help you with?”“My master Josias Rocha wants to know if Angela is easy to get along with. You know, he's going to build the mansion in Sunset Village and he's thinking about formalizing the union with one of the concubines.”Gustavo finds it funny how everyone calls Katherine and Angela 'concubines' as if this were true, “I understand. Well, I can assure you that I have nothing against my friend. Angela is a quiet person.”“And you don't have any romantic relationship with her?”“No, we're just roommates.” Gustavo wiggl
Josias and João Paulo enter the penthouse and are surprised by the heavenly silence. Radio is not making everyone deaf.“What miracle is this?” João Paulo marvels, “Do we finally have peace?”“I can't believe it unless she's sleeping.” Josias suspects with irony.However, Josias's hunch is unfounded. They hear the pressure cooker whistle.Both brothers go there and find Katherine in an apron operating the pots. She checks rice with sausage and another pan with roasted chicken and vegetables.She proudly turns to the Rocha brothers, “Good evening, everyone! Dinner is almost ready. Go shower and change.”Katherine's domesticated voice also surprises both of them.“Thank you, Kate.” Josias is forced to acknowledge, “I hope dinner is appetizing.”Josias and João Paulo leave.“What animal bit her?” João Paulo has not yet assimilated the novelty.“The bug of common sense.” Josias solemnly responds, “Just as I am trying to choose who will be the next Mrs. Rocha...”João Paulo smiles mischiev
Elza finds her pretty happy hubby whistling the song “Merry-Go-Round” by Deborah Blando. He even misses the knot on his shoelaces, but he doesn't even notice.“Is it happiness to finally have a civil conversation with your son?”“It was terrific, honey!” Vernon vibrates as if he were the same age as João Paulo, “Without him realizing it, he and I agreed on something: that William Campos will pay for having offended you!”Vernon gets up from the couch and Elza hugs him, “And best of all, Josias didn't stir up animosity. You have to admit that this time he was a gentleman.”Vernon shakes his head, “Yeah... maybe. All in due time. What are we going to do about William?”Elza puts her hand on her chin and meditates, “Um... how about we find out something about him and publish it in the newspaper?”“Public defamation has always been our best weapon.” Vernon agrees, “Although it didn't work with Isabel Freire.”“It didn’t work with that slum dweller because Josias supported her.” Elza remi
In Beto's office, he and Pamela face off over the confusion involving him and Miguel. Beto smiles mockingly when he realizes that he managed to make Miguel jealous.“As I see, the handsome one lacks self-confidence, eh? I bet he brutally and cruelly pounded you to 'remind' you that you married him.” Beto mocks her.“On the contrary, yesterday he barely kissed me good night!” Pamela responds furiously.“So he's disgusted with you! He knows that months ago we had our bestial coitus session.” Beto's eyes are shining with lust.However, Pamela kicks him again, this time drawing blood from Beto's nose!After moaning in pain, Beto complains, “What strong legs are these? Are you working out at a gym?”Pamela brags, “At the Damascene house we have some exercise and weight machines. I need to be a strong woman: the damsel in distress is out of fashion!”“You slut!” Beto misses the fun and barks with the blood still oozing, “Go back to your cuckold husband! One more kick and I'll report you, hu
In the Rocha penthouse, Katherine is talking to her father on the phone.“Dad, has the phone company already run the cables to the farm?”“No, I still have to come to Itaporanga.” Ephraim complains, “Daughter, have you finished packing to go home?”Katherine rolls her eyes, “Dad, stop asking that. I love Josias and I will be Mrs. Rocha.”“That's funny, I don't find any of that in the papers that come around here.”“That's exactly why I don't want to go back to the countryside!” Katherine barks, “We seem to be isolated from the rest of the world!”“Oh, so things are happening there?” Ephraim asks with understanding.“Yes, I am managing to please Josias as an exemplary housewife and mother. By the way, I need to take J.J to the dentist because he's having his teeth changed. You never ask how your grandson is.”Ephraim says again, “Okay, daughter, I won't make you late for your appointment. Goodbye!”“Bye, d—” Katherine realizes that Ephraim has already hung up. She hangs up the phone an
Elza visits Josias at Rocha Constructions. Mother and son help themselves to coffee in the kitchen, missing Shirley's cookies.“Where's the shortbread lady, son?”“I don't know, mother. Today she is late.” Josias frowns.“Well, are you aware that your stepfather and I are not going to divorce anymore?”Josias smiles slightly, “João Paulo told me. I found the two of them talking at the entrance to the building.”“I love him so much, my son... I am sorry for the loss of Tony and so I don't want history to repeat itself.”“Well, at least I have to admit that Vernon isn't lazy. He was fired from Marçal Publishing but managed to get another job at LCN.”“I'm glad João Paulo got along with him before traveling to Victoria.” Elza sighs.Josias seizes the moment, “Mom, can I ask you for advice?”“Of course, my son.”“I'm thinking of taking one of the girls to the Sunset Village mansion. I was almost determined to choose Angela, but since yesterday Katherine has become an exemplary housewife.”
On Saturday, the party in honor of Rocha Constructions takes place in the Rocha Hotel party pavilion. The occasion was also given for the opening of the same hotel.All the guests parade through the exquisite space in their gala attire. The party was set to the song “Fields of Gold” by Sting.Maggiezine photographers went out of their way to capture the best moments. The next issue would feature the party as a cover article to attract readers.Josias posed alone for the photos. This was not the time to cause love disputes or disagreements by posing with Melissa.Melissa, in turn, entered the pavilion wearing an imposing red sleeveless dress, with a shawl of the same color covering her shoulders. Kelvin was beside her looking sexy in his tuxedo.Angela understood that Josias deserved rest and didn't insist on clinging to him like a gecko. She and Gustavo sat at a table with David to nibble on snacks.“Aren't you going to take pictures with David's father?” Gustavo asks her.“I know ver
