"Hello, Seu Teodoro." Melissa approaches the counter, sheepish and shy. "Is Josias here by any chance?"
Teodoro turns to Romualdo, "This is the girl, Romualdo." And then he turns to her, "My daughter, I thought you should know that Josias is working at this hour."
"Oh, yes, I forgot." Melissa is visibly embarrassed, "Well, he's not showing up or calling..."
"How was he going to do that, my dear?" Teodoro smirks, "If he broke up with you?"
Melissa feels punched. Romualdo feels that Teodoro is taking it hard and looks at him, but Teodoro looks back at him as if to say 'leave it to me'.
"Well, I thought we could go on as friends. I wanted to know how he was doing."
"He is working during the day and studying at night, he is studying Building Technician, to correspond to the job that was offered," Teodoro responds harshly.
"Oh, it's

On Tuesday, Romualdo and Josias enter Tiago's house. It is worth mentioning that this is the new house, now finished and furnished.Josias widens his eyes when he sees how the house looked; it seems to be the cover of a magazine that tells the life of the rich and famous. The navy blue sofa was so comfortable that Josias was tempted to jump on it like a child, but he holds on in time. The rug on which he stepped was not a simple crochet rug. On the walls, three frames by anonymous painters.Tiago appears with a tray containing porcelain cups and coffee to drink. The three men help each other when Tiago sits in the armchair, which most resembles a king's throne."One day, master, you will have one of these," Tiago speaks to Josias in a joke."Who knows, God willing..." Josias smiles and answers humbly."Ah, but he wants to, my friend." Tiago responds with joy, "Well, I called you both to tell you news. Our company has finally been approved by the Go

Teodoro is once again thrilled to hear the great news from Josias that he is going to occupy an important position anyway. Josias still shows humility and fear."People think I am bothered by humble services, but no! I like to learn. Robson was teaching me how to build a wall; it is not just placing the bricks and covering them with cement on top. There is a whole technique for the wall doesn't crumble or become crooked.""I understand, Josias," Teodoro replies excitedly, "but, you should just raise your hands and thank God for this opportunity. Working in a better job is not a sin. And remember what Everaldo promised."Josias leans over the counter, thrilled to think of his missing friend. "Did Everaldo promise that I would be a millionaire for having seen me all a beggar and without a shirt? But, it is not what I wanted!

Josias identifies with the boy and this time decides not to interfere."I said, she was in my room last year, right there in Seu Teodoro's building..." Jeremiah lets out a disgusting burp, which bothers even the third girl.The boy turns to Elisa. "Honey, is this the guy who tried to rape you?"Jeremiah lets out a nasty laugh.

"Humph, this is as much as he can get, being a peon." He approaches his sister and changes his tone to the excitement, "Don't worry, sis.

On Wednesday, Fabrício was already calling Melissa. Dora answers, with the broom in the other hand because she was sweeping."Hello?""Ms. Campos? This is Fabrício. I would like to speak with Melissa.""I just don't know if she would like to talk to you. Young man, why don't you give up at once? It was always clear that she was never interested in you, that she was only staying with you on the recommendation of her false friend. There was never love."On the other side, Fabrício is thinking about how to kill Dora without leaving any trace of suspicion. Why did everyone decide to hate him?He takes a deep breath and decides to continue the conversation, paying attention to the detail of the 'false friend'."False friend?""Yes, Melissa and Pamela broke the friendship.

"Jeremiah, let's talk in my office."Josias stops smiling and concentrates on bread with mortadella, sensing serious conversation. When Jeremiah and Teodoro enter the office, the latter closes the door."Is there a problem, Seu Teodoro?""Do you still have the nerve to ask?" Teodoro sits at the desk, "I was informed by Josias about the terrible scene you set up at the bar. Were you trying to get another girl drunk to bring her here?"Jeremiah's eyes widen and he swears at Josias in his thoughts.

Josias feels unworthy to receive Elisa's wedding invitation. He lowers his head and shakes it."What is it, Josias?" Elisa asks, puzzled."No, Miss Bento, I am not worthy of receiving that invitation." Josias tries to explain himself. "What I did at the bar, anyone would do in my place.""Anyone who wasn't that drunk," Igor replies, "but speaking of that unfortunate neighbor of yours, it didn't look like anyone was going to defend my sister."Josias had to agree on that. Elisa's screams for help should have awakened those who live next to Jeremiah. But the tenant did not appear until Josias had broken through Jeremiah's door.

And she is right because Fabrício had not been informed of the fight."How funny, Mom didn't tell me about your phone call.""She must have forgotten."

Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe

In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
