2021-06-08 18:36:38Josias 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. If it weren't for that...
"I think you are thinking that I am on the same level as you." Josias continues to dodge.
With that, Uélton approaches and takes the invitation from Elisa. "He accepts, madam."
Josias is startled by Uélton's sudden appearance and his daring.

Is something wrong?"Melissa takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself, but her voice comes out shaky."Yes, didn't you know that I broke the friendship with Pamela?""Your mother told me over the phone and I came to find out exactly what happened, and if I could help with anything."Melissa sees sincerity in Fabrício's countenance. 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." Now Fabrício is pretending with a yellow smile."Well, I don't know if I'm allowed to let you in, so I answer you right here at the entrance: I found out that Pamela had lost her virginity to Josias while she pretended to hate him in my p

Neighbors start to come out and notice the confusion.Embarrassed, Fabrício wraps his arm behind Pamela and pulls her out of Melissa's door. "Hey, you freak! Do you want her to call the police?

Tiago receives Josias with concern when he sees his countenance."What happened, master? Sit down, let's talk.""I came here to ask you for another favor, my friend." Josias sits on the navy blue sofa. The comfort of the furniture makes him calm down a little."Well then, tell me about both matters." Tiago sits in the armchair, settling in as if he were indeed a king, "My employees need to be happy to do their jobs well."Josias smiles at that phrase, and after taking a deep breath, spills the whole story of Melissa, Fabrício, and Pamela, ending at the last meeting.Tiago slowly fades his smile, and when he finishes listening, he is already frowning and with clenched fists."Who does this idiot think he is? Is he from Saint Gabriel? Do you know his last name?"Josias feels a shiver. What does Tiago want to know his full name for?"I think it was Cerqueira, I don't remember..." Josias adds the last piece to see if he disc

Somewhat upset that she was visited by Fabrício, Josias knocks on Melissa's door. She opens it with apprehension, still vigilant."Melissa? Take it easy, it's me. Was Fabrício's visit that unpleasant?"Melissa could have lied, but she decided to ask, "How did you know that Fabrício visited me?""We met at the corner of your street." Josias smiles slightly, "And believe me, it was not a fraternal meeting.""Oh, Josias, I'm sorry... come in, please." Melissa opens space and Josias enters. The two sit on the couch."Mom is making nut cake if you wait..." Melissa tries him with a smile."Look, I think I'm going to try another recipe from my mother-in-law—" Josias stops and puts his hand over his mouth, "Ehr... I'm sorry, Melissa."Josias is still thinking about Melissa as his girlfriend, and talking about Elisa's wedding ended up confusing his mind, as if he were going to talk about his wedding with Melissa.

Thursday, Pamela appears in the living room, radiant and wide awake, coming down the stairs with a fuss to make sure her leg is fully healed."Oh, how good it is that I am no longer disabled! I need to thank Mr. Bento satisfactorily for all the good that he has done."For Pamela's depraved and sickly mind, 'thanking' Tiago is going to his bed and not leaving until they both pass out from exhaustion.There is a knock on the door and Pamela answers without asking who it is. If it were Fabrício, she was already screwed. But, it was someone worse..."JOSIAS??"Pamela's scream was so scandalous that Carmen came running out of the kitchen."What is the bricklayer helper doing here?" Carmen yells, "Pam, I thought you were done with this antic!""You two keep quiet that I am the one who will speak!" Josias punches the door, opening it fully, and strides in, staying in the middle of the living room. He's frowning and his gaze is bloody.

Josias is walking to Tiago's house and trying not to laugh in the middle of the street, remembering how the Chaves sisters went from excited to angry in the blink of an eye."As I suspected, she always kept an eye on me. That talk about getting away from Melissa, saying that I was not worthy for her, was all bullshit. Pamela wanted to get away from me so I could stay with her. She liked the body of the 'bricklayer helper'."Josias smiles again. Pamela's stunning face will stay in his mind for many days.When Tiago receives him, he tells what he did. Tiago listens with some apprehension."When I was with them to talk about the medical treatment, they didn't seem so mundane and inconsequential." He ponders."Take care, Tiago." Josias warns with his index finger, "They are this way, like spiders in a web: first they trick you into being a sweet person, then they trap you. I shouldn't have taken her to my room...""Well, that's in the past. Some

William is not the only one to be irritated by Josias and Melissa's rapprochement. At Uélton's house, he announces to his brother when they are about to sleep."Josias was invited to attend the wedding of Tiago Bento's sister. That is an honor!"Wallace just does 'tsk' and shrugs. He takes off his clothes while Uélton is already under the covers."He won two invitations and was thinking about calling me, but I logically told him to invite someone else who was worth it."It was better for Uélton to quiet, but he cannot discipline his mouth, as Josias had asked many times. Wallace, now in his underwear, sits on the bed and opens the blanket to cover him."Of course he will prefer to take a call girl instead of you. I'm saying you only think about this guy, let him take a breath!"Uélton smiles from the corner of his mouth, enjoying the effect he intends to have on his brother. "I wouldn't call her a 'call girl' if I

But, William is reacting with revolt and outrage."How dare you ask me for such a thing? I don't like my sister being treated with a lack of decorum!"Wallace breaks his smile and finds William's reaction strange. "What did you say? It's not like that, buddy. I just want Melissa's good.""That's what everybody says, but if I blink, Melissa becomes a single mother!" William pushes Wallace aside, "Excuse me, man, before I'm late!"Wallace doesn't give up and pulls William by the backpack. "Wait, boy, let's talk straight! You don't even know me to say whether I'm worthy or not for your sister."William looks at Wallace as if he's casting laser beams from his eyes.

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.

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

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. 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. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

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.

Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
