Meanwhile, at the women's clothing store (one that Melissa would never dream of setting foot on); Elisa is choosing a dress for Melissa.
The occasion for the two to talk as friends ended up coming naturally.
"So, how long have you been dating Josias?" Elisa asks with such certainty that Melissa gets embarrassed.
"Oh, no, he's not my boyfriend anymore." Melissa tries to fix it.
"Sorry, honey, but a man as handsome as Josias can't be without a girlfriend. Run and grab him while there's still time." She speaks while examining the clothes rack.
Melissa blushes with embarrassment. "He's indeed handsome; he looks like an Israeli king, like David."
"Well then, why did you let that sheik go? Were you jealous of the concubines?" Elisa chooses a lilac dress and holds it out to Melissa.
Melissa is mesmerized by the dress, tries on the fabric, and feels it is silk. She is slow to respond because of this.
Smiling at the choice, Elisa takes

Building My Life Chapter 159 Collecting Informations in the Square
At Central Square, Elisa and Melissa are waiting for Tiago's van with the lilac dress she bought and many other plastic bags containing purses, shoes, pantyhose, and makeup. Melissa is amazed and eager to make her neighbors jealous. If Pamela gets jealous, it'd be even better for Melissa.Meanwhile, without them noticing, Everaldo approaches and waits for the bus to Rainbow Garden. He ends up tuning his ear to the ladies' conversation."So, are you really going to dance with Josias at the party?" Elisa asks.Melissa responds dreamily, "If he asks me, yes.""Enjoy it, girl, and accept the marriage proposal." Elisa encourages her."Why are you so sure that he will propose to me?" Melissa doesn't understand her friend's insistence."Because it looks like you were born to each other. You said he had just run away from Rainbow Garden and was short on cash, but he still wanted to help you buy a bottle of shampoo. Well, darling, on this day it was
Building My Life Chapter 160 Being Someone of Middle Class
In Josias's room, he is applying a cream or gel to his hair to make it easier to style. Now with his wardrobe, he can buy and store numerous personal items that were previously missing, such as gel after-shave.He looks in the mirror and checks the look. He smiles, pleased with him. Who knew he would now be wearing a black suit in style, about to go to a wedding party?Josias looks at the shoes that are also new. He was advised by Tiago to buy a shoe polish for them.While walking down the stairs, Josias meets Jeremiah, who promptly mocks him when he sees him well dressed."Where are you going, to a costume party? Are you dressed up as important people?""Is that envy because you will never be like me?" Josias replies in the same tone."You always thought more than you are." Jeremiah speaks contemptuously, "You always acted as if you didn't belong here, as if you were never one of us. One day, buddy, you will wake up from the dream and feel
Building My Life Chapter 161 The Wedding Party
In the ceremonial club, the ample space was decorated all in white, to match the bride's dress. Powerful reflectors instead of ordinary lamps made the place brighter. There weren't many people, as the Bento family was not famous in the city.Josias looked at the guests in general and discerned that they were all basically from the same social life as them, just wearing better clothes. No tycoons, celebrities, politicians, or film and TV artists. Because, knowing Tiago, that was all that was missing from the party.However, this made Josias more relaxed. Being the guests from middle class to down, he and Melissa would not have to worry about etiquette at the table, nor remember to choose cutlery from the outside to inside. Josias mentally bet that the menu would also be on par with the weddings he had already attended when he lived in Rainbow Garden.Round tables covered with white linen towels were also available in the two corners of the club, leaving space in
Building My Life Chapter 162 Marriage Incentives
"You can kiss the bride!" The priest speaks with a slight smile. It is so good to marry young people from a good family and of good nature.Saulo lifts Elisa's veil, and with a romantic smile, the two approach and kiss. Saulo was without his glasses and had to strain his eyes a little, but nobody paid any attention; the kiss was beautiful and everyone claps.Josias, while clapping his hands, reflected on him: if he did not save Elisa from the clutches of Jeremiah, she would no longer be a virgin and probably Saulo would not want to marry her, as everything indicates that Saulo is too (or he wanted to show decorum in front of the priest). And Elisa herself would probably consider herself unworthy to marry someone as correct and decent as Saulo if she went through that nightmare.That is why both Elisa and Saulo will be forever grateful to Josias. And now he's there, with his alleged ex-girlfriend Melissa applauding the newlyweds' kiss.On the dance floor,

Josias abruptly gets up from his seat to face Fabrício. The guests who were nearby are surprised and look at the two men.Melissa, however, takes Josias's arm from where she is sitting. "Josias, don't dare yourself to this cardboard scene. Everyone is looking and the party is not yours.""Don't worry, Melissa." Fabrício smiles with disdain, "It is typical of people like Josias to be hot-headed.""You forget that I also live in Happiness Slum." Melissa counters with annoyance."Not for long." Fabrício smiles mischievously, "In the future, you will emerge from that poverty and be a lady of high society. All that remains now is to know through whom."Josias interprets Fabrício's speech as a pick-up line and prepares to move forward, but Tiago approaches the confusion. "Is there a problem here?"Josias takes a deep breath, but still keeps a frown and a gaze on fire. "This guy is bothering Melissa."Fabrí

A few more weeks go by. Josias continues to study in the Building Technician course. Every once in a while he shows up at Igor's house under construction and ends up giving some guidelines he learned in the course. He is talking to Uélton who is on top of a scaffold."Are you sure that the rope knots are secure? I don't want you to be in an accident." Josias warns him.Uélton, as always, takes it all in play, "Sure, my comrade! Milton made a Boy Scout knot. After all, we can't have accidents; otherwise, it gets worse for the construction company!"Josias purses his lips. He was not necessarily thinking about the company, but about the safety of his best friend."Well, if you can get down, you'll be in the picture." Josias shows him a camera in his right hand."Ah, to take pictures you have to call my brother," Uélton says the joke and steps down from the scaffold.After calling the other bricklayers and helpers, Josias t

Yes, Melissa, say yes!Melissa lets out some tears, such emotion. Jeez, what prevents Melissa from continuing to date Josias? She loves him!"Josias, I'm still not sure... this story with Pamela..." She again touches on the subject as a lame excuse."You will always lean on the slander of your ex-friend to avoid your happiness, is that it?" Josias frowns and is firm with her, "I can't believe you still think I got Pamela pregnant!""All the evidence shows that it is, Josias." Melissa shakes her head and turns away from him."There was never any evidence, Melissa." Josias goes after Melissa, takes her arm vigorously, and makes her face him, "It was rumors and malicious lies from people who want to separate us.""Including Wallace?"That was t
