A few days passed. The Campos family is celebrating the renewal of ‘Sweet Love’.At Simeon's house, Melissa is hugged by Dora.“Daughter, what a thrill! You know your mom is the number one fan, right?”“I believe in you, mother.” Melissa thanked her for the compliment.Alan jokes, “Sorry, Mom, but I prefer Spider-Man.”William, as usual, is irritating and bitter, “Good thing, kid. I was already suspicious of you.”“WILL!” Simeon interrupts his son insulting his grandson.Alan just shrugs and eats his piece of walnut cake.Melissa sits next to the kids and Kelvin, “I'm seriously considering hiring Jack Motta to be a new character.”William does ‘tsk’ with his tongue, “Oh, what do women see in this guy?”Kelvin jokingly responds, “The same they see in you.”Alan laughs so hard, making him choke on the piece of cake he's been chewing. Kelvin slaps him on the back to help him.“Be careful, my little grandson.” Dora warns him, and then turns to Melissa, “If Jack Motta accepts the role, the
Kelvin is driving back to the penthouse. Melissa is thoughtful in the passenger seat. Alan and Caroline are each with a piece of the walnut cake made by Grandma Dora.“Honey, do you think Angela and Gustavo will try something?”“I don't think so, I'm sure,” Melissa responds in a funereal tone.“Don't worry, my love. I will be around to protect you.” He smiles at her.“I need to speak with Josias so that HE will protect us all,” Melissa responds.Kelvin doesn't take offense, “Okay, let's see if he can hear us.”“I just hope Daryl doesn't mind, as I'm talking about the safety of my kids.”Alan swallows the last bit, “What's going on, Mom?”Melissa is startled and turns around with a comforting smile, “Nothing's happening, son.”Alan thought his mother's smile came on too quickly, “Really? Just now I was listening to you with a sad tone.”Melissa is surprised to see that her son is no longer ignorant, “Alan, enjoy your happy childhood. When you are of age, you will realize how difficult
In Teodoro's building, Cristina and Moacyr are announcing to Diane the decision they have made concerning the management of the place. In keeping with tradition, the lobby radio is playing “Estoy Aqui” by Shakira.Diane is stunned by the information, “Auntie... I can't imagine the building without you two!”Cristina giggles, “Have I become such an integral part of the smooth running of this place?”“Certainly.” Diane warmly states, “And who will take care of the place?”“Someone who has no impediments.” Moacyr replies, “We thought about calling Carmen, but she has James to take care of. Josias is talking to Roberto Reis, although he has an important position at the Ramos supermarket.”Diane shrugs, “Still, he's the best option. After all, he is the son and is supposed to inherit this building.”“His sister is busy being a prostitute in the capital.” Cristina adds with a contemptuous tone, “If she comes back, the tenants will leave in a stampede.”“Not to mention the Freire family is r
Diane visits Daryl at Crystal Blue. She finds her boyfriend extremely stressed after debating with Bernardo in vain.“Honey, I have some interesting news, but now I'm afraid to share it.” She is afraid to even approach him.Daryl goes to the bar. Diane catches up with him as he pours himself a shot of brandy.“Sometimes I think that we are the ones who drink the most around here.” Daryl makes fun of himself and drinks the dose in one gulp.“Do you want me to tell you the good news?” Diane takes a risk.“Yes, go ahead, my love.”“Uncle Moacyr wants to move out of Teodoro’s building.” Diane smiles, “Aunt Cristina wants to step down as manager to take care of my uncle who is recovering from their car accident. They also want me to be free to marry you and help out at the restaurant.”Daryl smiles too, “That would be very interesting.”“So how about we set the wedding date?” Diane enthuses, “We can arrange the engagement once Maggie and Bernardo forgive each other.”Daryl is apprehensive
The next day, Uélton and Wallace are entering the Sunset Village construction site together. They come across a totally different Jock Russo: new-smelling denim pants and jacket, branded white T-shirt, All-Stars sneakers, and a smile modified by great dentists.“Wow, Jock!” Uélton, as always, is the first to break the silence, “How handsome you are! Model work paid off, huh?”“Hello, Uélton. Who is this dude?” He points to Wallace, “You two look alike.”Wallace notices that there is a slight embarrassment on Uélton's part and introduces himself, “I am Wallace Freire, the older brother who was dead but has come back to life.”“Don't need so much drama, bro.” Uélton opines between clenched teeth.Jock senses the animosity, “Ehr... I hope I'm not getting into something I shouldn't.”“There is no danger, sir.” Wallace says with a smile, “You didn't know me because I was in prison.”“OK, I need to check on my team.” Uélton abruptly goes inside the house under construction.Jock gets more e
Jock is among his former construction colleagues, all celebrating the success of the current advertising model.“Dude, if my wife calls you, tell her you're already married!” One of the workers jokes and everyone laughs.“Guess I'll have to unsubscribe from Maggiezine.” Uélton jokes.“Guys, thanks for everything. I’ll miss you all.” Jock speaks emotionally.Simeon pats him on the shoulder, “We'll miss you too, but it's good that one of us leaves this environment for better things.”Everyone applauds Simeon's speech.After the silence, everyone makes room to see Josias approaching with the white helmet. Wallace notices how Josias imposes fear and respect without even uttering a comma.“Indeed, the guy has become powerful.” Wallace asserts through clenched teeth in awe.Josias realizes that Jock is the reason for the celebration, “Hello everyone. Don't worry, I won't have your salary cut. Jock, did you come to say goodbye?”“Exactly, Mr. Rocha. Thank you very much for the opportunity, b
Wallace is mixing mortar for the masons to plaster the walls of one of the rooms. Unlike Uélton, Wallace masterfully operates the hoe.Uélton arrives from behind and has the feeling of being passed over. He looks to the side and finds the battery-powered radio playing “If It Makes You Happy” by Sheryl Crow.“Hey, what's my little radio doing here?” He uses this as a lame excuse to keep bothering his older brother.Wallace continues unabated, “It was already there. I turned it on.”“And who permitted you? The radio is mine!” Uélton complains as if he were a tantrum child.Wallace just smiles and straightens up, facing his younger brother.“What's your problem?”“The problem is that you are masterfully operating the hoe when Josias had to teach me from scratch,” Uélton reveals what's inside him.“I wasn't born knowing that.” Wallace assures him, “I was taught yesterday.”“But how do you manage? You are still rickety after spending nine years in the penitentiary.” Uélton doesn't give up
Jock is at Rocha Constructions finishing his resignation with HR. After that, he goes to Alfred's office to say goodbye.“Mr. Paterson, you deserve to know as Head of Engineering that I will no longer be on any construction teams,” Jock announces.“Are you sure about that, Jock?” Alfred asks calmly.“Yeah. I am filling the vacancy of someone who needs to work as a bricklayer. I decided to stay as a model.”“I saw your double-page picture in this week's issue of Maggiezine.” Alfred winks.Jock blushes slightly. They convinced the newbie to dare in that photo which did not go unnoticed even among men.After hugs and goodbyes, Jock is leaving and finds Katherine working at the desk. She was attending someone.“I will forward your call to the responsible department.” Katherine sees Jock and is temporarily petrified, forgetting to forward the call.“Hello, Kate.” Jock smiles at her, friendly.Katherine wakes up from the memory of the centerfold and transfers the call. Then, she straightens
