"Silva Construction, how can I help you?" Melissa picks up a pen and paper and starts to write the message, "He isn't there, could you leave a message?" She finishes writing down, "OK, as soon as he gets back I'll say you called. Bye!" She hangs up.
Elisa smiles with satisfaction. "My dear, you answer the phone like no one else."
"I am shaking with nervousness," Melissa speaks, smiling but with shaking hands.
Elisa takes Melissa's shaking hand. "You get the hang of it, and get used to it quickly."
Melissa purses her lips, she doesn't know if it's okay to tell Elisa what's really bothering her. Elisa notices the silence.
"Or, is it something else that is taking away your peace?"
Melissa quickly arranges a story, "It's just that today I'm going to meet Josias. We will have our first date

Building My Life Chapter 196 It Was Bad to Be a Matchmaker
It was not a romantic movie conducive to lovers, but the 007 of 1981 pleased Melissa and Josias as much as Pamela and Wallace. Like all lovers, they sat together and leaning on each other, shared the same bowl of popcorn, the boy snuggled up to the girl when an impressive scene was shown, and lots of kisses from the first couple. Pamela and Wallace still didn't dare.When the film ended, the second couple took off in a hurry not to meet the first again. They managed to board the van when they reached Main Square."Will more people go to Happiness Slum? This is the last time." The driver informs.Malevolently, Pamela shrugs and replies, "Go ahead, driver, no one else is coming."Thus, the driver enters the van and leaves. Soon after, Melissa and Josias appear in the square."Oh, what the hell! The van was still here!" Josias regrets."We can take the bus to Rainbow Garden and disembark at the entrance to the favela," Melissa suggests.

Fabrício is upset to learn that Pamela is going on with her life while he is spending his life in prison, maybe forever! What a bitch, how she got away with it?"Josias, don't think I want to redeem myself. Yes, I was crazy about dragging Melissa over to my house and making you know what. However, when I met Melissa through Pamela, she later informed me that Melissa was interested in me and it was worth it to insist."Josias is so amazed that he pushes his chair back. He then composes himself and questions the information, "Wait a minute, Fabrício! Melissa was never interested in even taking your calls. I remember that very well, she informed me."Fabrício narrows his eyes, barely fitting with rage. So that's right, Melissa never thought of Fabrício as a boyfriend! Pamela lied to him!

Josias takes her by the shoulders to calm her down.However, Melissa is more distressed, she frowns. "And by chance are you going to believe these people, Josias? More and more the idea comes to me that Pamela did know and purposely wanted me to suffer abject violence!"Josias gulps. This is the same opinion as Uélton."Well, let's not think about it for now." Josias admonishes her, "If we're going to believe what Fabrício said about the plan, so we have to believe it when he said that Pamela didn't know about his dark side. And so he stays behind bars and you ignore the two Misses Chaves.""I really ignore them, sometimes I think they moved out," Melissa speaks with contempt and looks distant.Josias smiles and takes a deep breath.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
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.

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. 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.

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.

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.

Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
