"But, of course, we do. That needs to be clarified. At three o'clock we will show up at that office."
"It will be a pleasure, young Barbosa. We are waiting." Josias says goodbye and hangs up.
Melissa appears with a plastic tray with two cups of tea. "Did I hear 'young Barbosa'? Will he be the son of...?"
"Yes, he was the son of our favorite client." Josias approaches her with this joke.
"Coffee is served." Melissa announces, "And now I'm going to take my post."
Josias and Tiago each take a cup.
"Worried?" Tiago asks as he blows.
"After Mr. Barbosa's reaction yesterday, I am more relaxed." Josias smiles confidently.

At three in the afternoon, Adrian and Moacyr Barbosa arrived as arranged. Melissa opens the gate for them and leads them upstairs.Adrian was noticing the office from top to bottom, with a look of contempt, mainly with the location, with the building being poorly maintained, and with a graffiti facade."Sit down here, I'll bring you coffee." She goes to the kitchen."At least the cute classic secretary they have," Adrian whispers to Moacyr.Josias, Romualdo and Tiago leave Romualdo's office and go to Josias's desk."Are we going to talk in the meeting room?" Adrian asks mockingly."We are going to talk right here." Romualdo firmly takes the floor, "As you can see, the company is starting and we have fixed this temporary location. When the company grows even further, we will find another location."Adrian snorts, "Are you starting yet, and do you already have the nerve of paying damages?""One moment, young man," Tiago interrupt

Teodoro is in his office, watching the video "Vacations" by The Go-Go's on his small television. The landlord is smiling when he sees beautiful and talented young women, the music is sticky and the video clip is funny.Wallace appears at the door and gives a light knock. "Good night, sir.""No immorality is allowed inside, you saw the poster outside," Teodoro informs him as soon as he sees him.Wallace frowns. "What do you mean by that?""I mean that knowing my tenant, I can only deduce that you came to visit her to do what you should only do after the wedding." Teodoro also frowns, "Weren't you from the Church?""I am practically expelled for defending the woman I love," Wallace responds promptly."It remains to be seen if she loves you back." Teodoro counters in a cruel way."Can you tell me what her room is?" Wallace asks angrily."No, I can't. I already said that I won't allow obscenities in my building, so scram!"O

Wallace appears at home frowning to the extreme, too outraged to say 'good evening' to the family. However, they want to know what their son's day was like."Good evening, son." Isabel greets him, "What face is that, did something happen?""How about you tell me, mom?" Wallace replies fiercely.Harold immediately gets up. "Oops, lower the tone, my son! You are talking to your mother, and not to the vagabonds around the corner!"The mood immediately becomes tense. Uélton leaves the room to witness the discussion and help where he can."Brother, what's going on?""I came to talk to you about the 'harlot', who was cursed by you this morning," Wallace responds coldly, shooting his brother with his gaze.Uélton and Isabel face each other while Harold asks, "What is going on here, who we are talking about?""We are talking about my girlfriend!"

The Freire family was shocked by Wallace's announcement that he was looking to move to Pamela's apartment. What does he mean?"Wallace, you can't be serious!" Harold finally yells, "How can that be possible? You are taking on a problem that is not yours!""What do I do, father, if whoever should take the child, does not?" Wallace is about to cry. He moves away from the rest. "What do you want me to do? She has no one...""She has no one because she wants to!" Isabel screams."You are very cruel. That's why she is like that, aloof and aggressive. Pamela does not attack, she defends herself; you are the ones who provoke her!""Nothing like that, brother, she is the one who starts the confusion. It has been like this since I met her; since she started chasing Josias!" Uélton screamed, too, desperately. This is not happening!Wallace shakes his head stubbornly. "There is no way. Excuse me; I'm going to pack my things."Harold stops

Contrary to what Uélton thinks, Wallace did not have a whole night of shamelessness with Pamela. She slept on the bed and he slept on the cold floor, wearing only a few blankets. And Pamela still felt entitled to be upset when she saw that Wallace was going to sleep dressed."I thought you slept naked," she says, smiling slyly."I don't have that habit; and even if I had, how am I going to sleep without clothes on this cold floor? Do you want me to get pneumonia?" Wallace scolds her.Upset, Pamela doesn't even say 'good night' and lies down to sleep.So, the next day, they wake up and go to the bathroom. While Wallace is in the shower, with the shower curtain closed, Pamela brushes her teeth and decides to ask about Josias."Honey, do you know what Josias has been doing in Seu Romualdo's new company? It seems that he is no longer a bricklayer assistant.""He is no more." Wallace's voice is heard from inside the box, "Uélton sai

"Then that's it?" Josias asks, "Are you really going to be with Pamela, even after everything that happened, even if it cost your family's happiness?""What else can I do?" Wallace revolts and looks at him harshly, "You guys don't want to understand me. You don't want to understand Pam. She needs someone, and I want to help her.""The question is if she deserves to be helped." Uélton disdains, with a twisted nose, "Let's see if she will remain grateful.""Please, go away!" Pamela now speaks pleadingly, "You came too early; we just woke up. We don't want to ruin our Saturday with you here."Josias and Uélton look at each other and decide to leave. After closing the door, Pamela collapses on the bed."Phew, I thought they would never leave! What a bunch of inconveniences!""I'm going to the bakery to get some bread, dear. Wait for me." Wallace says this and approaches his girlfriend. The two exchange a kiss lightly and he leaves.

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.

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. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag.

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
