Cláudio was wearing a gray suit and matching tie, waiting at one of the tables for the partner of the night that will never come.
He rushed to make the reservation as soon as he had ‘confirmation’ from Nadia. Daryl chose the best available table and even discounted the price of the grilled salmon.
Now he was at the reception desk acting as maître d’. But to his surprise, Claudio’s lady still hasn’t shown up...
Jacques and Ingrid walk in, talking excitedly.
“Good evening, Mr. Mountain!” Jacques greets him, “Please arrange a table for two.”
“We know you have free tables,” Ingrid says.

In Rodrigo’s apartment, he and Nadia are having the time of their lives, having a romantic dinner.Rodrigo wasn’t 100% sure that Nadia would accept the invitation, so he had to speed up certain preparations. For example, the song he picked up on the radio, “If Tomorrow Never Comes” by Ronan Keating, while beautiful, was not necessarily a message of love.

He held out one hand, handing her a red rose with no thorns.“Awn, thanks.”“Welcome.” Rodrigo smiles at her and invites her inside.Now, dinner was winding down and the couple got to know each other better.“I would love to meet your sister.” Nadia says
Building My Life Chapter 2279 My Father Rules the City!
The next day, Josias is having breakfast with Alan.“Dad, I was elected the valedictorian of my high school graduation. Would I be able to deliver a good speech? I’m gonna ask Hector to write something nice for me.”Josias chokes on the latte he was drinking, “Cough, cough! What is it, son? No, don’t order any of that! Sit down at my desk and put your gray matter to work!”Alan is fearful, “I wouldn’t know how to tell my colleagues. Obviously, Principal Fernandez expects me to give a speech like the President of the Republic because I’m your son.”Josias smiles and strokes his head, “First you write, and then you pass the outline to me. I’ll help you with the details, but the central idea has to come from your head. Say what you hope for the future and motivate your colleagues to succeed in life.”“Would it be the same thing?” Alan wonders, “I’ll g

You just confirmed that you do have a secret.”Daryl breaks into a sweat, “OK, what do you know about me?”Josias leans forward, “I know why you had to adopt Felipe.”Daryl starts to get puzzled, “Josias, have you been researching my heir?”“No, that’s not it.” Josias nods, “I managed to get in touch with Dr. Antenor, a former lab colleague of Dr. Silvana.”“OK!” Daryl gestures, “I got it!

Josias gave permission and encouragement for Daryl to fire the pistol at him.“Come on, Daryl! You couldn’t get anyone to side with you in the war, that’s why you smartly came to ask for forgiveness. It wasn’t because you repented of your sins. You still think Melissa deserves to be with Kelvin. You still think you did the right thing by shoving Gabriela into my life. You still think Octavio is the enemy when the truth is the opposite. You just came thinking about getting rid of the blame. For that, I don’t forgive you and we’ll continue to be enemies. Satisfied? So, FIRE!”Daryl remains standing still, aiming, aiming......Until he decided to put the gun back in his pocket.“I better withdraw. We got nothing. But at least I tried.” Daryl gets up.Josias is disgusted, “What have you tried? Daryl, if you have nothing else to say, GET OUT OF HERE!”“Not before telling you

The radio plays “Stay Together to the Kids” by Blink 182.“Good thing the War was canceled.” Reuben rejoices, “See? Whoever said Uncle Josias was a bad guy didn’t know what he was saying.”“I also thank God for that.” Rodrigo smiles, “Still, all that talk made it easier for me to have my kitten.”“Wow, congrats, Rod!” Alan congratulates him, “Do we know who the lucky one is?”“Yes, Miss Lafayette.” Rodrigo advertises as a herald.As soon as he finishes pronouncing the last name, Cláudio enters the cafeteria.“But... are you already bragging about depraving my girl?”Alan and Reuben are startled by the outburst.Rodrigo gestures for the young people to move to the back of the counter, “Cláudio, what do you want now?
