Building My Life Chapter 2356 Benjamin Must Choose
At Rocha Constructions, Pollyanna opens the door to Josias’s office.“Mr. Rocha? Young Benjamin Teixeira is here, but he doesn’t have an appointment.”“And does he need an appointment, Pollyanna? Let him in.” Josias smiles.Pollyanna smiles and lets Benjamin in. He changed into jeans and a plain T-shirt.“Hello, Josias. Thanks for answering me. I need to consult you on a matter.”“Good to see you, Ben. How are your parents? Resting? I think Vania is going to retire or has she already done that...?”“She’s almost. Let’s not go into details, otherwise, she thinks she’s getting old.” Benjamin jokes and they both laugh.“OK. Help yourself, I know you’re old enough now.” Josias points to the drinks table.Benjamin pours himself a shot of brandy, “Very good... Josias, I need to ask you something.”Josias sits on the sofa, “You don’t need to ask me for permission. You’re always welcome in my hotel kitchen. Jane and my mother talked about it.”Benjamin is a little embarrassed, “Actually, I wa

At Lafayette Mansion, the family is gathered for breakfast. Except for Nadia.Jacques is bothered by her daughter’s absence, “Does anyone know what happened to Nadia? She moved and no one had the decency to tell me?”Ingrid smiles dreamily, “She must have spent another night of lovemaking with her boyfriend.”Jacques was drinking coffee with milk, but he chokes and goes ‘PFFF’, “Cough, cough! Ingrid, this is not funny!”Ingrid widens her eyes, “And I said that to be funny? Man, our daughter is not a little girl anymore!”Thierry objects, “So because she’s no longer a little girl, does she have to treat herself like a harlot?”Ingrid frets over her husband and son, “Ugh, it’s not like that at all... I just hope you two don’t have a heart attack when you get the wedding invitation.”Jacques frowns and chooses the most buttered toast, “Why should I receive a wedding invitation if her boyfriend is already living as a married man and enjoying a married life without the proper formalities?”

The four workers who were talking got surprised by who was talking to João Paulo and broke up the group, hurriedly moving away into the company.João Paulo complains to the person who spoke to him, “Argh, you disturbed me. Now you are the one who will give me the answers I need.”Sofia crosses her arms, “Answers? What kind of answers? You seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation of my father’s workers.”João Paulo smiles playfully and extends his hand, “Pleased to meet you, João Paulo Queiroz Rocha.”“Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” Sofia shakes his hand reluctantly.“In my work, I reverse last names.” João Paulo explains, “My brother’s last name carries more weight than my father’s, unfortunately.”“Jeez, how inconsiderate of your father!” Sofia exclaims in horror.“My dad is OK with that.” João Paulo blinks, “Miss Vasquez, could we talk about—”“Wait a moment: who said I’m here to give you an interview?” Sofia exclaims outraged, “My father has given me orders not to spe

At the Vaztrans headquarters, Erasmo asks Olivia if she wants to donate money for Josias’s fashion event. Olivia feels lost.“Darling, reason with me.” Olivia starts.“That is the problem,” Erasmo grumbles.“I just want to show up to Melissa Rocha’s meeting to hear what she has to say. Suddenly, we can decide positively.” Olivia stands up, “And then there’s the issue of models.”“What about the girls?” Erasmo asks, still frowning, but mildly interested.Olive sighs. She wasn’t referring to the girls...Sofia walks into the office, “Hello, Mom and Dad. You won’t believe what happened.”“So it’s better not to speak.” Erasmo rolls his eyes.“Don’t be boring, man!” Olivia smiles at Sofia, “Yes, daughter, tell us what happened.”“That journalist João Paulo Rocha Queiroz was at the company’s door, spying on the workers’ conversation. I scared him out of here.” Sofia smiles in pride.Erasmo suddenly smiles and opens his arms, “Congratulations, my daughter! A hug!”Father and daughter embrace

At Crystal Blue, Patrick gradually got closer to the scene between Benjamin and Diane, and he revolts when he hears the worst.“Mrs. Mountain... Diane...” Benjamin clears his throat unnecessarily, “I’m terribly sorry. I wanted to work here, but I was also called by Rocha Hotel... And I think it would be more interesting for my career to work there. No offense.”Diane’s smile fades, “Oh, Ben... if that’s what you think, then I can only wish you good luck and happiness. But Crystal Blue is always open.”“Interesting for your career?” Patrick whinnies, now standing behind Benjamin.Benjamin slowly turns to Patrick. Yes, apparently, he was smaller in proportion to Patrick, but he wasn’t intimidated.“Are you talking to me, buddy? Or should I say: neighbor?”“It’s funny that we still haven’t come across the corridors of the Teodoro Building.” Patrick mocks him, “You look like you live in some exclusive apartment.”“No, I’m people like us.” Patrick turns to Diane, “Are we clear, Diane?”Dia

The next day, Sofia is in her custom-decorated room, with various shades of pink on the walls and curtains. She is in a red nightgown, sitting on the bed, smiling when she finds the number of Rocha Mansion in the phone book.As she dials, she waits anxiously, her heart pounding...“Rocha Mansion, good morning?”“Good morning, this is Sofia Vasquez.” She says by forcing her voice to sound like she’s been awake longer, “Can I talk to Alan Rocha?”“Wait a moment.” It was Hector.Sofia waits as long as necessary. Maybe she called too early, maybe Alan was sleeping. What if he was sleeping? Would he be mad at her?Alan’s voice came through the other end of the call, “Hello, Sofia! That was a surprise.”“Good morning, Alan. Did I wake you up too early?” Sofia worries.“No, I’m already awake,” Alan answers.On the other side, Alan was only in his pajama bottoms, “I took a while because I went to see my friend Reuben.”“Is there a problem with him?” Sofia narrows her eyes.“He got stuck again

Pollyanna appears in the doorway of Josias’s office, pale and wide-eyed, “Mr. Rocha, I can call the police right away!” Daryl scoffs at the secretary, “Call Sergeant Ivan Moraes! He will be here in two seconds!” “Shut up!” Josias roars like a lion, “I won’t allow you to mock my employees, you madman! What do you want, what happened this time?” “Oh, let’s play amnesia!” Daryl claps his hands ironically. Josias gestures for Pollyanna to leave. She struggles for a few seconds, wanting to stay, but decides to obey her boss and leaves. After the door is closed, Josias sits in the presidential chair, “OK, let’s get down to business. Why did you come to my workplace kicking down the door like a savage?” “You won’t admit that yesterday you manipulated the game once again, snatching Benjamin Teixeira away from me?” Daryl leans over his desk, his face fierce. Josias understands the reason for the conversation and smiles sarcastically, “Well, is this all because Ben didn’t want to work wit
Building My Life Chapter 2363 I’ll Explain Why You Lost
Josias and Daryl continue their clash: Josias is always cool and calm as Daryl explodes and shakes with rage. “Why are you smiling like that?” Daryl asks through gritted teeth. “It’s because you didn’t realize where you went wrong.” Josias responds with mild disdain, “Allow me to enlighten you: you met with Ben and discussed the perks of working at Crystal Blue while you were trying to downsize my hotel, correct?” Daryl clears his throat unnecessarily, “I just told Benjamin that working at Crystal Blue would make it easier for him to be projected into the foodie market than just being an extra employee of yours at the hotel. Let’s face it, Josias: your restaurant doesn’t have the same references as mine.” “So, while I told Ben not to stress and left the decision in his hands, you did the opposite!” Josias bursts out laughing, “Why, Daryl, this is why he chose me! He felt more comfortable with me. And as for my restaurant...” Josias smiles defiantly, “Who knows, maybe the scenery d

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.

Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
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

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. 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

Chapter 3143 Return
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

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
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 Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. 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. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. 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
