Josias enters Rocha Constructions and is greeted by all the employees.

“Hello, Mr. Rocha! Congratulations!”

“We wish your beautiful daughter lots of happiness!”

“When is the engagement date?”

Josias is amazed. “Engagement? They’re still dating, folks.”

The employees laugh, thinking Josias is joking.

But Josias is genuinely surprised to hear everyone talking about Reuben and Caroline more effusively. Didn’t they already know the couple was an item?

As he passes Reuben’s desk, Josias nods, beckoning him to come in.

“Uncle Josias, I—”

“Any updates on you and Caroline?” Josias asks, heading straight to the drinks table. Maybe he needs a drink...

“I formalized our relationship in the most dramatic, traditional, and cheesy way there is. I felt like I was in Grandma Isabel’s soap opera.” Reuben jokes.

Josias pours himself some brandy. “Very good. Here’s to you and my little princess.”

Reuben doesn’t dare help himself. “Is everything okay, uncle?”

Josias takes a few sips, “Everyth

    At the Vasquez mansion, Alan waits for Sofia to answer his question.“Come on, Sofia! Tell me you’re trying to ruin my little sister’s date!” Alan exclaims impatiently.“It’s you saying it, my love!” Sofia replies scared.“Ah, but do you think that being silent is proof that you didn’t mention it? On the contrary, Sofia! Your silence was your confession.”“Mom, please help me!” Sofia pleads, finishing down the stairs.Olivia turns seriously to Alan. “Alan, you must have misunderstood. Sofia was supposed to be talking about an episode of ‘Love Spins the World’.”Alan shakes his head, “I don’t believe it! You guys really feel entitled to interfere in my sister’s dating life!

I look forward to hearing what you have to propose.”Josias sits on the other sofa. “How are things at Cardozo Perfumes?”“They’re fine.” Adelaide keeps her smile.“I was wondering if by chance...” Josias smiles like a lynx, “You would need support.

    At Rocha Constructions, Josias feels offended by Erasmo asking if he wants the marriage between Alan and Sofia as if the answer was negative.“Erasmo, I want this marriage. I believe that Alan and Sofia love each other and deserve happiness. If my daughter Carol can make the situation easier, that would be ideal for everyone. I’m fighting like hell to get the two of them to understand each other, but now you’re telling me that your daughter has decided to be problematic too. And you come to ask ME if I still want the wedding?”Erasmo swallows hard and tries not to lose his poise, “Then let’s arrange for the two of them to talk and make up. I don’t want my daughter to lose her boyfriend because of this.”“Alan has every right to be angry. And it’s now clear that my daughter had nothing to do with the photo.

    The next day, Erasmo received a call from Josias while he was still sleeping. The cell phone rang, disturbing the Vasquez couple who expected the alarm to ring an hour later.“Argh, darling, who dares to disturb our sleep?” Olivia complains, rubbing her eyes, “Just when we get tangled all night long...”Erasmo was so tired from the amorous and turbulent activity that he hadn’t even put on his pajamas. He answered, yawning at the same time, “Hellooooo...”On the other side, contrasting with the sleeping couple, Josias was already in the office of his mansion, dressed in his microfiber suit, with a stern expression, “Erasmo, good morning. Tell Sofia that I want her in my office at nine in the morning sharp.”“Couldn’t you call her directly?” Erasmo complains.“Would she answer my call?” Josias responds, “Please, pass on the message.”“OK...” Erasmo felt that Josias had already hung up, “Josias wants our daughter to show up at the office at 09:00 sharp.

And Neil didn’t spit in the cup.” Francisco responds seriously.“Oh, I can’t be happy about that.” Isabel snorts, “That girl is throwing away a golden opportunity.

Rodrigo, wearing sweatpants and a gray tank top, comes from the kitchen with two cups of coffee.The way the sweatpants and tank top were crooked made Melissa suspect that Rodrigo was missing those pieces and hurriedly put them on, “Did I wake you up, Rodrigo?”“It’s time to wake up.” Rodrigo responds mysteriously, “How can I help you, Melissa?”“Well, Rod, you know that Josias is going to get involved with Cardozo Perfumes, you know?” Melissa takes her cup.“I heard something about it.” Rodrigo sips his coffee.“Well, Josias and Mrs. Cardozo finally talked and he authorized me to put the action plan into practice. You are being invited to be our model for men’s perfumes, what do you think?”Rodrigo smiles gently, “I think that’s wonderful, Melissa. I just wanted a recommendation.”“Yes?” Melissa stays alert.“I had a little talk with my Dad.” Rodrigo explains to her, “And he brought to my attention the fact that I’ll be

    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.

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?

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

    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

    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

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
