“An investigation into Miguel Damascene.” Dylan responds urgently, “Brigitte passed the job interview. She’ll work at Damascene Lawyers!”“Oh, but this is very good!” Amoreira smiles like every proud father, “Send me my congratulations for her.”“Dad, this isn’t funny.” Dylan complains, “Have you forgotten who I want you to investigate? Or will I have to act like a police officer?”Amoreira gets out of the chair and sits next to his girlfriend, “What do you plan to do as a police officer?”“As a man who executes the Law, I can warn him that he will be condemned the very second I hear my dear sister complain about being molested,” Dylan responds threateningly.Amoreira, however, chuckles. “He, he... No, my son. Don’t warn the lion. He would be more interested and tempted to bang your sister precisely because you warned him. That’s how these perverted scoundrels act.”“The problem is that Brigitte introduced herself as Caio’s girlfriend.” Dylan is discouraged, “Do you think she did the
The day of the photoshoot for Cardozo Perfumes has arrived.The shoot was carried out inside the Quantium agency because Rodrigo was still their model. But the photography team was delighted to welcome other unusual models such as Rosemary and Alan.Thierry was excited about the sets being put together. As Rodrigo wanted something more formal, the photos would be taken in a business setting. Couriers carried a desk and swivel chair while Rodrigo wore a gray suit.Nadia watched her husband. He said, “Anyone who sees me like this thinks I’m working at Rocha Constructions.”“He, he...” Nadia approves of the look with her eyes, “You’ll do great, darling.”“You think? I used the perfume they have.” Rodrigo sniffs pleasantly, “It’s very good and striking.”“I’ll buy some after the campaign.” Nadia assures, “If it doesn’t harm our baby.&rdquo
At Crystal Blue, Caroline and Reuben see Felipe’s dilemma.“Poor Felipe.” Caroline laments, “He still can’t mix drinks with the same mastery as his mother.”“That proves he’s adopted.” Reuben scoffs, “He didn’t naturally inherit Diane Mountain’s talent.”“Reuben, that was uncalled.” Caroline rolls her eyes.“Let’s go. Suddenly I felt thirsty...” Reuben directs Caroline to the bar.Felipe trembles in his thighs as he sees the couple approaching. “Reuben, what are you doing here? Caroline is not of legal drinking age yet!”Reuben scowls, “And how do you know my girlfriend’s age?”Caroline shakes her head, “Reuben, please. The date of my birth is highlighted all over the Internet. It’s not something people don’t know about.”Felipe smiles ironically and continues preparin
At Café Montanha, Alan and Caroline notice Neilton’s mental confusion.“Oh, Neil...” Alan smiles in pity, “You don’t know the juicy details. Rosemary is the daughter of Roberto Reis’ first wife.”“Oh, yes.” Neilton is embarrassed, fearing he has made a mistake.“Don’t worry, you weren’t around.” Reuben comforts him, “In fact, it was a very complicated story. Caio knows how to answer.”Caroline adds, “Caio is the older brother. Rosemary’s mother had several children with different guys.”“How crazy.” Neilton whistles.“Yes, the late Shirley Mountain must have learned to be promiscuous from Pamela Chaves.” Alan comments, “When she became pregnant with Rosemary, she wanted everyone to believe that my father was her father too.”“OK, I get it. And your father was already rich at that time?” Neilton asks curiously.“No. He lived in the penthouse where Shirley fell from the balcony and my mother was pregnant with me. Rosemary and I were born in 1985 within months of each other. My father wa
Kelvin is shocked to see Felipe under the pool water.Without thinking twice, he runs, takes momentum, and dives into the pool to save his nephew, preventing him from committing the extreme act.However, upon emerging, Felipe reacts in surprise and even coughs up the pool water, “Cough, cough... Uncle Kelvin, what are you doing?”“You...” Kelvin narrows his gaze, “You were sinking into the pool...”“No!” Felipe starts laughing, “I was just diving!”Kelvin looks at Felipe suspiciously. Was he disguising it so his uncle wouldn’t think he wanted to kill himself?“Felipe, how was your day at work? Shouldn’t you be on night shift?”“I should.” Felipe gets out of the pool and sits on the edge, “But Reuben upset me with my making drinks skill and I stormed out.”Kelvin punches the water, “Damn! These people are crossing the line!”“Forget it, uncle.” Felipe shakes his head, “It’s not worth stressing over these people. I believe I’ll do everyone a great favor if I just resign.”“That’s what t
In the kitchen of Neilton’s apartment, Benjamin prepared an excellent breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, bread with margarine, and orange juice. The eggs had slices of bacon and a sprinkle of oregano.“Hmm...” Reuben is delighted, “We’ll never go hungry here again!”“That is the intention.” Benjamin laughs, “What do you think, Neil?”“Approved. But it’s good for us to get our hands dirty too, Reuben.” Neilton remembers, “It’s not often our cook buddy will be around.”“Yes, I have my appointments at the hotel restaurant.” Benjamin looks at his wristwatch, “But there’s still time.”“Speaking of restaurants, Felipe Mountain is going from bad to worse acting as a bartender.” Reuben says mockingly, “Why did Cláudio Guzman promote him?”“Probably so no one would complain that the restaurant was stolen from the Mountain family.” Benjamin responds by shaking his head, “I remember hearing that absurd talk.”“Stolen? Josias Rocha took that establishment as compensation. The previous owner
At Crystal Blue, Cláudio is talking to Josias in the new owner’s office. Josias notices the new decoration.“When you return the restaurant, Felipe will want to redecorate it to the old style in honor of his father.” Josias jokingly comments, “Do you want to bet?”“No, I don’t want.” Cláudio responds dryly, “In fact, I wanted to talk about the incapable kid.”Josias becomes serious and sits vis-a-vis. “What happened?”“Felipe definitely doesn’t have the skills to prepare drinks. Customers complain, Felipe drops glasses, the ingredients aren’t checked in advance... the other day, he discovered that there was no lemon just when he went to prepare the caipirinha.”“Oh, he promised to be excellent at managing the bar.” Josias is surprised, “What do you intend to do?”“Josias, I thought about handing over the restaurant to him.” Cláudio falsely insinuates, “But now, with this situation, how can I leave the most famous restaurant in Lagoon City in the hands of the kid? I need to stay here.”
At Café Montanha, Kelvin continues his pilgrimage visiting the establishment. He coincides with meeting Isabel and Francisco. The radio sets the coffee shop with “SOS”, by Rihanna.They ask Neilton, “So, Neil? What’s it like living in the apartment with your roommates?”“It’s been cool, guys.” Neilton smiles. “Ben has already debuted the kitchen with an excellent breakfast.”“Hmm...” Isabel licks her lips, “I would like to eat breakfast prepared by a chef. They say he’ll take care of the food and drinks for Alan and Sofia’s engagement party.”Francisco looks at Kelvin approaching. “Hello, nephew.”“Uncle Francisco, I need to talk to you and Isabel. Shall we?”Isabel and Francisco are wary of Kelvin’s serious expression.Neilton takes the notebook and pen. “I’ll take care of the customers.”So, the three adults head to the kitchen.Inside, they talk about Felipe and Reuben.“Nephew, what’s the matter?” Francisco begins.“Uncle, I have a dilemma on my hands. I don’t know whether to call
