"Melissa, how powerful you are!" Elisa praises her in awe.
The two are again at the most expensive women's clothing store in Lagoon City. Melissa admires herself in the full-length mirror. The gray blazer with shoulder pads made the girl command respect.
"Yes, nobody is going to treat me anyway because I'm a secretary," Melissa speaks of herself with pride.
"Then we will pack it up and pay with my credit card." Elisa gets up from the bench she was on and gestures for Melissa to return to the fitting room.
Moments later, the two are at the cash register, with the attendant registering the purchase and swiping the credit card. Melissa wonders when she will pay for her own purchases.
Already on the street, walking towards Silva Constructions with bags in hand, she decides to voice her thoughts: "I hope the day comes when I no longer need to

Simeon is content with the answer, "May everything goes well."Now Simeon is sure to have noticed a reaction from Jeremiah that does not match what he says: a mischievous smile."I also hope it works out!" Jeremiah runs off.Simeon narrows his eyes and wonders for a few seconds, but then shrugs and goes back to work in one of the cars.Meanwhile, Jeremias is at Pamela's apartment, she is holding out a cup of coffee to him.

Melissa is also bothered by Adrian inappropriately mentioning Josias's father. "What are you saying, Mr. Barbosa? Didn't you know that Josias's father passed away?""You can cut off the 'mister' and call me Adrian." He smiles suggestively, "And yes, I know, my father told me who the illustrious citizen was. In vain he did not die.""Listen here, you indigestible!" Josias strides up to Adrian, "Shut up when you talk about my father! He's not here to defend himself.""Would he be, by any chance, willingly? Men like him would be hiding in a hole. Why did he need the henchmen to go after him?" Adrian turns to Josias and throws this question at close range.The door to Romualdo's office opens and he leaves. Frowning, he asks, "What's going on here?"Melissa stands up as the efficient secretary she is. "Mr. Silva, don't worry.

It was Teodoro, indeed. When Wallace opens the door, he immediately asks, "What happened? Did you find out that Pamela is cheating on you and are beating her up?"Wallace frowns and responds with outrage: "Of course not! Even if it were true, I would never raise a finger against a woman. There was a domestic accident here.""Who told this girl to be so clumsy?" Teodoro speaks with a shrug."Do you want to keep an eye on her while I go to the pharmacy to buy a burn ointment?" Wallace asks in the same sarcastic tone."Negative. Let me buy, your lady will not allow me to stay in the same space as her. Excuse me." And Teodoro turns on his heel and leaves.Wallace shakes his head.

William and Simeon enter the son's room and the father closes the door. Still standing, William begins to defend himself: "Yes, I told my dear sister what you were thinking about Josias's betrayal.""Now listen here, boy!" Simeon was frowning and furious at William, "You had no right to put any more gas on the fire! I already explained the case to Josias; you certainly increased the situation to make Melissa upset. You took advantage of it because you hate Josias from the first day.""This has nothing to do, Dad!" William reacts stunned, "Regardless of whether I like Josias or not, he has no right to betray Melissa! What kind of boyfriend is that?"Simeon scratches his head. "I already told you that Josias didn't want to betray, it just happened! It was a slip that we have to forgive. After all, you were also another one that didn't resist the slut's harassment, right?"Feeling that he was touched in the wound, William defends himself by sitting on the be

Teodoro is also tuned in to the radio and updating the news wall when a government official appears in the lobby."Excuse me, is this Teodoro's boardinghouse?""Teodoro Reis, at your service." Teodoro responds with a smile."I am a city inspector. We have received an anonymous report that this place is irregular. Can we verify if the documentation for this place is in order?"Teodoro breaks his smile and opens his eyes wide. What does it mean? Virtually no Happiness Slum house is properly legalized since the neighborhood was not planned by the City. Why did the City Hall go to collect documentation just from him?"Tax Mister, I think there is a misunderstanding." He tries to justify himself."The mistake was for the City to allow this totally irregular favela." The inspector replies frowning and intimidating, "The correct thing would be for the City to expel all of you from here; because the land was an old farm that was sold to the City. Th

"Calm down, young man," Simeon chuckles when he sees Jeremiah choking on his sip of water, "it's not for that much. I think you understand me.""It's just that these things are not heard every day." Jeremiah still doesn't say that he knows Josias and the whole story."Yes, and I am even more relieved to know that Josias has moved away from the shameless girl and is living in Green Park. So there will be no more mistakes." Simeon finishes drinking the water and discards the disposable cup in the trash.Jeremiah smiles mischievously. He concludes that Simeon just wants Melissa to marry Josias to enjoy the money Josias is earning. So he is very willing to forgive his son-in-law's 'mistakes'.***Moacyr is in the living room with his arms crossed and a frown waiting for Adrian to enter the house.

Pamela is in no way able to get Josias to be at peace with her. Because of the slander, he had to leave the boardinghouse and the favela as if he were a molester."Josias, everything would be easier if you assumed what is yours." She still tries to bring up the subject, approaching him and speaking softly.With each step that Pamela approaches, Josias moves away. "You are crazy, girl, you need treatment!""I need a man who loves me, just as I love you. Leave Melissa and marry me, Josias, let's raise our son together!"At this moment Wallace was about to leave, but he is faced with the voices and decides to listen from this point.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
