Building My Life Chapter 2692 Dealing with a Hysterical Girl
In Melissa’s office, she closed the door to talk alone with her daughter, having that suspicion...She even turned off the MP4 player. “Daughter, let’s talk.”“Mom, I actually wanted to talk to you about the wedding preparations.”“I know.” Melissa nodded, “But you heard the conversation, or part of the conversation, between me and Kelvin. Right?”Caroline swallows hard. “Yes, Mom. I won’t lie to you.”“Excellent.” Melissa sits at her desk. “Let’s discuss it then.”“Mom, some crazy woman slapped Helen in the middle of the square because she thought you were cheating on my Dad with Kelvin and Helen defended you. At the very least, you owe Helen an apology.”Melissa’s eyes widened. “Why do you think I have any blame for this? I visited Kelvin to talk about Felipe harassing you and wanting you as his girlfriend!”Caroline has a hard expression. “Why did you have to get involved?”“Because you are my daughter!” Melissa was shocked. “Honey, I don’t understand what you’re getting at.”Carol
Building My Life Chapter 2693 The Side Effects of Gossip
The next day, Kelvin showed up at the Adelaide office with deep circles and bloodshot eyes. His hair wasn’t carefully combed and gelled, and his beard was unshaven.“Nephew?” Adelaide was startled. “What happened? You better go back and get a few more hours of sleep.”“Karen showed up?” Kelvin asked as if he hadn’t listened to his aunt’s advice.“No, not yet.” Adelaide sighed. “But my fingers are itching to type ‘fired’ on my computer. I think I can now start the process of dismissing her, categorizing it as ‘job abandonment’.”“She’s coming today.” Kelvin suddenly responded. “Please, Aunt: Don’t fire Karen.”Adelaide’s eyes widened. “Nephew, in addition to physical rest, you need mental rest!”“Auntie, I’m serious.” Kelvin nodded. “Don’t fire Karen. We talked yesterday, and she swore to me that she would behave. She’s even willing to work under the sun, selling perfumes.”Adelaide was startled once again. This was news to her. “Tomorrow we’ll open the store. Does she prefer to sell e
Building My Life Chapter 2694 Change in Job Placements
At Cardozo Perfumes, Adelaide allowed access to Karen Britton, better known as ‘the hysterical girl’.Adelaide was about to talk to Karen, but she was surprised by the employee’s arrogant attitude.Then, she remembered the signs in Kelvin, expressing some nervousness. Could it be that the conversation they had yesterday wasn’t friendly?“Karen, sit down. We need to talk honestly.” Adelaide gestured to the visitor’s seat.Karen obeyed her. “Thank you, Mrs. Cardozo. I knew you would be reasonable.”Adelaide couldn’t take it anymore. “Wait a minute, creature! YOU were the one who avoided my calls and disappeared after the incident. I was about to fire you for abandoning work. What took you so long?”“I came here yesterday,” Karen responded mockingly.“But you didn’t look for me. You looked for my nephew.” Adelaide retorted, “Kelvin is a supervisor, he isn’t directly responsible for hiring.”“I know, Mrs. Cardozo. But I needed to test the waters to see if it was safe to swim again.” Karen

Kelvin is fidgeting at his desk, typing something on the computer. He realized he started typing randomly, distracting himself with his anxiety.“Oh, damn, I got the document wrong!” He punches the desk.The door opened at this moment and Karen stuck her head in. “I hope this isn’t nerves about me being here.”“How did it go?” Kelvin asked bluntly.Karen entered and closed the door. “Everything went well, darling! Your aunt kept me as an employee! The only catch is that I’ll replace Helen at the stand, but I’m still employed and your secret is safe with me!”“At least, one piece of good news in all of this.” Kelvin smiles evilly.Karen approached him with slow steps. “Now, Kelvin, don’t feel upset about letting your feelings slip.”“You were the last person in the world to listen to me,” Kelvin growled.“But you have to admit that we made a good deal: you convinced Aunt Addie not to fire me, and I won’t tell Josias Rocha that you always wanted to win Melissa Rocha back.”“Hey, that’s

Melissa despairs when she sees her daughter distressed and is helped by Francisco. “Daughter! Caroline, what happened?”“Mom, don’t worry...” Caroline chooses a table and sits down.“How am I not going to worry...” Melissa sits down next to her, “You’re pale.”Neilton runs to the kitchen. “I’ll bring a cup of sugarcane juice!”“Here’s a shrimp pie.” Rodrigo serves the snack to Caroline.Seconds later, Caroline was eating and drinking, regaining her strength. The others continued around her, waiting for explanations.Francisco decided to be the spokesperson, “Ahem... Guys, the explanation is simple. Carol tried to reason with Felipe about the situation she found herself in, but Felipe insisted on declaring his feelings to her.”Melissa shook her head. “Did you go alone, daughter? You shouldn’t take any chances.”“How would I know, Mom? Felipe is my friend. Now I don’t know if such friendship should continue...”“I don’t think it’s safe!” Neilton exclaims. “When Reuben finds out about t

The opening day of the Cardozo’s store has arrived.Buyers showed up in droves to celebrate the opening of yet another commercial establishment. The store aims to sell not only Cardozo brand perfumes but also various women’s and men’s beauty items.But of course, the perfumes would be the main attraction.For example, a banner showing Rosemary was stretched from ceiling to floor to promote the perfume ‘Linda Moça’.Beto and his family were pleasantly surprised by the honor. Rosemary immediately found herself surrounded by fans asking for autographs.The song “Lovelight”, by Robbie Williams, gave an elegant vibe in keeping with the atmosphere Adelaide expected, a worthy setting for an inauguration. The music appealed to all tastes and ages.Pedro went to the men’s perfume shelf. “This one is what Alan advertised. A little expensive, don’t you think?”Reuben giggled. “I’m sure Mrs. Cardozo will give you a good discount, being the brother of her most famous model.”Helen loved being part

Josias was now drying off after cooling off in the pool. Hector approached him.“Good morning, Mr. Rocha. Mr. Motta wishes to speak to you.”“Octavio? Has he come in yet?” Josias smiles. “Let him come here, please, Hector. Oh, and as for the slide...”Hector gulped. “I’m sorry for it, Mr. Rocha. But Mr. Campos would be stuck all night if I didn’t take drastic measures.”Josias chuckles, “OK, it’s done. I understand. We weren’t going to let poor Will suffocate in there, right?”Hector calmed down and left to call Octavio.Octavio appeared next, in a mix of happiness and fear.“Good morning, Josias! I have good news and bad news.”“Oh, are you going to be able to ruin my Saturday?” Josias jokes.Octavio tenses, unsure whether or not he should say what he came to say.Josias laughs, “Come on, my friend, s

At the Cardozo’s store, Adelaide had no desire to discuss the lawsuit that Helen wanted to file against Karen.“Helen, it looks like Brigitte hasn’t told you yet. I thought better of the matter, and—”“Take it easy, Mrs. Cardoso.” Helen smiles and tries to explain herself. “I understand what you’re getting at. Yes, Brigitte told me hours ago that she prefers to hold or suspend the lawsuit for now.”Adelaide was relieved. “Phew, good. Helen, it’s not that we don’t want the bad guys to go unpunished. But let’s be honest: couldn’t we somehow defeat Karen? Who is selling in the scorching heat and who is selling in the air conditioning?”Helen smiles evilly. “The idiot had everything to work inside here, and I never cared about selling outdoors.”“So, Helen, consider this your prize.” Adelaide asserts. “We’re opening our st

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
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? Behaving?”“Cont

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.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
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

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
