Raymond and Brigitte don’t know how to explain to the others that they’re going to Victoria to talk to Pamela.Caroline, Rosemary, and Teresa are standing on the couch, waiting for an explanation.Raymond finishes chewing and swallowing the piece of the pie. “It’s delicious, Tess.”“The explanation will be delicious.” Teresa states, “The more you look scared, the more I feel like the story is good.”“Mrs. Reis, I’m sorry. It’s better to make things clear.” Brigitte apologizes.Rosemary begins to put the pieces together. “Brigitte, are you going to Victoria?”“Yes, Rose. I need to meet your mother to know for myself whether or not she deserves to come to our wedding.” Brigitte responds respectfully.“And you two agreed on this without talking to us.” Caroline crosses her arms.“Brigitte, believe what they say.” Teresa asks, “I haven’t lived with Pamela, but I know categorically that she doesn’t deserve your attention. I’ve never been curious to see for myself what she’s like.”“I think
At Crystal Blue, Daniela and Felipe had the scare of their lives.Reuben was standing in front of them.“What’s wrong, guys? Am I so handsome that I scare you?”“No one gets scared because of beauty, you creep!” Felipe gets up abruptly, “Get out of my restaurant NOW!”“Never. I need to straighten things out with you.” Reuben smiles slightly.Daniela already had her phone in hand, “I’m calling the police now...”Reuben, with the agility worthy of a Hollywood actor, snatches Daniela’s phone before she can dial Dylan.“HEY! Give me back my phone, you thief!”“I want to talk to you about the reason why you’re so scared. Where are the security cameras in here?” Reuben narrowed his eyes, “Felipe, do you prefer to have a WOMAN working with you here? And then I’m the retarded one, huh?”Felipe shakes his head. “You’re the one accusing yourself, not me. Besides, how could I have the courage to put a woman in danger?”“I’m working in here because the danger has passed.” Daniela asserts.“Passed
Josias and Melissa meet at the Rocha Constructions headquarters. The couple enters the boss’s office.“Do you want a drink, honey?” Josias points to the drinks table.“I’m still afraid of that table.” Melissa confesses, “Every time we meet here, you always point to that bottle.”“I just wanted to know if you wanted to relax a bit.” Josias kisses her cheek and goes to prepare a drink for them, “After all, you’ve been out and about all day.”“Of course, I needed to spread the news.” Melissa smiles, approaching him.“Nowadays we have something called cell phone, dear.” Josias jokes as he prepares two glasses of brandy.“Oh, but it’s much better when I see people’s surprised reactions.” Melissa takes her drink.Josias, however, starts putting the pieces together. “Um... What news have you been telling everyone about?”“What other news would there be, Josias?”“Our vacation to Cancun?”“No!” Melissa sips her drink, “The ceremony hall, for sure!”Josias does ‘PFFF’ and coughs violently.“Co
At Rocha Constructions, Josias keeps Alan in suspense about who will run the Rocha Hotel.“Son, why can’t you be happy that you’ll run the headquarters while I take a vacation?”“Don’t get me wrong, Dad.” Alan sits on the couch, “I want you and Mom to have a great time. You could go to Paris to visit Grandpa Vernon and Grandma Elza. But, I worry about the future of the hotel. Rocha Hotel is part of our legacy.”“Exactly.” Josias nods slightly.“So, you intend to leave someone who has no experience or age to run the most luxurious hotel in Lagoon City?” Alan raises one eyebrow.“Who are you talking about? David?” Josias chuckles, laughing nonstop.Alan is not offended, but relieved. “Oh, Dad, what a joke! You got me.”Josias stops laughing and takes a deep breath, “Sigh... I wasn’t joking. I never intended to leave David in charge. It was you who jumped to that hasty conclusion.”Alan gets up and goes to the drinks table. “After that, I need a drink to relax.”“Okay, help yourself. But
Josias and Melissa traveled to Cancun.With that, the command of Rocha Constructions was entirely in Alan’s hands.Caroline was restless in the mansion. She should have talked to Josias about Felipe and Daniela’s suspicions, but she was so furious that she decided not to worry her parents.David, the observant brother, tried to approach her.“Sis, I see you’re worried. What’s the problem?”“Don’t worry about me, David.” Caroline smiles and heads to the pool area, “Do you know who will be the general manager of the Rocha Hotel?”“I still don’t know. And I don’t even know if I should go to work today.” David grumbles, “Lauro Medeiros must be gloating, thinking he’s the one appointed.”“Alan was very calm yesterday. Which means it won’t be Mr. Medeiros.” Caroline chuckles.As they approached the pool, David also smiled. “Good for him. But it’s good to see you smile again, Carol.”Caroline sits on a lounger. “Why do you like me so much, David? You should hate me.”David sits next to his s
At the Rocha Hotel, Benjamin and the others were bothered by Lauro’s high confidence in being the new manager without anyone announcing it.“Argh, is it really you?” Sybil hands him the paper, “Take this to your superior!”Lauro takes the sheet with a complicated expression. “And what is this?”“My resignation letter! I won’t stay a second longer here under your tyrannical orders!”“You...” Lauro foams with wrath and tears apart Sybil’s resignation letter.Everyone is stunned and outraged to see this clear demonstration of emotional outburst from the supposed manager.Benjamin smiles on the side, thinking that Alan will love to hear about this...“No one is resigning from here!” Lauro roared incredulously, “What will Mr. Rocha think of me if all of you express dissatisfaction? That I am someone difficult to work with?”Everyone is horrified by Lauro’s logic reversal. Did he fall and hit his head?“This is absurd! If we complain about your behavior, it is logical that you aren’t reason
Kelvin and Maggie are talking in Kelvin’s office at Cardozo Perfumes.Maggie notices that her brother is not present in mind, “KELVIN! Houston calling Kelvin!”“Huh? What’s up, sis?” Kelvin snaps out of his daydreams.“You seem worried about something that I don’t know about.” Maggie leans back in her chair.“Sorry, Maggie. Something strange happened today.” Kelvin explains, “Reuben showed up at the entrance of the building where I live to tell Felipe that Pat Nogueira could be a good suspect as the shooter.”Maggie considers the suggestion, nodding, “It’s a possibility. I don’t know why, but those two never got along.”“But Felipe refuses to admit this possibility, saying it’s too obvious.” Kelvin finishes with a frown, “I don’t know if he’s being wise in dismissing it.”“The police should decide that.” Maggie raises an eyebrow, “But he’s not going to tell the police, is he?”“He went straight to the restaurant, grumbling and insulting Reuben.” Kelvin shakes his head.“Now he has a g
In the office of Cardoso Perfumes, Maggie tried her best not to disrespectfully laugh at Angela’s face, even though she deserved it.Angela, however, reacted as if she had been laughed at. “Don’t give me that look, Mrs. Marçal. One day, ONE DAY, I’ll get revenge on all of you!”“Huh... What have I done to deserve your wrath?” Maggie asked mockingly.“Why does your brother feel entitled to treat me like this when we barely know each other?” Angela whinnied.“Maybe, as he said, it’s because you caused the divorce of our friends,” Maggie replied nonchalantly.“That has nothing to do with you. Therefore, I demand respect!” Angela yelled.“Respect is not demanded, it’s earned.” Maggie shrugged, “And if you’ll excuse me, I have a magazine to manage. I came to talk to my brother, not you.”“Oh, now you’re leaving because it suits you. I don’t have fleas.” Angela mocked.Maggie walked past Angela. “You also didn’t come to talk to me, therefore, leave as well.”“I want to know who I complain t
