Inside Angela's apartment, specifically in the kitchen, she and Kelvin sat down for breakfast, prepared by David.Kelvin, at Angela's insistence, wore gray sweatpants."I don't know why you're so embarrassed when you've seen much more in your room," Kelvin remarked slyly.Angela, impatient, replied, "It's for you to keep decorum and prevent David from always complaining.""Where is he?"Kelvin's question prompts Angela to take a deep breath before explaining, "He's gone. Said he was going to have brunch at Café Montanha."Kelvin exclaimed dumbfounded, "Did the guy have such an issue with my appearance that he decided to leave?"Angela clarified, "It's not quite like that, Kelvin. He doesn't approve of our relationship. You showing up half-naked in front of him, rubbing in his face the fact that we're lovers, doesn't help at all."Kelvin pondered, "So I should pretend we're nothing?"Angela rolled her eyes and set her coffee cup on the saucer."How did you manage to date Melissa?" she
At Crystal Blue, Pedro caught Felipe and Hamilton red-handed conspiring against his relationship with Daniela.Or so Pedro thought. Felipe wasn't so keen.That's why Felipe was the first to gesture, "Hey, man, I hope you don't think I'm—""I heard Mr. Lombardi clearly encouraging you to win over my girlfriend. Are you okay with that, Felipe?"Pedro slammed the door shut and approached the desk."Why are you only coming at me?" Felipe protested."Because if you're not up for such nonsense, I'll be at ease. You won't let Mr. Lombardi influence you no matter how hard he tries."Hamilton tried to explain, "Listen, Pete—""And what about you, Mr. Lombardi? Didn't we talk about this last year? You don't care about your daughter's wishes and plans. She fell in love with me, but you want her with Felipe. If she were in love with Felipe, would you want her with another guy?""That's not it, kid!" Hamilton frowned."OK, guys, that's enough!" Felipe ordered as the boss he was, "Hamilton, you bet
Kelvin is upset with Angela meddling in Josias' affairs. He's in his office at the Cardozo Perfumes branch.Seated at his desk, Kelvin can't focus on the paperwork and the monitor in front of him.He's scowling, leaning back in his chair, lost in thought...Angela was happy and content with him. Why did she have to call Josias and argue like that?And worst of all: why did she wait for him to leave to talk to his rival...?"Don't be ridiculous, Kelvin," He shakes his head and speaks to himself, "Josias isn't your rival. Melissa is his, and Angela is mine. The situation is as clear as crystal water."The door opened and Karen walked in, smirking mockingly."The secretary informed me. Let me guess: you and Angela are having trouble in your relationship that has just begun?""What are you doing here?" Kelvin straightened up in his chair, maintaining the scowl."I came to offer my sympathy." Karen smiles like a spider, "Angela can't forget Josias, can she?"Kelvin feels a light bulb go of
Felipe is nervously typing on the computer. Daniela can't help but feel like his keyboard keys are begging for mercy."Felipe, do you really need to type with such force?""Sorry, Daniela." Felipe takes a deep breath, rubbing his hands on his face, "I'm having a tough day.""Tell me what's bothering you." Daniela smiles gently.Felipe becomes defensive. "No. It's better for you to remain ignorant."However, Daniela's smile fades, and she rolls her eyes. "Let me guess: my father struck again?"Felipe remains silent.Daniela shakes her head. "Don't let it get to you. I know you'll never see me as a woman."Felipe abruptly stands up and strides towards Daniela's desk."What nonsense is that? I DO see you as a woman, Daniela!"Daniela is startled and leans further back, almost falling off her chair."I beg your pardon?"Felipe comically shakes his head, "Uh... I didn't mean it in that sense. I meant that you're more than just an accountant to me, Daniela. You're my friend. Of course, I'm
Josias and Angela face off once again."You're a damn liar who thinks of nothing but winning me over, huh?" Josias asks with utter disdain.Angela slowly stands up, unwilling to accept such abuse. "What is this? Why do you think you have the right to come here and insult me, expecting me never to retaliate? Your sense of humor is strange.""I'm not joking, Angela!" Josias shouts, "Do I look like I'm having fun?""No." Angela crosses her arms, "Anyway, do you believe me or not when I tell you that Melissa and Kelvin will never be 100% apart?"Josias gulps and tries to reason with the crazy woman, "Listen here, Angela: Kelvin and Melissa have twins to raise. I admit, that creates a bond between them. They've always interacted normally regarding Mary and Ignacio, never giving me any reason to doubt.""That's where they're smart." Angela insinuates, "But Karen found out their little secret. And you're angry with me instead of questioning your 'faithful' wife."Josias kicks a chair. "ENOUG
Josias is heading home. He wasn't feeling well, and as a precaution, he had arranged for Hector to drive for him in advance.In the back seat, he took deep breaths and tried to calm himself.Hector watched his boss through the rearview mirror and commented, "Don't worry, boss. That viper only has venom to spit.""You described Angela perfectly." Josias chuckled.His phone rang. It was Pedro."Hello, Pedro.""Uncle Josias, we need your help!"Josias quickly went into alert mode, "Calm down, Pete! What happened?""My dad had a heart attack because of Hamilton Lombardi!""Your dad had a heart attack?"Josias repeated the information on purpose for Hector to change the car's direction.And that's what Hector did. As he spun the car in a radical maneuver, he drove at full speed towards General Hospital.Pete heard the tires screeching on the asphalt. "Um... Uncle Josias, were you already heading home?""Don't worry. I'm heading to the hospital right now, Pete!" Josias declared."Thank you
Josias showed up at the hospital and asked the nurses at the reception about Beto."Excuse me, I'm looking for information about the patient Roberto Reis.""Mr. Rocha, patient Roberto Reis is undergoing surgery," The nurse replied after checking the computer."Is it serious? Did it have to come to this?" Josias reacted in shock."Unfortunately, Mr. Rocha, the patient was very weakened." The nurse was compassionate."Is his family here?""They're all waiting in that lounge." The nurse points to the door.Josias nodded. That lounge seemed to have become the private property of Josias and his circle.Upon entering, Teresa sighed in relief. "Oh, Josias, thank God!""Hi, Uncle Josias!" Maycon and Frank greeted him as they played Uno.Pedro was with them to distract them. When he saw Josias, he stood up. "One moment, boys."Josias massages his temple. "Can someone explain to me why this tragedy was Mr. Lombardi's fault? Pete, I thought everything was okay between you and Daniela.""Not ever
If he were weak of heart, Hamilton would have the same heart attack as Beto.Josias appeared as a cartoon character, emanating a powerful and at the same time scary aura.Hamilton was shirtless and in shorts, feeling unworthy in front of the gentleman in a suit and tie."Mr. Rocha! What the heck are you doing here?""Watch your language, Mr. Lombardi. We need to talk honestly." Josias responded seriously."And since when do we need to be honest? I never lied to you!" Hamilton glanced at the crooked door, "And who will take care of the repair?""Could you please stick to the conversation?" Josias asked with an imperial voice.Hamilton shrunk on the couch. His hand grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.Josias continued standing, with his arms crossed. "Why did you lie to Beto about your daughter succumbing to Felipe's charms?"Hamilton turned pale and momentarily speechless. "I didn't lie! I told the clearest truth!""Mr. Lombardi, you better confess the truth to me and not
