João Paulo and his assistant enter Vaztrans and go straight to Erasmo's office, which was left open.After all, why would Erasmo lock the door? There's nothing there to steal or spy on, right?João Paulo smiled widely at the stroke of luck. The assistant was quick to go behind the desk and sit down, strumming on the keyboard and clicking the mouse."Does it have a password?" João Paulo jokes, finding this implausible."No. This will only take a few seconds."The assistant took out something from the small folder he was carrying: a CD for recording files. He put it in the CPU drive and continued to root around for confidential information.Well, they should be confidential, but Erasmo didn't care much...João Paulo closes the door, not wanting to give bad luck a chance. "Erasmo is not careful, but we are.""I found it! All the files relating to finances." The helper vibrates."Pass everything to the CD. My brother needs to see this." João Paulo rubs his hands."Imagine the article you'

Who would have thought, huh? Maybe you should connect wi
Melissa handed the CD to Josias as soon as she saw him at Rocha Mansion.Josias had just come out of the shower after a day's work, still wrapped in a towel around his waist.As Melissa handed over the CD, she couldn't help but admire her husband's toned physique, maintained even in his forties."What's up, darling? Missing the '80s?" Josias winked playfully as he took the CD.Melissa played along, "What '80s? You've still got the same ripped abs and six-pack!""I do everything to please my wife." Josias kissed her like something out of a romantic comedy. "So, what's this CD all about?"Melissa frowned, dissatisfied with the interruption of the flirtatious mood. "Can we talk about that later, please? João Paulo wanted you to see it, but for now, let's talk about something more interesting.""Is Reuben ready to walk down the aisle with our daughter yet?" Josias placed the CD on the dresser and wrapped his arms around Melissa's waist."Not yet, but he insists everyone sign his cast. It'

"Okay, you can call me Olivia here too." Olivia didn't miss the chance to flirt, with her friend Denise in tow. "This is Denise, my friend.""Hello, handsome!" Denise greeted Matthew with the same flirtatious look."Do you both come here often?" Matthew asked as they approached the tables. One of them was unoccupied."When we want to clear our heads," Olivia and Denise sat down, with Matthew pulling out the chairs like a gentleman. "Thank you.""This is my first time here," Matthew replied as he sat down. "I'm really enjoying the atmosphere of this city.""Your mom is a celebrity. Delivering Melissa Campos Rocha's children and now her grandchildren," Olivia started the conversation."But she's about to retire. Maybe Reuben's children with Caroline Rocha will come into the world through other professionals," Matthew responded with a smile."Speaking of professions, will the X-rays be ready tomorrow?" Olivia leaned toward Denise and whispered something mysterious.While Matthew and Oliv
Next day. Matthew wakes up with a terrible headache, massaging his temple, not remembering anything."Argh.... I shouldn't drink so much. But Mrs. Vasquez and her friend..."Matthew tried to recall the events of the previous night.He was talking to Olivia, acting as a doctor instead of a club customer, when suddenly a bottle of wine appeared, and the two ladies started drinking.

WHAT?He recognizes his apartment room, but who is in the bathroom?The bathroom door opens, and Olivia comes out, still wearing the outfit she wore at the club but with a triumphant expression on her face.Matthew quickly tries to cover himself, but where are the blankets? And his clothes?"No! Not now! Let me admire you a little longer!" Olivia laughs, enjoying the distress of the younger man."What are you doing here?"
