Moacyr is completely disappointed in Adrian. This is not the education he had given him. His mother, if she were still alive, would die of heartbreak, even more, because he had sex with a slut and didn't even put on his underwear to sleep, so drunk he was.
"You are the shame of the Barbosa family!" Moacyr exclaims, his face burning, "How do you expect to keep this house? Do you think I'm going to live forever? You never wanted to look for a job again after you left the last one."
"I'm looking, but it's hard to find, Dad," Adrian says that lame excuse. The truth is: Adrian doesn't give a damn about looking for a job.
"Listen, I came here to tell you that I got you something to do at Silva Constructions," Moacyr speaks a little more calmly.
If Moacyr has calmed down, Adrian is the one who becomes most shocked and desperate. He immediately gets up and screams, "Silva Construction Company? Are you crazy? Me, working at that damn company?"
Moacyr crouch
Wallace narrows his eyes in such a way that it looks like he's firing a laser beam to exterminate Pamela. He clenches his fists and takes two steps towards the cashier, wanting to spank Pamela and drag her away by her hair. But, Beto notices his movement and stops him by the shoulder.Beto grabs Wallace's shoulder so tightly that Wallace complains of pain. "Oh, man, so you dislocate my shoulder! I will consider this an accident at work.""What did you intend to do, a scandal?" Beto speaks in whispers so as not to get Pamela's attention.But, Pamela is so focused on her task that she paid no attention to them."I told her not to come to work, that she was banned! Who encouraged her?" Wallace growls."She probably decided on her own. Pamela doesn't strike me as one of those swayable women." Beto responds with the naughtiest smile there is.Wallace looks at him with more outrage. "And since when do you know what she looks like?"Beto dis
Josias furrows his eyebrows in such an extreme way that it gets to be comical. The pastor restricts the desire to burst out laughing. "What is it, my son? Did you get a scare with the information?""Pastor, I have been trying to contact Everaldo for three years without success!" Josias starts to wander around as if he's drunk, "Why is he running away from me? Does this man really exist?""What are you talking about, son?" The pastor thinks Josias has been drinking."Sometimes I think, Pastor, that Everaldo is not a human being, but someone from heaven to bless me and drive me crazy at the same time!" Josias screams these words with dilated pupils.The pastor turns his face to the side to hide his giggle. Then he looks back at him. "Brother Josias, I don't think Sister Cleide agrees with your thesis. She is dating Brother Everaldo and can conclude that he is flesh and blood.""We'll see at the wedding, on the honeymoon, what her opinion will be."
Josias still doesn't have the head to go to the office and see Adrian, so he decided to have lunch with Dora and Caio, and then he went to the supermarket to do some shopping for the office. Some might think Josias was being a coward, but no; he just wanted to postpone the confusion.Josias was sure that as soon as he met Adrian in the office, the two would grapple and roll on the floor between punches and elbow blows.Josias enters the supermarket and goes straight to the gondolas, paying no attention to the cashiers. But, from where Pamela is, she sees Josias and immediately grins. She feels that she is ovulating just from seeing Josias from a distance.Josias buys some biscuit packages and more tea for Melissa to prepare. He notices that he has not seen Wallace doing the goods replacement. Josias barely imagines that Wallace is at the back of the supermarket, in the warehouse, unloading trucks and more trucks, being a legitimate workhorse, as the supervisor h
Josias finally goes to the office to see how things are going. Along the way, he meets Octavio. Seeing his teenage friend, Josias lets out a sigh. Wallace was a friend of his, but now he was forced to punch him for committing the cowardice of assaulting a woman. Both are now enemies. Will he be able to maintain his friendship with Octavio?Josias hopes so; because if for some reason the two of them become enemies, the situation will be worse: Octavio is an employee of the company and this could tarnish Josias's reputation. Then Romualdo and Tiago would dismiss Josias without mercy if he creates confusion with Octavio.Therefore, when the two approaches, Josias opens the biggest smile and greets Octavio. "Good to see you, buddy!""What smile is that, comrade? I'm just a trainee architect." Octavio responds humbly."Don't think so," Josias comments as he opens the gate, "you will see how you will be a fundamental part of our company."As they go up t
Pamela and Wallace return to the apartment still under discussion. Wallace slams the door so hard that Pamela feels she could be the one to take that blow.She looks at her boyfriend with terror in her eyes. "I was wondering if you thought I was that door, to slam it so violently.""Shut that damn mouth, you filth!" Wallace yelled at the top of his lungs, his face all upset, his eyes blazing."Ah, you know what? I'm not going to stay here before you do something stupid." Pamela decides.However, she takes only two steps. Wallace grabs her by the arm so hard that she almost dislocates a bone."Ouch! Let go of me, you brute, savage! It was taking so long to show that violent side of you!""And do you think Josias has a sweet and lovely side?" Wallace asks with caustic irony, "Don't you think he already did beat up Melissa? He has that Arab sheik pose; he sure has already lashed her.""You don't know anything about the Arab world, go rea
Teodoro is tidying up the building's news board, taking out old news, and posting recent news. At the same time, he dances to Kajagoogoo's song "Too Shy". Teodoro is like that, the body of an old man, the spirit of a young man.But, his festive mood will be spoiled in a little while. Beto returns from work with a serious and worried face. The father turns to him and breaks his happy face. "I'm not even going to ask how your day was."Beto exclaims: "A horror, dad! A Stephen King movie! Wallace caused trouble and assaulted Pamela! It seems he didn't agree with her going back to work.""Really? I didn't know Wallace was that violent being. It looks like we're going to have to revise our plan." Teodoro responds with concern."Why?" Beto asks, afraid of the answer."It's because the idea of Pamela disobeying Wallace came from your sister. She came to see me, and I took advantage and said that Pamela was at home. Vera took the opportunity to visit her
A few more days pass. Josias and Melissa so far don't know what happened between Pamela and Wallace. Uélton, of course, knew; but he didn't want to tell his friends so as not to spoil his happiness.After all, he and their parents are enough to worry about. Wallace had shown up at their house feeling entitled to complain. But what he got was to be slapped again by his father."Now you got it, huh?" Harold asks in a sarcastic tone, "From a shy, religious boy to a violent shameless woman bully?""You do not understand my situation!" Wallace insists on justifying himself, "I love Pamela, I need to have her with me! How is she going to love me if she still has lustful thoughts about Josias?""We already told you what you have to do about it!" Isabel cries impatiently, "Quit that whore, come back home, and pick another more decent and honorable girl to date!""I don't want another woman, I want Pamela!" Wallace raves fiercely, scaring everyone, "
Adrian becomes jealous when he witnesses Josias asking Melissa to go to the movies. Melissa gets up from her seat and smiles emotionally."Awn, Josias... so that was the surprise? Yes, I accept. Are we going to see 'Flashdance'? Everyone is talking about this movie...""Your new friends?" Josias asks with interest."Well, I'm going out with Elisa." She candidly explains, "She has been a more valued friend than Pamela."Melissa utters the last part in a high tone to trample Adrian. But, Adrian is oblivious that he is dating Carmen.Letting Adrian work closely with Melissa has only helped him to nurture hope...When Josias goes to Romualdo's office without saying good morning to Adrian, he wastes no time and approaches Melissa's desk. "Colleague, are you sure it's a good idea to date this guy?"Melissa's eyes widen and she stares at Adrian. What the hell is this question?"Ehr, sorry; who are you to give me any advice?" Melissa a
