2021-07-06 19:15:26The movie "Flashdance" was a marvel for Melissa. She loved the story, the characters, the songs, and the choreography. Josias, on the other hand, didn't quite understand the plot and Melissa laughed.
Now the two are at Central Square to catch the Green Park bus. Melissa is humming "What a Feeling" by Irene Cara in what she thinks is English. Melissa can't say a word of English, not even 'How are you'. Josias smiles with his girlfriend's enthusiasm.
When the two are near the fountain, he seizes the moment: "I think it would be good for the secretary of the Silva Construction Company to join an English course."
Melissa stops humming and stares at her boyfriend in surprise: "Is this serious? Is our company that important for me to deal with international clients?"
"You never know, honey," Josias responds with a smile. Melissa walks again, but he holds her by the arm, "Wait, Melissa! I have something to say to you."
"What?" Melissa raises an eyebrow.

So Josias and William slept like stones until much later.Dora opens the bedroom door, wanting the men in the house to wake up. "C'mon guys! It's past nine in the morning, that's it!"Dora with her left-hand rips off Josias's blanket and with her right hand she rips off William's blanket. Both boys wake up in fright and cover themselves with their hands as they are in their underwear."Mom!" William yells, embarrassed and flushed, "Only Stacy can see me like this now!""Be respectful, boy, Stacy is not a slut!" Dora scolds him, "Get a pretty ring as Josias did and proposes her first.""Surely, as soon as Josias showed me the ring I started saving." William smiles mischievously."Oh, you rascal, you already knew and didn't tell me?" Dora plays 'whipping' her son with the blanket. Mother and son laugh.Josias takes advanta

Jeremiah goes up the stairs in a vexatious way. Josias turns to the landlord."I will have to expel this citizen," Teodoro speaks in a low, sinister tone."More and more, I think Jeremiah told Pamela about our plan to get custody of Caio." Josias shakes his head ruefully, "After you told me they've been cheating on Wallace, having intercourse in their apartment, it would be the most natural thing for that gossip guy to tell her.""Did your father-in-law talk to Jeremiah about this?" Teodoro questions without knowing why."Simeon worked with Jeremiah at the same mechanic shop. Currently, he has resigned and is working at Silva Constructions."Teodoro puts both hands on his head in despair: "Oh, my Father! It's explained why you had to appeal to plan B."Josias reacts with a mental snap: "Is she still in a good mood with Wallace?"Teodoro's eyes widened even more. "My boy, haven't you heard yet? Uélton hasn't told you?""U

Josias realizes that the Freire family was embarrassed by Wallace's sinking into their troubled and controversial courtship."Guys, here's the matter," He goes on, "you must be aware that I defended Pamela when Wallace assaulted her in the supermarket. I don't even know why, but I believe it's past time for the family to do something effective.""What can we do, Josias?" Harold asks desperately, "We've tried everything. We've given up hope."Josias smiles slightly. "All is not lost, Mr. Freire. You should take advantage of Pamela's leaving the apartment and talk to him. With the days going by, he must have thought better."Isabel folds her hands in a sign of hope: "God hears you, Josias. We need to rescue our son. Imagine what a shame: our son being arrested for assaulting women!""We hate Pamela, but that doesn't mean we want violence," Harold explains."So that's it, guys." Josias gets up, "Dora will arrange the engagement and then I'll le

As soon as Pamela has been slapped by her mother, Cristina glares at her and holds up her index finger, silently sending her a warning not to scream or complain. Then, as if nothing had happened, Cristina points to the cups."Take the cups for them to drink their tea." Cristina orders like a British Lady. She's probably imitating another character from the soap.Pamela swallows the curses and chooses five cups to take away, placing them in a plastic bowl for ease.Back in the living room, Carmen is smirking and barely hiding the urge to laugh, as she could hear the sound of the slap being delivered and she can see one of Pamela's cheeks redder than usual. Pamela spends the rest of the family conversation in silence.As Adrian leaves, Raymond announces to Carmen: "He's okay, daughter! But, what a strong, sturdy boy, huh? That's good; you'll give us healthy grandchildren.""And you'll have beautiful grandchildren, because he's handsome!" Cristina che

Wallace is sitting in the chair without the dining table, wearing a tank top that hasn't been cleaned properly (because Wallace doesn't know how to use the washing machine), drinking coffee that wasn't made to perfection, and listening to the song "Making Love Ain't Nothing at All" by Air Supply, which makes him more depressed and misses Pamela."I loved you, Pamela..." His eyes filled with tears.A knock on the door cuts through the apartment's depressing mood and he gets up to answer it. Upon opening the door, his family stares back at him in obvious astonishment."Wallace, what the hell is this?" Uélton once again does not discipline his tongue, "Turn off or put on some more lively music for you to get out of this pit!"Uélton changes the radio station until he finds "Telephone", by Sheena Easton. "Did you hear? This is much better!"If Uélton knew English, he would have realized that this song also speaks about a loved one

You are...""Vera Reis, I'm a friend of Pamela's, I came to visit her." Vera pretends she doesn't know everything that happened.From where Wallace is sitting, he sees Vera and smiles. "Let her pass, Uélton. She is Vera."Isabel looks at the beautiful brown-haired girl entering the apartment and smiles after confirming that it is the same girl she saw.

Now, father and daughter are sitting on the sofa, discussing the progress of the plan."You don't look very happy to me, daughter." Teodoro watches."Well, you forgot to tell me a little detail." Vera is worried, "That I was the cause of this relationship's downfall.""My daughter, this was going to happen sooner or later." Teodoro shrugs, insensitive to the feelings of those involved."I'm glad I managed to get around, and because I was truly worried, Wally forgave me and swore he didn't hold a grudge." She smiles, "He even got really close to me when I wanted to leave and he stopped me..."Teodoro chuckles, "Oh, love...""He's leaving, Dad."

We're getting married."Adrian breathes so deeply that he seems to have sucked in all the air in the world. "Why are you doing this, Melissa?""Wow, that's what people do when they love each other, they get engaged and get married after a few months. I think that next year we'll go up to the altar."Adrian's tea became too bitter for him to drink. "Melissa, I don't want you to be hasty.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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
