At night, Carmen was visiting her parents and anxiously asking Raymond: "Daddy, you have to help me! It's up to Adrian to beat those heartless people who keep despising him for being just the office boy!"

Pamela huffs on the sofa, learning to crochet. "But I didn't expect much from these people who worship Josias. The guy didn't get along with the sovereign sheik and everyone around him decided to despise Adrian."

Raymond scratches the stubble in his chin. "Well, I know a friend who works at a real estate agency..."

Carmen widens her eyes, grabs Raymond's arms, and shakes him, the chair being pushed along with him. "That's it! Give me the address; I'll talk to him today!"

Raymond smiles: "Calm down, dear daughter. Get me pen and paper and send your boyfriend to visit him tomorrow."

Carmen finds her phone book and passes a pen. Cristina is watching a performance on TV by Rita Coolidge singing "All-Time High", and she shakes her head in time to the m

Both are clenching their fists in anger that Adrian stood out.Adrian turns on his heel and doesn't even face who is dying of envy; he leaves Romualdo's room closing the door in a civilized manner."What the hell!" Tiago punches the file cabinet."He's going to be bragging about it for the rest of the year now." Josias, however, is calming down and accepting the defeat, "Let him be happy for now.""Well, I'm going to ask Melissa to set up a meeting with this real estate agent.

I love that man, Jeremiah, how could he be getting engaged to another bitch?"Jeremiah raises an eyebrow, sensing that the story is wrong. "Pamela, I don't think Melissa is a bitch. The two of them have been together forever.""Yes, and I've always tried to separate them. Looks like I'm going to have to seduce Josias and get pregnant with him for the third time!"Jeremiah smiles mischievously and approaches her. "You don't want me to help you with this plan?"Pamela gives Jeremiah a push even though her hand is holding the bakery bags. "Get out, Jeremiah! This time the father really has to be Josias's!""So you confirm that Caio isn't?" Jeremiah asks mockingly.Pamela shakes her head; her mind is totally on screws.

"Dude, what is this crazy idea?""My girlfriend asked for this favor." Adrian confidently explains, "She thinks that with the excellent results I bring to the company, I could have that right."Tiago breaks his frown and laughs. "Are you still new to the company and talking about the results you've brought?""Well, I'm specifically referring to the real estate agent and the new location for the Silva Constructions headquarters.""That's still up to us to decide." Tiago smiles from the corner of his mouth, "if the location you and the realtor have chosen is beautiful and suitable, I'll allow Pamela to show up. But, she can't complain later!"Adrian doesn't understand what Pamela might complain about later and shakes Tiago's hand.***Later, the real es

"Does it bother you so much that we stay together, Adrian? Do you have something to say to this?"Adrian shakes his head: "No, nothing! Neither I knew, nor Carmen; much less Pamela!"Melissa taps her foot. "Great, so-and-so will show up at Tiago's house thinking she's just going to find a barbecue. She's going to make a fuss when she finds out we're engaged and it's your entire fault!"Melissa walks away from the two to get a shovel and broom.

Benches and chairs dotted around, guests helping themselves to the meat that was already ready.

    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.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

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.

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

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. 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

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. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

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
