The Vargas Building is a newly constructed building, with four years of existence, contains 20 floors and two more floors of parking. In this building, there are private medical offices, real estate agencies, law firms, the headquarters of a telephone company in the city, and now, the company of Romualdo, Tiago, and Josias.
Instead of a modest building with a barred gate that is opened by secretaries, the Vargas Building has a huge lobby. It contains sandstone-colored floors and white walls, wood furniture to match the floor, three elevators occupied with numerous people ascending and descending, a huge bench where receptionists control the entry of people through identification and turnstiles.
The receptionists' clothes are in the same line as Melissa's clothes that were bought by Elisa; she mentally thanke

He walks to the entrance, where Melissa is at her secretarial post and now also acting as a receptionist. She's on the phone."Yes ma'am, we've changed our address.

He approaches and slaps Adrian's head, trying to rip the headphones off.Adrian's walkman is of a better make and newer model than Melissa's. That's why Adrian is scared and afraid of the functioning of his device. He carefully removes the headphones and strafes Josias with his gaze. "Hey, watch out, this walkman is new!""And which money did you buy this walkman?" Josias asks sternly, drawing Melissa's attention."Not everyone has a careless father like yours!"

Josias shakes his head regretfully. His voice came out weak and dismayed: "I can't, Octavio, I can't against this guy." "What's so deterring you from seeking justice?" Octavio insists firmly. "The guy is powerful. That's it when I ran away in 1980. Three years went by and no one did anything, imagine what he must be like now?" Octavio ponders, "Well, his house looks like it's from Europe Garden, and he'll probably be Sunset Village's first resident." Josias has a start and shivers. "We can never let the shameless choose our company!" "And how will we know if we don't even know his name? I've only seen him once or twice myself, I wouldn't recognize him if he appeared in front of me today." Josias heaves a sigh. What a difficult situation! Octavio gets up. "Let's go out, cool off a bit. You need it." Josias looks at him piously. "It's true. I hope he doesn't find me." Octavio chuckles.

We have five construction sites and this morning Melissa scheduled a meeting with another client for tomorrow.""That's the problem. When you're behind the wheel, you can't let your mind wander with so many distractions. You need to focus." Octavio advises him."I'll try it in the next class.""I'm warning you, buddy: you'll just relax when you resolve this issue with the loan shark. I believe that if everyone in the neighborhood joins forces, we'll get rid of that bad guy.""That's what Mr. Moacyr Barbosa always says."

Just out of spite, David was taken to the Happiness Slum police station, where Dylan was now interrogating him and pressing him against the wall. David was shaking while handcuffed, thinking he might have a chance to escape. “What is going on here? LET ME GO! This station is not equipped to handle my problems!” Dylan sat at the desk, keeping one of his subordinates nearby, standing by the door. “Oh really? It just so happens that it’s the opposite: Commissioner Tavares said he doesn’t want to see your face at the headquarters!” David was horrified by the remark. “What does that mean? We can’t allow such abuse! Call my dad immediately!” Dylan, grinning with delight, leaned back in his chair. “Mr. Souza, it was your father who ordered us to remove you from the Rocha Constructions building.” “That’s IMPOSSIBLE! My dad never ordered Alan’s arrest!” “Isn’t it because Alan Campos Rocha has never given the police any reason to detain him?” Dylan asked ironically. “And on what charges

The man, who was the victim’s brother, was staring at everyone with disdain and arrogance. “You have to understand that we can no longer shop at this supermarket, right?” he kept saying. “My poor brother used to come here because the wine prices were cheaper, but now... we’re going to have to resort to the little store closer to home, even if it costs more!” Nadia was outraged. “Mr. Cintra, don’t be arrogant!” Mr. Cintra raised his chin at Nadia. “I can sue you for this too, you know?” “No, you can’t,” Thierry emphasized, tearing the check from the invoice and hastily extending it to him. “Take it and get out of our sight!” “You are in the wrong and still want to play the victim!” Mr. Cintra simply felt entitled to cluck. “Thank goodness my brother didn’t die!

A few moments later, Daniela was walking through the corridors, thinking about the possibility of being pregnant. She even placed her right hand on her belly, already imagining herself carrying the heir of the Reis family.

"At this hour, Mary must be in the penthouse, keeping an eye on Anthony." "Oh, did they say they were going to do that?" Melissa smiled slightly. "Yes, someone texted them asking for it. Probably Kelvin," Simeon replied seriously. Dora explained, "Daughter, let's hope Daryl doesn't take advantage of the closeness to poison our grandchildren's minds." Melissa was alarmed. "What are you saying, Mom? I won't allow that!" "No, I know you won't allow it." Dora frowned. "That's why I hope you visit Kelvin and set some boundaries."

"Dear, before we were interrupted, you were saying something about me being right to be suspicious of Suzy Cogo. I knew that smartass was planning something!" Alan scratched the back of his neck. "I feel like she was the one Everaldo mentioned in the prophecy." Sofia's eyes lit up. "That's true! Suzy is the only one investing out there! Do you think she will want a slice of Rocha Constructions?" "I sincerely hope my dad doesn't agree to sell any shares. I won't do that. Better warn Caio." Alan became serious. "Well, I'll have to put up with her at Vaztrans." Sofia sighed, feeling discouraged. Alan turned to his wife with curiosity.
