A month passes. Romualdo paid the last month's rent agreed with the landlord and now Silva Constructions Company will move into the new commercial building.
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 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!"

"It's necessary to check the company you buy the cement from. Our guys are complaining that it's not coming in the same quality as before. We don't want a wall to fall or a plaster to crumble.""Don't worry, Milton," Josias assures seriously, "I'll talk to Romualdo and let him know we need the best materials.""Is it true, sir, that we will soon be building houses in Sunset Village?"

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. Sometimes Josias's fear is so irrational that it's funny. ****** Pamela comes home from work

After admiring the landscape, Octavio gives Josias a ride back to his house. Josias is in awe of Octavio's promptness at the steering wheel."Dude, you make everything look so easy...""Maybe because it's easy," Octavio replies, "Wouldn't it be the case that you were out of your mind?"Josias ponders for a few seconds before answering: "Not just the loan shark issue, but there are many things involved with the company. 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."
