Later, Josias returns to the office just to hear the news. He barely admits Adrian's presence and goes straight to Romualdo's office.
"We managed to deal the contract, Josias." Romualdo is not wearing his suit, the long sleeve of his dress shirt has been rolled up to his elbows, and his tie is loose. It seems that Romualdo has been celebrating.
"And how is the customer?" Josias asks with curiosity.
"I've never seen a more chic and refined customer." Romualdo whistles, "The rep ended up revealing that the boss wants the house in Europe Garden! It will be our first house built in that upscale neighborhood!"
Josias grins, "It will be our passport to Sunset Village."
"Octavio is in full swing, creating a floor plan according to the client's requirements. That's how I like to see it!"
Romualdo is very happy, and that infects Josias. He leaves the company owner's room and goes to the architect's office.
However, Octavio doesn't want to talk
The next day, Melissa is walking with Elisa in the lobby of the Vargas Building. The two see Pamela getting up from one of the straw chairs in the left corner of the lobby.She noisily leaves a magazine left for reading on the coffee table and approaches them with an evil smile.Melissa speeds up her pace and pulls Elisa by her shirt: "Come on, Elisa, we're late!""Is this all scared of me, darling?" Pamela asks in a loud tone, attracting the attention of others around.Elisa retains her arm and Melissa cannot walk to the roulette wheel. "Wait, my friend. Let's peel this asshole."Melissa takes a deep breath and turns to her archenemy: "Pamela, I thought we'd never see each other again.""Correction: I won't see Josias anymore because of my son. But, there's no contract preventing me from seeing you and disturbing you.""And you want to wait for my brother to make such a deal?" Elisa snaps back angrily.Pamela shrugs. "I'm not
Wallace tries to disguise that he is jealous of Pamela and Beto. He clears his throat and avoids the question: "No, Vera, what is this...""So why does the fact that she's gone out bother you so much?" Vera surgically asks, "Are you guys having a problem?"Wallace stares at Vera in disbelief. "She didn't tell you anything?"Of course, Pamela did. Vera remembers the chat at the club.The nightclub they went to was dark and cigarette smoke and other substances made them both look like they were in São Paulo traffic. The song "Don't Go" by Yazoo was really loud and Pamela and Vera practically screamed to hear each other.They were leaning against the bar and the alpha wolf-eyed bartender poured the ladies a cocktail with a roguish grin."He thought I was coming here with your brother, can you believe it?" Pamela reveals in a drunken voice. It was already her seventh cocktail while Vera drank her second."And why would Wallace be i
Ernesto starts to get worried about Adrian's constant questions. The truth is that he has always been active on the streets of Rainbow Garden, so it would be common for a resident to record his face.However, it was dangerous that right at Silva Constructions there was someone who would recognize him. Ernesto's luck is that he changed his appearance, as already specified.The secretary and representative of a client, who wants to build a mansion in Europe Garden, dressed and coiffed like a 1940s gentleman, prevent Adrian from making the necessary recognition.So Adrian gives up on asking the question, even more after Melissa's outburst and Elisa's approach with two cups of tea in a silver dish (the plastic dish was thrown away by Tiago)."I heard about tea in the kitchen and decided to bring it." She hands Ernesto one of the cups and he takes it, thanking her.Melissa tilts her head, indicating the hallway for Adrian. The two go there. Melissa open
Josias is standing at the entrance to the Green Park construction site. All the workers are in front of him, attentive to the announcement. The battery radio played "It Must Be Love", by Madness, making Uélton remember Natalia."Dear fellows," Josias was saying with a proud smile, "I want to announce that our first upper-class client has chosen our company to build a mansion!"Everyone is amazed by the announcement."Romualdo is analyzing the best team for this invaluable mission. If you have provided excellent service these past few days, feel privileged to take the name of Silva Construction Company to the wealthiest!"Everyone claps their hands in excitement. After the announcement ends, each one goes to his task.Uélton and William approach smiling, but Josias throws a bucket of cold water on them."Forget it!" Josias speaks in astonishment, "You are too young for such a mission. If I were still a bricklayer assistant, I wo
At night, Moacyr appears in the living room wearing a blue robe, as he has just come out of the bath. The door is being violently knocked."I'm coming!" He yells and opens the door. Adrian looms inside like a hurricane."Dad, I thought it was too late!" Adrian exclaimed in despair.Moacyr does 'tsk' with his tongue and closes the door. "Oh, it's you. I was in the shower. What happened so urgently that you wanted to talk to me like that? Couldn't you call?""These things aren't said over the phone!" Adrian sits down on the couch. His look is conveying dread."What happened, son, speak up!" Moacyr takes a seat in the armchair, "It's scaring me.""You're scaring me!" Adrian complains, "Do you really need to declare war on the moneylender?"Moacyr chuckles, understanding the conversation, "I believe Octavio told you about it.""Have you talked to him yet?" Adrian exclaims unrepentantly."Yes, he came here, got my address fro
At Josias's house, William and Stacy were standing in the living room, trying to convince Melissa and Josias to go with them to the same nightclub where the others from the previous chapter are.But, Josias and Melissa are slumped on the sofa, showing fatigue and lack of will."Come on guys, it's going to be fun!" William was trying to coax them."You guys go." Josias replies in a tired tone, "Today was heavy."Dora is feeding Caio a bottle and giggles: "Look, my grandson: your father is working hard at that construction site and is willing to go to a disco; your uncles who work in the air conditioning room are dead tired!""Come on Melissa, you're the one who worked the least!" Stacy tries to encourage her."Girl, I had to put out a symbolic office fire today." Melissa regrets."But after all," William asks, "How do you hope to achieve great things, according to Everaldo's prophecy, if you don't leave the house? This nightclub is a g
"So, let's go back to the table?" Pamela asks.She tries to turn around to go back to the table, but Beto quickly stops her with his arms. "Shall we dance some more?"However, the next song the DJ put on was "Heartbreaker" by Dionne Warwick. Only older couples remained on the dance floor."Oh no, this one is for lovers," Pamela responds with laughter.She tries again to walk to the table, but Beto keeps holding her and putting himself in front of her, so she doesn't see the table. "Let's dance, then!"Pamela stares at Beto, smiling and wide-eyed. Is he falling in love with her?The problem is that Pamela is already too drunk to suspect why Beto doesn't even let her look at the table they were at. She leans against his chest and the two continue dancing slowly. But, Beto does everything possible not to turn towards the table.Meanwhile, Wallace and Vera are so focused on kissing that they forget about everything and everyone. When they
Wallace hunts his clothes with his eyes, and when he finds them scattered on the floor, he gets up, collects the clothes, and hurriedly begins to dress, blushing with embarrassment.There are more and more noises and indications that someone was using the toilet.When he's dressed in his underwear, Bermuda shorts, and has his shirt in his hands, the bathroom door opens and Vera comes out wearing one of Pamela's robes and another towel wrapped around her head. She is smiling and feeling victorious.She appears in the living room and finds Wallace gaping and terrified. Wallace's face makes her laugh."Good morning, Wally!" She jokes, "I didn't think you thought I was pretty when you saw me early in the morning. I don't have makeup on.""What are we doing here?" His roar sounds like an angry lion.But Vera shakes her head in the negative, joking and mocking. "Oh no! Don't give me that 'I drank too much and I don't remember' trick it won't stick
