Josias visits Moacyr. The two of them are sitting on a sofa each.
Josias apologizes to Moacyr for not coming earlier, "Melissa forgot to give me the message, Mr. Barbosa."
"That's okay, she must have her mind full of problems."
Josias heaves a sigh: "So Adrian came here at his office hours to hassle you."
"He said he was going to resign."
Josias chuckles. "Romualdo and Tiago refused. They said they haven't screwed Adrian enough yet."
Moacyr has a serious expression. "Josias, I know you respect me as a father."
"Of that, you have no doubt."
"So I'd like to ask you a favor."
"Maybe two."
"Let Adrian go."
Josias takes a deep breath. If it were up to him, Adrian would never have come in. "You know that for me Adrian would be gone, especially after learning that he's been flirting with my fiancée."
"I asked Mr. Silva to employ Adrian so that he would stop living irresponsibly. It seems that he has

I thought my daughter deserved a better place!""I think I made it very clear what kind of treatment your daughter deserves.

"Are you sure a fight didn't happen at Harold Freire's house?"Beto keeps concealing it. "No, little sister, there was nothing like that. Wallace showed up, we confronted him and he promised not to do it again. He guaranteed that he loves you and that he's going to marry you."Vera sighs in relief. "Whew!

Keep your voice down, any moment Adrian might hear us."Josias confirms, "No, Igor, we haven't told Melissa. She feels like she's going to faint just hearing the hypothesis from Adrian's mouth.

He's already asked me for forgiveness."Natalia pretends she wasn't impacted by the information and tries to disguise it, "You look ridiculous with that nickname the other one gave him."Vera is puzzled.

"I thought I was doing you a favor! Didn't you ask for your resignation and they refused?"Adrian continues with his paranoia, "Yes, but by you meddling in this matter, it only makes it more obvious that Josias wants to steal you from me!"Moacyr finishes drinking his tea and places the cup on the coffee table.

I've always wondered about the way things turned out.""It was a stroke of bad luck for all of us that Wallace was robbed. Pamela could have broken it up without that."Josias frowned. "I still can't get over that coincidence that Wallace stayed with Vera while Pamela was dancing with Beto.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
