Josias drives around the neighborhood in his car looking for Uélton. "If he throws himself in front of a car and dies, it will be all this Natalia's fault. How can someone be so cruel? Did she need to humiliate him like that?"
Finally, Josias finds Uélton walking awkwardly with his head down, steps quickening and occasionally bumping into passersby. Josias honks his horn and Uélton sees him.
"Get in the car, big fella." Josias practically orders.
"Don't waste your time with this loser."
Josias insists patiently, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Uélton has a mental snap and realizes what he was doing. He heads to the car and gets in. He still has time to be playful, "Okay, I want to get into a Ford Escort."
Josias giggles.

"Son, where do you go all dresse
The nightclub is crowded, the music "Street Dance" by Break Machine is at full volume.Adrian is feeling annoyed, not exactly what he expected. He struggles his way through the crowd and reaches the bar.Adrian asks the bartender, "Jesus Christ, is this place always like this, chaotic?""It's because today is Sunday." The bartender replies smiling at the crowded venue."And that music is for the sole purpose of making us deaf?"The bartender continues laughing. "I see it's your first time. You get used to it.""Then let's get used to the drinks you have."Adrian orders a classic cocktail. After being served, he drinks it turning to look at the crowd. And it is from looking at the crowd that he sees Vera walking among those present."Wow, I wonder if today is my lucky day?" He mutters.Vera approaches the counter and stops right next to Adrian. "A beer please!"Adrian quips, "Is beer an appropriate drink for a lady
Adrian walks among the busy streets of the city with a smile on his face, confident of getting something.He finds an address he was looking for and enters a commercial building to leave a résumé.********************************************************Tiago and Igor open the office and turn on the lights.Tiago comments, "Little brother, the success of Sunset Village has made me realize how Lagoon City is going to grow and become one of the largest cities in Espírito Santo."Igor agrees, "I can imagine. Almost all the land has been sold."Tiago expresses an idea he had, "That's why I'm thinking of proposing to Romualdo that we invest in real estate."Igor ponders with his hand on his chin. "A bold and risky idea."If we don't dare and take risks, we'll stay in the same place. Look at our brother Marcelo.""And Saulo has succeeded in being approved in the public examination, eh?"Tiago smiles
At the construction site, Simeon is walking among the workers with a frown. William is carrying a box of tiles into the bathroom."Son, do you know where Uélton is?""Can I take that box, Dad?" The two make their way to the bathroom. William deposits the box on the floor and rests his arms, "I don't know, hasn't he come yet?"Simeon scratches his helmet, "No, and I'm getting worried. After what your mother said yesterday, with Josias going after him to see if he didn't jump off a bridge...""Josias said he managed to find him and took him home." William comforts him.But, Simeon is not reassured, " And then what? Well, if we had Harold Freire's phone number...""He's in his work." William reminds him."I hope Milton doesn't give him a hard time." Father and son worry.********************************************************Wallace is surprised by Uélton appearing to him in the warehouse."Uél
Stacy visits Dora. Caio is playing with cars on the carpet. The two women are on the couch with coffee cups in hand.Dora notices Stacy with her mind elsewhere, her coffee goes cold. "Is everything okay, honey?"Stacy stares at Caio. "You're going to think I'm an evil girl, Dora. But, I feel something strange when Caio calls me 'mommy'."Dora is amazed at the information, "Why? It's not the boy's fault, he sees you and thinks you are his mother. You are always with my son.""That's the problem." Stacy expresses her opinion, "I can already foresee the day when he is old enough to understand and we have to tell him that he is actually the son of a whore."Dora replies firmly, "No further suffering. Sometimes I wonder if it's even necessary to tell."Stacy is wide-eyed. "Do you think it would be better not to say anything?"Dora shrugs. "What's the point? It will only confuse the child. If you tell him during adolescence, the most bombas
Carmen and Pamela meet for lunch together.Carmen excitedly announces: "I found Adrian in the square, he's also looking for a job!"Pamela reacts openmouthed. "Really? And why isn't he with you?"Carmen responds smartly: "We talked, he invited me, but I preferred to come with you."Pamela purses her lips, "Oh, sis, you'd better be with your man!"Carmen smiles: "No, honey, I'm doing the same thing in the soap. I'm not going to be desperate. He'll come after me. I've already made a good impression, I said he needed to appreciate himself, that he did very well quitting that one damn company."Pamela is excited. "Oh, yes! Encourage him and he'll remember that later.""He just said that."Pamela encourages her: "No doubt, he'll regret leaving you to try to be Melissa's lover."Pamela clocks out and the two leave. Outside the supermarket, they continue their conversation, walking to the restaurant."You know, sis," Car
Josias has already returned home and is now talking to Dora. Caio continues playing on the rug.On the radio, it once again plays Lionel Riche's record, now the song 'Hello'."Mission accomplished, Dora!" Josias exultantly announces, "I bought the penthouse.""What excellent news, Josias! And what did Melissa think?"Josias laughs: "Oh, that one isn't going to sleep today because of her excitement. The decor reminds one of those European mansions you see on TV."Dora tries to imagine. How glamorous! "If Elisa was with you, she sure approved.""Yes, she approved.""And Melissa, did she stay at work?"Josias shrugs. "She wanted to, I came home soon."Josias picks Caio up in his lap. Dora reacts with the memory."I saw you with Caio and I remembered. Josias, Stacy asked when you're going to hand over guard from Caio to William."Josias also reacts like someone who has forgotten. "Oh, I had completely forgotten
Vera is apprehensive when Melissa again suggests that Vera's approach to Wallace was a lie from the start.Vera appeals to authority: "Do you know who my father is?"Melissa nods: "Yes, and it pains me to say these things because my fiance holds Teodoro in great esteem. But Josias is a fair man."Vera is desperate. "I really don't understand why you and Josias are against me and my brother."Melissa expresses her doubt: "It's because things got worse just when you guys showed up! Should I believe in coincidences?"Vera is outraged. "Cool, you say you hate Pamela, but you'll believe her lies. I better go, I've got the answer I wanted. Tell that shameless Natalia that Wally loves me and she was a mistake. What if you really care with Wally's peace of mind, get her out of my way."Melissa snorts: "I don't agree with that, but I'm not going to scold her like she's a child either! I've already told her to stop; if she insists, then I can't do any
Uélton suspects that Vera somehow hindered the opportunity for him to speak what Josias and Melissa think of her to Wallace. But since he can't prove it, he just decides to go. "But I can't compete with your girlfriend."Wallace is embarrassed. "Uélton, don't be upset. Come in, have a coffee with us.""No, better go home. We'll chat another day."Wallace is intrigued, feels something is wrong. "Are you sure it's okay, little brother? You know you can count on me. I know I'm not being the role model brother these years, but I still love you and care about you."Uélton responds bitterly: "One day, big bro, you'll realize that none of this was your fault. Good night!"Uélton quickly withdraws. Wallace doesn't understand.********************************************************At Josias's house, everyone is having dinner at the table. Simeon clears his throat playfully. "So who's going to start?""You s
