Josias and Teodoro are frightened, as they did not expect anyone to be spying on the conversation. Josias is more irritated when he sees that it was Jeremiah who had dared to laugh at something he had said.
“What's so funny like that?” Josias swallows a piece of bread that he is chewing and gets up from his chair.
“You, saying you're still a virgin!” Jeremiah holds his hands on his stomach; it is hurting so much that he squirms with laughter.
“Jeremiah, stop being annoying!” Teodoro orders, “The boy is still eighteen, he is still young.”
Jeremiah holds back the laughter a little and concludes, “With eighteen years I already had plenty of experience. Josias is late! Then he talks about my father; his father must not have taught him to be a real man!”
Teodoro grabs Josias's arm, preventing the boy from leaving on top of Jeremiah. Josias regarded the tenant with hatred. Jeremiah felt victorio

"Melissa, you don't have to worry." Pamela smiles, maybe too much, "Nothing much has happened."Melissa snorts and turns to the dishes, while Pamela keeps what she dropped."William said he saw you lying on the street, crying for minutes, instead of you getting up and going home right away." Melissa insists, "In other words, you didn't cry for the fall, something else was happening and you couldn't take it anymore."Pamela holds the next dish too tightly.

She didn't want to go back to what she said. “He said yes, dear.”“But, that's not like him!” Melissa lets go of Pamela's hands and walks around the room stomping her feet.

Was it time for the father-in-law conversation?“Better that you wait here, I'll call him.” Teodoro walks away, not trusting him at all.For a few seconds, Teodoro thought that Simeão might be one of the henchmen of that moneylender who discovered Josias's whereabouts and came to kill him.Upon knocking on Josias's door, the boy opened almost immediately.“Forgive me for interrupting your nap.” Teodoro apologizes.“What nap?” Josias chuckles, “It's so hot today that I can't sleep.

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. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

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. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

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.

Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
