2021-08-23 18:39:51At the Crystal Blue restaurant, Ernesto is at the table with Bruno. They still haven't ordered anything from the menu to keep the space free, so Ernesto manages to flip through the portfolio Bruno brought.
"The fact that you sold my boss's penthouse weighs in your favor." Ernesto says, "But the majority partner at Silva Constructions is concerned that you can provide excellent service. You know, we want to work with the best."
Bruno is sweating but maintains his posture. "We can guarantee that we can do so. Mr. Gomes has just assembled a team of brokers to help them sell their properties."
"Yes, it coincided that you called when Silva Constructions decided to invest in apartments." Ernesto smiles, "Very well, young Castelo, I'll take this information to Mr. Rocha and Mr. Silva. Shall we ask?"
Bruno nods. Ernesto gestures and the nearest waiter answers them.

Melissa receives a visit from William. He's still wearing his work clothes and his helmet is under his arm. She leads him into the living room. William looks at the elegant, covered sofas and is reluctant to sit on them in his worn, cement-stained jeans."I'll stay standing." He smiles, "I came here to leave you a message from Raymond Chaves."Melissa purses her lips. That means Raymond will talk about Pamela. "How does that family still remember me?""They remembered when they saw me back in our old house." William jokes."What was the message?" Melissa sits like a diva."Mr. Chaves asks you to try to get closer to Pamela." William tells her, "He's sure that when the two of you were friends, you were the one who put sense into Pamela's head. He attests that since you girls fought, she's gone from bad to worse."Melissa feels praised, smiles slightly. "That's true. She came to you and you fathered Caio, you left soccer without telling us the

So early!"Who will be? Collectors?" Melissa asks humorously. She gets up and goes to answer it.In the living room, she narrows her eyes when she hears the doorman announce who it is. "Elza Rocha Queiroz?""That's right, Mrs. Rocha." The doorman kindly replies from the concierge, "Do I allow her in or do I call the police?"Melissa again resists the urge to choose the second option. "Let her in. My husband is using the knife for breakfast."The doorman scratches his head as he hangs up the phone. In front of him is a madame with an imposing pose, attire worthy of a “Dynasty” character, with a confident smile and a white hat to match her outfit. The lady also has Arab fea

Josias asks."He's alive, that's what matters." Elza replies by pursing her lips, "Your father would be 50 now if he had the wits.""Mother, are you still not over?" Josias asks angrily. If she only knew what he faced concerning this matter..."How will I get over it?" Elza becomes dramatic, "I could be present the day they murdered him, they could rape me... Glad you got away. That's what makes me furious the most, knowing Tony left you exposed to this danger... Instead of him finding honest employment, he preferred to borrow money from a pawnbroker! I often thought of the mistake of leaving you behind, but I took comfort in thinking that Tony was taking better care of you."Josias doesn't know if he immediately believes his mother's words.

Marcelo opines, "She doesn't have the qualifications to enter my restaurant.""Does she follow in her younger sister's footsteps, or is she the one who set the promiscuous example for her younger sister?"

"Congratulations on the floor plan, your architect draws very well. How many floors?"Josias responds in a serious and professional tone. "We've decided that the building will have five floors. The ground floor will be fully open, just for the entrance, lobby, and stairs. It will also serve as a parking lot. Four apartments will get the morning sun and four will get the afternoon sun.

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.

At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

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. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. 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. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning.

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