Monday. Melissa, wearing a dressing gown, opens the penthouse door for Elisa. She comes in with a clothes hanger wrapped in a black bag.
"Good morning Melissa. Did you sleep well?" She asks.
The two ladies exchange the three little kisses.
"I had some more nausea. I'm suspicious, my friend." Melissa responds. She narrows her eyes at the sight of the hanger, "What is this?"
"It's the new maid's uniform. If it doesn't fit, I'll bring another number."
Melissa grabs the hanger while Elisa goes to the couch.
Josias appears only in boxer shorts and is surprised to see Elisa present. "Whoa! Good morning Elisa... Erh..."
"Don't let Saul find out I saw you almost undressed." Elisa just smiles slightly, doesn't seem to be annoyed.
Melissa lets out a laugh. "I'm taking the uniform to Flavia."
Melissa goes into the bedroom and knocks on the door. Flávia attends, still sleepy.
"Good morning cousin!" Melissa greets her,
Pamela and Beto are getting married in a very simple way at the civil registry. The Justice of the Peace extends the documentation and the happy bride and groom eagerly sign. As witnesses, Beto called one of the warehouse colleagues and his wife.After everything has been signed, the justice of the peace announces with a smile: "Congratulations, Roberto Reis and Pamela Chaves; now, Pamela Reis: by the power of the State, you are now husband and wife!"The witnesses and the clerk clap their hands. Beto and Pamela kiss and celebrate.********************************************************Josias has not yet digested the information. He is sitting in his chair, frowning, drumming the fingers of his left hand on the top of his desk.Carmen comes in with a platter containing an unsolicited cup of tea, just to tease him. "Would you like some tea, sir?""Cut that tea bullshit!" Josias bursts out, "I demand an explanation of this clowning."
Vera is disgusted to know that Beto is getting married and hasn't even told her. "But what the hell is this? Why am I always the last to know things?"Ironically, Vera still doesn't know that Wallace already knows they didn't sleep together.Wallace hugs her, maybe too tight. "Calm down, honey. I'm sorry, I figured Beto was too cowardly to tell you. He's been judging us when we want to make love, but now he's marrying the most perverted bitch in Lagoon City. Be prepared to have five more nephews!"Vera lets go of Wallace as if he's covered in vomit. "That's not funny!"Wallace can't hide a nasty chuckle despite denying, "No, honey, I don't mean to hurt you." He grabs her again. Magically, there's no one around, "How about we relax our nerves in that corner? Let's take advantage of the fact that there's no more camera for Jorge to film our performance!"Vera feels all the blood on her face is gone. She remembers Saturday."Wally, we still hav
Beto's apartment is not tidy and cozy like Vera's. The fact that Beto left his house closed for years to live with Teodoro only made the situation worse.Pamela and Beto had their wedding afternoon in his room, which smelled like mildew. Pamela did not undress completely for fear of mites on the mattress and bedsheets. After the love act, Beto got up and went to the wardrobe. One of the doors came loose in his hand, as the piece of furniture is corroded by termites."There wasn't time to clean it up, dear." Beto apologizes.Pamela just smiles, wearing her nightgown. She doesn't want to be rude.As Jorge didn't give Beto the day off, he ran to the bathroom to shower and go back to the warehouse.Pamela puts on her clothes and greedily searches for cleaning supplies to start tidying up. She is now Mrs. Reis, and a housewife must ensure hygiene and asepsis.The floor was grimy and the furniture in the living room was dusty. Pamela swept, mopped
Tuesday. Melissa is wearing a nightgown that looks like a Japanese kimono, with a cup of coffee in her hands. She turns on the radio and chooses a station until she listens to David Foster's song "Love Theme of St. Elmo Fire". Melissa smiles, believing the music is worthy for Mrs. Rocha.Flávia appears in a hurry and only wearing a towel crossing the living room to her bedroom."Cousin!" Melissa catches her eye, "Did you use the bathroom on the other side of the penthouse?"Flavia freezes as if she were a criminal. "Ehr... Is there a problem?"Of course, there was a problem. In addition to Flávia risking pneumonia, there was also a risk that Caio would see his maid in that state.Melissa didn't think about the danger of Josias seeing Flavia's beautiful body just wrapped in a bath towel."There is a bathroom near your room.""Oh, I thought it wouldn't bother you." Flavia smiles yellowy. The bathroom Melissa referred to is
At the Crystal Blue Restaurant, Marcelo is delivering the day's menu to the receptionist."We managed to buy the escargot. Soon we will include the dish in our menu. And we have raised the price of the medallion, we are in increasing demand.""Got it, boss." The receptionist nods.Elisa enters breathing deeply and indignantly. Marcelo makes an aristocratic gesture and the receptionist walks away."Sister, what happened?" Marcelo gently takes Elisa by the arms and the two siblings sit at one of the tables."Melissa and Josias's married life has barely started and I already have to save them from a divorce." Elisa almost cries like a little girl."Who is in the way?""I suggested that they hire employees to maintain the status of Mr. and Mrs. Rocha. Well then, Melissa hired her cousin who lived in the Capital. That cousin has already hooked up with Josias and is using her tight uniform to seduce him."Marcelo is tender and admoni
Octavio is gathered in front of Romualdo, Josias and Tiago. He is excited and declares good news."I found it, gentlemen! A land in Saint Gabriel that will be perfect for our apartments. As the City Hall is building a College of Exact Sciences not far away, in addition to the value of the land, it will attract countless university students who will want to rent something smaller, a one-bedroom, as will be our properties!"Silva Constructions' partners clap their hands. Soon, construction will begin!"Congratulations, Octavio!" Romualdo is very anxious, dreaming about the money falling into his bank account. He turns to Josias, "Have you set up the special team, Josias?""Unfortunately, Uélton will be left out, if that's what you want to know," Josias responds seriously.Romualdo giggles. "Let me guess: he turns on the battery radio and keeps dancing to the music while he's working with high-voltage cables?""That's how he met that Nat
Flávia is struggling with the popcorn, all flustered, letting several grains escape when they pop into the pan. Dora appears and helps her."You picked the wrong lid, niece!" Dora picks up the correct lid and covers the pot. But, the kitchen is already full of wasted popcorn on the floor."I'm sorry, Aunt Dora." Flavia regrets."Go get a broom to sweep this floor."The doorbell rings, making Flávia feel in heaven."Better saying, go see Ms. Queiroz." Dora changes her mind.Flavia purses her lips. Another rich lady who came to snub and show off in front of others?She goes to the door through the living room where Stacy and Caio are already and opens the door for Elza. Elza frowns at the maid's tight uniform."My daughter-in-law couldn't buy a suitably sized uniform or are you so ignorant that you don't know the size of your clothes?""Listen here, you—" Flavia swallows the curses when Caio approaches
Saturday. People are celebrating Melissa's pregnancy at another barbecue at Tiago's house.Melissa is sitting by the food table being the center of attention. Around her, women are talking and giving their opinion about the baby."We have to prepare the baby shower," Isabel informs."I have no idea what that is." Melissa regrets."Don't worry honey, we'll help you," Elza assures her, and no one dares to deny it.Melissa looks at Dora and her mother nods.Near the barbecue, the men are talking."Jeez, but that Josias's mom is still cute, huh?" Teodoro comments slyly with a glass of beer in hand, "How did his father let this beauty get away?""The desire to stay at home for nothing spoke louder." Harold laments."Josias always speaks of his father in a mournful tone, without rancor." Uélton comments, "But the impression we have is that Mr. Rocha was just an irresponsible vagrant.""She hasn't had a chance to
