The days go by and things go back to normal. Josias is overjoyed and works harder at Seu Romualdo's construction site.
Romualdo, realizing that Josias is in a better mood, decides to refer him to one of the masons, Robson, so that he can teach him how to plaster the walls.
Uélton was 'promoted' back to preparing the plaster and he had to deal with the hoe again. With teachings and incentives from Josias, Uélton overcomes this difficulty and manages to perform the service.
In one of the breaks for lunch, Josias tells in more detail the conversation he had with Simeão. Uélton, however, was not satisfied with one detail.
“He didn't tell you who slandered you. This is a note that clashes with the set.”
“I'm 70% sure it was that Pamela.” Josias concludes while chewing bread with mortadella, “It was a lot of 'coincidence': she causes that scene on Friday, and on Saturday Melissa's father shows up

At Café Montanha, David was only served by another waiter since Neilton was deliberately attending to other customers. “Your supervisor lacks professionalism,” David said.

He and his wife are nice people over at the building.” With just those two sentences, David understood the whole story. Seeing Suzy with tearful eyes felt like something was stabbing his heart. Unable to contain himself, he approached their table, shouting, “And who asked for your opinion, you lousy waiter? People from the favelas will always be people from the favelas, wrap your mind around that!” Neilton nearly dropped the tray in shock at the interruption. Felipe, with his back to David, frowned. Suzy was wiping her eyes with a tissue. “David, not you too.” David looked at Suzy with pleading eyes. “I didn’t come here to hurt you, Suzy. I came to defend you! What did Pete Reis say?

Well...” Leonardo stood up again. “I thought he would honor his family’s legacy – the Bezerra Farm!” “I am honoring it by appointing a representative to take care of matters like the accident that happened with the truck,” J.J. replied, studying Leonardo’s body language. “But my dad wants me at Vasconcelos to represent him since he is the majority partner.” The phrase ‘he is the majority partner’ hit Leonardo like a punch to the face.

Just tell me what you think!” “Were you expecting me to praise something?” David retorted, always the sour one in the family. “Sorry, but I can’t feel anything special.” “You JERK!” Brendon barked. “Anyway, what are you doing here?” David looked Brendon up and down as if he were an insect. “You didn’t really DREAM that I would let my mom’s stores—” “—and my mom, your aunt—” “—be managed by just you, did you?” David asked without flinching. “Yes, I dreamed. Not only did I dream, but I made it happen. I’m taking care of everything and trying to hire more staff.” Brendon smiled. “There was a cute girl who left her resume, but I couldn’t call her in time. She’s working as Kelvin Mountain’s secretary now.” “Isn’t th

The office of the most sought-after lawyer in the firm did not match his reputation: it was a mess. Leonardo was on a phone call, had spilled coffee on his desk, and the cleaning lady was trying to clean it up before the spilled coffee stained a pile of documents she was organizing before the accident happened. “I’m telling you, man: she’s going to accuse you of harassment again to get your money! Don’t forgive her, don’t be a doormat—” Leonardo pulled the phone away from his ear. “He hung up on me, that son of a—” “Lawyer Borges!” The cleaning lady noticed the presence of the visitors. Leonardo turned on his heels and saw them. “Excuse us.” The cleaning lady left, eager for a break.
