2021-05-30 19:17:28In the afternoon, after the end of classes, the students at the school where Melissa study fled away, once again giving the impression that they are fleeing Auschwitz. Melissa, Jenny, and Pamela are walking civilly.
"These people who run from school will regret it when it comes to getting a job," Melissa speaks with disdain.
"Do not worry, dear." Pamela says, “We, as women, don't have to worry about that. We only study so as not to be illiterate, but boys are the ones who have to worry about jobs!”
"So explain to me why precisely the boys are the ones who run in the front and with more speed?" Melissa replies defiantly.
Pamela was about to swear at Melissa when she saw Fabrício from a distance and stopped in time.
Fabrício decided to show up when Melissa left school to surprise her. He's wearing a blue shirt, jeans smelling new, and impeccably white sneakers. He also held a gift in his hands, properly wrapped with a pink b

So Pamela and Melissa say goodbye, the last one entering the house with the gift in hand. Upon entering the room, Melissa unwraps and sees what she got from Fabrício.She decides to sit on the bed, such a surprise.Inside the gift box was a walkman, a novelty in the music market. This device had been invented last year, and now in 1980, it was still expensive for the lower classes.But, Fabrício comes from a family with good financial conditions, and he easily bought one for Melissa.Melissa stood for long minutes admiring the new acquisition. Now she could listen to whatever cassettes she wanted, while the rest of the family continued on the normal radio. She just couldn't walk on the street with this, as she would get undue attention.It wasn't that Melissa was afraid of being mugged. Probably thieves wouldn't even know what they were stealing!It is just that, as said, she does not want to give the impression that she is snu
Building My Life Chapter 86 Either He Or I
Josias gets furious when he learns from Pamela that Melissa won a gift."Pamela, if you don't tell me now what Melissa won and from whom..." He speaks threateningly and very close to Pamela, she is vibrating with the approach and with the manly and tough tone of his voice very close to her."Ain, Josias, I don't want to pour water on your beer..." She says not so convincingly."I still don't drink, so you can pour!" Josias grabs Pamela by the shoulders."Okay, can you drop me first?" Pamela pretends that she is offended and Josias releases her, “Fabrício approached us when we left school and gave Melissa a package. She was embarrassed, but accepted for education.”"If she wanted to be polite, she had to throw the package on the floor and step on it!" Josias yells with his face closed."You know very well that Melissa is not that temperament." Pamela observes, “And if you're one of those hot-head guys, you can forget
Building My Life Chapter 87 Fuss in the Bar
Josias is walking home, furious, frowning, looking more at the floor than ahead. When he passes the Hope Street corner bar, he sees from a distance Jeremiah drinking with another girl.Josias had some money in his pocket and decided to buy a bottle of soda to drink with dinner. He intends to keep it in Teodoro's refrigerator.When he enters, he finds the messy and chaotic environment strange. Samba was played on the radio, at a volume too loud for Josias's eardrums. Some customers talked too loudly as if they wanted to compete with the music. It was still early in the evening and they were already drunk; imagine when it's ten or eleven at night!Josias approaches the counter and asks the bar owner for a bottle of soda. After being served and paying for the product, Josias turns his back and prepares to leave, when a scene catches his eye.On the plastic table where Jeremiah and the other girl are, three men older and stronger than Jeremiah is approaching
Building My Life Chapter 88 Josias Saves the Night
To the surprise of everyone involved, the older brother of the first girl smirks and asks, “What's your name, little boy?”“Josias Rocha.” Once again, Josias pronounces it as if he were an important authority.“Tiago Bento, but everyone calls me Tiagão, I don't know why.” The other two brothers and sister laugh. Tiago extends his hand and Josias greets him.Jeremiah is stunned, gaping. In addition to Josias defending him, he managed to tame the beast. Tiago is black, almost two meters tall, and much stronger and more muscular than Jeremiah. The other two who are next to him could very well be his bodyguards since Tiago looked like he was someone important.“Josias, we need to talk about your heroic act.” Tiago continues, “Elisa here spoke very well of you.”“He's my hero.” She speaks sweetly.Seeing this, Josias is sure that he had done the right thing in saving h
Building My Life Chapter 89 Talk to Her
Admired by Josias's decent and civilized stance, Teodoro congratulates him. “Very well, Josias Rocha! I see that you acted with principles. I would say that your father would be very proud of you, but it looks like he didn't teach you that.”"No, he didn't teach me." Josias confirms, "My mother taught me something about ethics and citizenship before she got divorced and disappeared from the city."“Anyway, once the subject of the bar has ended in a happy ending,” Teodoro rubs his hands, “we will continue to deal with the first subject. Young Rocha, you spoke as if you had lost Melissa. Aren't you going to ask her father for permission?”"I went to the football field to look for him, but I found Pamela first." Josias is crestfallen and shoulders slumped.“Pamela? Did she tell you?” Teodoro frowns, "Isn't she the one you suspected of slandering you to Mr. Campos?"“Yes, but nothing has been proven

William gets a fright as if he were not the reason for his mother's fright.“Calm down, mom, what is this astonishment for?”“What happened to you, my little boy? Did you fall, were you mugged?” Dora approaches her son with great concern.Simeão, however, smiles maliciously. “It's the fans, dear. William is very skilled, scoring a lot of goals, a performance worthy of a professional player.”“And that is why they tear up his clothes and chase my son?” Dora does not want to hear about young girls chasing after her son. She turns to William and looks at him, almost menacingly. “Son, remember one thing: Mom wants you to finish high school and fight to fulfill your dream, to be a football player. Don't get distracted by these bitches, don't get any girl pregnant, because that will ruin everything, understand?”“Yes, mother, I understand,” William speaks obediently and submis

Friday. Uélton and Josias talk about what happened yesterday.“Jeez, where does this Fabrício come from when you least expect it?” Uélton asks with a frown.“It looks like someone let him know when he must show up. The worst is that this is becoming dangerous.” Josias shakes his head in denial, “She has already accepted a gift, that is, she has already opened the door to a possible friendship.”“As long as she stays just in friendship, and date with you...” Uélton tries to add.“No way, buddy.” Josias enters the bathroom to finish the tiling job, “If Melissa is my girlfriend I will be her friend. Without space for others, this is how it will be.”Romualdo approaches the two with money in hand.“Ah, you are here, so let me take advantage.” Romualdo enters the bathroom and separates the notes.Uélton and Josias each rec

As in the movies and soap operas, this time no cars or pedestrians are passing on the avenue to help Pamela. She runs and screams like a possessed, but Fabrício is faster and grabs her around the waist.“NO! Let me go, you bastard!” Pamela screams at the top of her lungs.“Schiii!” Fabrício orders in her ear, “Do you mean that the best friend is keeping an eye on her younger brother, seducing the minor?”“I am too, damn it!”“But, he's younger, and he's Melissa's brother! Come on, Pamela, you're on fire for Josias and him, but you're not for me?”“Get your paws off me, let me go! Or I tell Melissa everything, and the plan is over!”Fabrício smiles wickedly, somewhat devilishly. “If you tell her, I'll tell her next that you're misleading the little brother. She will never forgive you. And I can add some details to shock her even more.”

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
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.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily.

Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

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.

Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? 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

Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. 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

At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. 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

Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. 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. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
