2024-10-29 19:42:56Tiago does not agree with Romualdo's decision to keep Uélton's team inoperative.
"Romualdo, anyone who listens to you will accuse you of persecution." Tiago asks, "Why do you want to leave Uélton out? His work on the mayor's mansion is over."
"Yes, it's because of the mayor that I made this decision." Romualdo smiles, "I don't want that messed up guy ruining the electrical installation of a residential complex. If the mayor's mansion catches fire, only he and his family will experience the problem. But in a residential complex with countless low-income families... Silva Constructions will go bankrupt!"
Tiago purses his lips, "What's really bothering you, Romualdo?"
"Nothing." Romualdo gets up unexpectedly, "Just pass the message. When we have another client, Uélton will be contacted promptly."
Romualdo withdraws as if he feared some reprisal from Tiago. Not that he didn't deserve it.

Uélton is surprised by the proposal of his friends to help him with the civil marriage. Carlos gets up from his chair."I imagine you're quite satisfied, huh? How lucky you are to have friends who love you!"However, Uélton reacts as if such a favor were an offense. He folds his arms and frowns, "But do you think I can't afford a wedding party?"Dora and Carlos are taken by surprise by Uélton's adverse reaction.Carlos wisely replies, "Uélton, it's not that you do this on purpose. We just know that, for now, your financial situation isn't good. Of course, you're capable of recovering.""That is the question." Uélton speaks with wounded pride, "I'll recover. I already got the loan. I'm paying off my debts. And if you don't know yet, I work on the first team at Silva Constructions.""Great, we know that!"

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.

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

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.

Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning.

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.

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