2024-10-29 19:42:56At Silva Constructions, Tiago finds Romualdo in his office, sitting in the presidential chair, meditating with his hand on his chin.
"Romualdo? Meditating again?"
Romualdo seems to wake up from a trance, "Did you say something, Tiago?"
Tiago smiles and closes the door. The boss must be in a lot of trouble.
"I'm seeing you very meditative these days. What's going on? Is there a problem we're going to face?"
Romualdo straightens up, "No, I think it's actually going to be the solution for all of us."
Tiago rubs his hands, "So say, what it is?"
"I had sworn to my wife that if Josias, on returning here, was once more successful, I would ask for my withdrawal from the company and pass the throne over to him."
Tiago doesn't know what to say. Having Josias triumph over almighty is all he wants most, but he also doesn't want to be disrespectful to Romualdo.
"Oh... I got it..." Tiago replied cautiously.

Continuation of the conversation between Tiago and Romualdo about Josias. Tiago doesn't agree with the sudden decision of the company's owner."Do you understand the enormity of the situation, Tiago?""You're saying you're going to retire to leave Josias in your place just because you can't accept that he's successful at what he does without your interference!"Romualdo nods, "Kind of it. If Josias can do a good job always counting on the blessing of God and that Everaldo, if everyone in Lagoon City treats him with more respect than me... then there's no reason for me to stay here."Josias appears at this point and starts to open the door, but when he hears the conversation, he remains where he is with the door ajar.Tiago counters in amazement, "So you're retiring out of spite!"Romualdo remains calm, "I'm wanting the best for Silva Constructions. And if the best thing for my company is to have Josias as president, so be it."Tiago w

Josias is surprised to see Romualdo jealous of him. He's not surprised when Adrian complains, but Romualdo? A man who is in his fifties?"Please, Romualdo, don't think that I wanted to steal your kingdom. It was never my intention."Romualdo responds by getting up, "It turns out that's exactly what's happening, Josias. I'm not saying you're 'stealing' my place, but you're really being the leader of Silva Constructions in people's minds. When it comes to this company, everyone thinks on you, not me."Josias rages, "That's because of that damn biography that should never have come out.""Well, what I was talking about with Tiago is this: I am thinking strongly about withdrawing and I believe you will be the best successor. The people already love you, the mayor too."Josias is not flattered, "But, you're saying these things like I'm your enemy."Romualdo is impatient with Josias's modesty, "The decision is made, Josias.

Another Europe Garden customer wants us to build a mansion."Josias takes the paper gladly, "We are without a doubt a quality company, huh?"Carmen lowers her voice, "Josias, is it really true what my husband told me... that you're the one taking over the company?"Josias replies playfully, "Don't assume your husband is lying."Carmen shakes her hands, "Oh no, that's not it, he, he... it's always nice to hear the news from the source.""Yes, the proposal was made by Romualdo, I'm thinking about the benefits.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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
