"I heard you finally got married." Romualdo tries to be pleasant as he stamps the forms, "My congratulations."
"Yes, and we're honeymooning at Sunset Village," Uélton responds in a childish tone.
Romualdo is about to stamp another page, but his hand remains in the air. He looks at the Chief Electrician in astonishment.
"Uélton, our company pays you an excellent salary. Stop clowning and book airline tickets to Cancun."
"And is Sunset Village by any chance a poor area?" Uélton chuckles, "I've been researching, Mr. Silva. My wife found an excellent inn and was enchanted by the advertisement. She saw it in Maggiezine when she was reading my mother's story."
"My wife also follows your mother's story." Romualdo adds, "She says that reading one chapter at a time makes her think she's reading a written te

William and Josias entered.“Good morning, everyone! Why do you look like you just came from a funeral?”Josias was surprised by the reception. “Aren’t you worried about the terrible repercussions my brother’s article is causing at Vaztrans?”William asked anxiously, “Have the employees already called for a strike?”Sofia, winking, stopped typing and stood up. “No. They’re eager for their bonuses.”Josias frowned, temporarily confused. “Wait, I thought Suzy had blocked any raises or bonuses for the employees.”Sofia defiantly lifted her chin. “But who does Suzy think she is?

Suzy’s boyfriend found her a bundle of nerves, sitting on the sofa as if she were in some withdrawal crisis. “DEAR!” Felipe rushed to the sofa, sat down, and hugged her tightly. “What have they done to you...” “A tragedy, Felipe.” Eugenio sighed. “They just won’t leave my niece alone.” “Well, there’s a simple word to solve this: LAWSUIT!” Felipe shouted, but his loud voice didn’t bother Suzy. “Jake left here saying João Paulo is in love with her. Does that make sense?” Eugenio scratched his neck. Felipe’s eyes were on fire. “Maybe. That big horse has too much virility, and having just one wife isn’t enough. He needs to relieve himself with other bitches — but not my Suzy!” Felipe’s protective demeanor calmed Suzy down. Not all men are worthless — there are those who are good for dating and marrying. Eugenio realized that. “Look, she’s getting better. Suzy, do you want to go down and have breakfast at Café Montanha?” Only

Jake pushed Suzy aside and grabbed the newspaper. Despite her footprints, he managed to see the news. The published photo of Suzy did not do her beauty justice, as if the photographer had been hiding and took the picture without her knowing. “He’s in love with you, sis.” Jake crumpled the newspaper with both hands. “That’s t

At the Borges family home, Leonardo was chatting with his father during a break from work. Renan raised his eyebrows as Leonardo recounted what Reynaldo had discovered. “A girl whose parents worked for Josias in the ‘80s?” “Yes, and she insisted on introducing herself by her full name as if she took great pride in it: Sarah Paes.” Renan’s eyes lit up. “It can’t be possible. There was one of the henchmen, my old boss’s right-hand man... Ernesto Paes. After Josias killed him, Ernesto switched sides and became the butler... when I tried to take down Josias, I think he was already married...” “So there’s no doubt, Dad.” Leonardo was excited. “She’s the daughter of that traitor.” “And she’s been in contact with Josias, it seems.” Renan smiled, rubbing his hands together. “We need to find a way to get close to her.” “The guys at the café might have information for us.” Leonardo sat down on the couch. “Alright, I’ll leave this in your hands, or Reynaldo’s, since he’s the one who hear

I want to celebrate this achievement by doing something nice for our hardworking employees.” “That’s right, Mrs. Campos Rocha!” The employees cheered.

What are we going to do?” “Most likely, Josias Rocha knows too.” Reynaldo sighed, discouraged. “As our father said, we need to wait for the dust to settle before we act again.” “We need to make you the majority partner.” Leonardo asserted. “Leo, sometimes I’d prefer if you stayed out of this.” Reynaldo admitted from the bottom of his heart. “You have a career as a lawyer that precedes you. If things get worse, if you’re exposed, not only would you be fired from Damascene Lawyers – no agency would have the guts to hire you.” Leonardo smiled and patted his brother’s right shoulder. “Don’t worry about me.
