2022-01-12 18:39:51The next day, Josias finds William wearing a navy blue suit and sitting at the table in the dining room. The two gentlemen exchange glances, the first with surprise and the second with confidence.
"Good morning, brother-in-law!" William greets him, "Surprised to see me in dress clothes?"
"I confess you looked very good in this suit." Josias pulls the chair from the end of the table and sits down.
"I'm so excited to get started!" William rubs his hands together, "What exactly am I going to do?"
"You're going to take a lot of calls, for starting." Josias smiles patiently, "When I'm away, maybe some supplier will call me. For now, you'll just take messages, but in time I want to teach you more details of what I do."
William narrows his eyes, "I don't have any technical engineering degrees like you do."
"I'll teach you enough so you don't have to." Josias widens his smile, "But if you want to do it anyway, it will be an extra asset on your resum

At Uélton's apartment, Flávia is putting on Reuben's shoes to go to the Freire grandparents' house. Reuben is well behaved on the couch in the living room. The radio is playing "Groove Is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite. Uélton is in a corner of the living room, organizing the tools in the box to go to work. "Do you understand, dear? Don't let that evil Mr. Queiroz intimidate my holy mother if he doesn't want me to bang a pipe wrench in his head." Uélton remembers her. Flavia smiles, "It won't take such violence, my dear. Let's use all feminine grace, like Empress Sissi." Uélton smiles and hugs his wife, "That's why God created women. If the world were just for men, everyone would be killing themselves." Flávia feels strange with this: so why is Uélton expressing the savagery of wanting to kill Vernon with a pipe wrench? Reuben stands up, "I'm ready, Mom!" Uélton smiles at his son, "So, son?

Tiago informs him, "You have to worry about leadership, in guiding Rocha Constructions to bigger flights."Josias smiles thinking about the future, "Yes, you're right...""So, will we have more hiring?" Tiago asks."I want to hire my aunt to help me in the Human Resources department. As you said, I must delegate certain tasks to those who understand the subject.""Wasn't your aunt working at Gomes Real Estate?"Josias nods and walks to the presidential chair, "Yes, but she resigned, knowing I would call her here.

Josias faces Vânia, "Aunt?" "No, thank you." Vania thanks her. Carmen nods and closes the living room door. Josias analyzes Vânia's appearance: slightly wavy hair, no longer that pygmalion hairstyle; terracotta pantsuit and matching skirt with a white blouse underneath. Whoever looks at her like that wouldn't say that Vânia is a resident of Happiness Slum. "Aunt Vânia, I'm happy to be able to help the family by offering interesting hires. And I'm also happy to be able to help you." "I'm listening, nephew." Vanya nods, smiling. "Would you be interested in helping me with the hiring of employees? Do you understand the subject?"

Josias returns to his office to find William sitting in the chair with his feet on the desk, listening carelessly to Mc Hammer's song "U Can't Touch This" on the walkman. "Will! What is this loose posture in the workplace?" William is terrified. He tries to straighten up in his chair and almost drops the walkman. "Ehr... sorry Josias, but we didn't have any call." Josias smiles, "OK, take it easy. I don't want to be the rigid and authoritarian boss, but you need attention and good behavior. Maybe Tiago or Igor doesn't like to see you like that." William nods like a puppy. Josias continues to speak, "I'm going to talk to your father at the residential complex. Tiago has brought to my attention something important: I won't be able to stay in this room all the time." William stands up, getting the message, "Got it. You now have to stay in the presidential room." "So I'm going to have to hire someone else to help you..."

The next day, Dora serves breakfast for Simeon and Carlos. She places the thermos with the coffee that fills the kitchen with a delicious aroma. "This coffee has a more appetizing aroma than the others, son." Carlos comments. "It's just that I bought a brand new one, Dad," Simeon responds proudly. Dora sits down and grabs a loaf of bread to spread butter, "I know, a more expensive brand, the kind Melissa buys. Watch out my love, don't blow your credit cards." "I'm happy and wanted to celebrate," Simeon responds. Dora seizes the occasion, "So I wanted to ask you something, honey: Melissa asked me to help her clean the penthouse.

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,

At the General Hospital, Diane was causing a scene in the hallway while Felipe was being treated in one of the rooms. “What is happening? Someone please give me answers!!” Matthew approached the desperate woman. “Mrs. Mountain, we ask for your calm. Your son is not in life-threatening condition.” “He should never have been in this situation to begin with!” Diane shouted. Eugenio approached. “Mrs. Mountain, we’re very sorry. I tried to call Suzy, but she is at an appointment with Cardozo Perfumes.” “Why is she at my brother-in-law’s company? More investments?” Diane was taken aback. “Perhaps,” Eugenio narrowed his eyes. “She didn’t tell me exactly what she intended to do.” “Oh, this situation is killing me. Doctor, how is he?” “He is sleeping under the effect of sedatives. We are waiting for a room to become available to conduct some tests to understand why he isn’t waking up,” Matthew informed her. “Well, if my boy isn’t going to wake up for now, I need to reach my husband.

At the Rocha Hotel, Luís couldn’t stand being called “Spanish Stallion” for the umpteenth time and gave Felipe the biggest beating he had ever received in his life. However, Eugenio was not in favor of violence and quickly called using his desk phone. “Security, there’s a fight happening in my office!” Eugenio’s euphoric voice jolted Luís out of his trance. When he came to, Felipe was unconscious, with a bleeding nose and cuts on his face. “LUÍS, look what you’ve done!” Eugenio panicked. “How am I going to defend you from this?” “I couldn’t control myself, Eugenio! You know how much I hate that nickname!” Luís shouted passionately. “It doesn’t matter! If you can’t keep your self-control, you’re going to get into serious trouble like right now!” Eugenio pushed Luís away from Felipe as he spoke. He knelt down and checked Felipe’s vital signs by holding his wrist. “At least he’s STILL alive,” Eugenio said sarcastically. The security team arrived in record time. “Here we are, ma

At Crystal Blue, the restaurant was still closed, but Suzy was there at the bar, having a drink in celebration. Diane was the one who prepared two shots, both toasting. “A toast to success and personal fulfillment, my future daughter-in-law!” They both drank. Suzy took a deep breath. “What a relief! It’s so good to be victorious!” “It really is a wonderful feeling.” Diane nodded. “Now, do you think the annoying people will finally leave you alone?” “No, of course not! It seems the war is going to intensify even more.” Suzy replied excitedly. “And you are confident that you can fight, win?” “Of course! I have the truth on my side.” Suzy took another sip. “It all started with Sofia discussing salary increases in front of the employees.” “I feel like she did that on purpose, huh?” Diane raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Yes, I see it that way, too, after thinking it through. What a coincidence that Sofia heated up the discussion just as I showed up warning against making too ma
