Inside the lively Happy Snack Bar, Cindy and Jackson step into the establishment, greeted by a cheerful atmosphere. Waiters hustle around, jotting down orders or delivering dishes. From a distance, Clayton spots the couple and signals for Jackson to join him at the cash register.

“Jackson! Get over here!” Clayton calls out, and Jackson points to a table, instructing Cindy to go ahead while he places the order.

As Cindy heads to a reserved table, giggling, she asks, “Are you staying here afterward?”

Jackson replies with a gallant demeanor, “Well, I’m the manager here, my dear. Remember, I got promoted.”

Cindy teases, “You goof...” and takes her seat, picking up the menu.

She asks when she reads it, “Can we just have a regular burger and orange juice tonight?”

“Oh, I’ll have a panini with extra cheesy and a side of fries.” He pats his toned belly, “I’ve earned that privilege.”

Cindy licks her lips and bites her lower lip. She definitely can’t contain herself!

At the cash register, Jacks

    In the Happy Snack Bar at night, Cindy feels increasingly cornered, compelled to confess the truth to Jackson. Forced to eat a burger filled with unwanted options, she makes up her mind.Jackson laughs, “Look at that cheese stretching!”Cindy swallows unwillingly, “Jackson, enough with the clowning around! Pay attention to the truth!”Jackson immediately stops laughing. “What truth?”“The one you conveniently hid from me.” Cindy poetized.“Cindy, if you’re going to talk to me using journalist jargon, forget it. Those conversations should be held with Ricardo Montegrande, your ex-boyfriend.”“Forget him; he’s sleeping with Marilza Peres. But I’m suspecting him too,” Cindy says, determined to make Jackson listen, “I always believed there was a conspiracy for me to be defeated and force Matt to choose Patty.”Jackson regrets questioning her. “You’re right; we don’t need to talk about this.”Cindy declares while smiling ironically, “Hey, it’s over! Too late, buddy! You asked for it; now y

    Wednesday. At Sterling Mansion, Matthew woke up and headed straight to the bathroom for a shower and grooming, leaving Patricia sleeping. Upon waking up, Patricia noticed the empty spot where Matthew had slept.The sound of the shower caught Patricia’s attention, and she smiled, imagining her handsome boyfriend in the shower. She briefly considered joining him but hesitated when her phone ominously rang.Answering the call, leaning against the bed’s headboard, Patricia greeted, “Hello, Jackson?”On the other end, Jackson, sitting on the bed in his boxer shorts, appeared wide awake and deeply concerned.“Hey, sis. I need to talk to you about what happened,” Jackson began.Patricia tried to guess, disappointed, “Don’t tell me: you went out with Cindy. I know. Any man would lose interest in that dull girl.”“It wasn’t just about that it didn’t go as I expected. Patty... Cindy figured out the truth,” Jackson revealed.“What truth?” Patricia asked, growing increasingly concerned.“That I s

    In the Sterling Mansion library, Abner stood by the door. His expression was serious as he examined it. Alice, lost in thought, perused one of the bookshelves nearby.“D’you notice anything different about the door, darling?” Abner queried.Alice glanced over. “What do you mean, dear?”“It looks like it’s been kicked. And it’s not closing properly,” Abner remarked, giving the door a test push which confirmed his suspicion of loose hinges.Turning to face him, Alice frowned. “That’s odd. It seemed fine to me.”“Matt was here yesterday. Must’ve heard some bad news,” Abner speculated, a sly grin forming.“What news could he have heard?” Alice inquired.“Maybe he got wind that Jasmine was scheming an escape from her punishment. But according to Leonardo...”Abner’s phone rang, vibrating loudly on the desk. His smile widened upon seeing Fernando’s name and he answered promptly.“Hello, Fernando?”On the other end, Fernando, from his office at Silva Oil Company, relayed information to Abner

Clay hasn’t shown up yet, huh?” Walter asks, trying to engage his friend.Matthew’s expression remains serious as he replies, “No, he hasn’t. But I’m not here for snacks. In fact, I don’t have much of an appetite.”“Wow, big mystery... What’s going on?” Walter inquires, sensing the gravity of the situation.“Take a seat, man,” Matthew gestures, indicating the empty chair opposite him.Walter obliges, feeling that Matthew is troubled by something significant.“Tell me, my friend. What’s happened?” Walter’s concern is evident.“I’ve made a startling discovery. It seems Patty orchestrated some maneuvers to win me over,” Matthew reveals with a tone heavy with disappointment.“I always told you she had feelings for you, man. It’s natural for her to make a move, especially since Cindy di

Come at me, don’t bother Matt!”The university students watch in astonishment as Patricia displays a newfound courage.Surprised by Patricia’s boldness, David responds, “Patty, what are you talking about?

    Elaine and Liz continued to discuss their plan. “Did you expect to achieve something after falling onto the coffee table?” Liz asked. Elaine stood up and went to a table where a thermos was placed. While pouring two cups, she replied, “I need to confess something. The whole thing was my idea.” Liz’s eyes widened. “You... planned to fall onto my coffee table?” “It all happened so fast, more of an impulse than a plan,” Elaine responded, approaching her friend with the cups. Liz picked one of the cups, replying, “You were being pulled by the hair by Patricia, caught a glimpse of the coffee table, and decided to throw yourself onto it so that I would think it was Patricia who maliciously threw you onto it. That way, my reaction of horror and outrage would be genuine.” “Exactly, girl. That’s why I winked at you to calm down.” Elaine sat back down, balancing her cup in her left hand. “Elaine, you took a huge risk!” Liz was flabbergasted. “You could have hurt yourself badly, bleed to

I wanted to visit you on Sunday, but I was busy.” Liz pulled out a chair and sat down. “That’s alright. I was discharged; it wasn’t anything serious.” Elaine winked. “Are you sure, friend?” Liz decided to take a chance and asked, “It seemed like I saw you wink at me...” “Yes, I was fine. You were so desperate, thinking I was going to bleed to death.” Elaine was carefree. “That’s what I thought.” Liz calmed down. “Still, I made sure to cause the biggest scene in the clinic’s lobby, blaming Patty for everything.” “And did it work?” Elaine’s eyes sparkled. “Not exactly.” Liz shook her head. “Our husbands showed up and killed my buzz.” Elaine’s excitement faded. “As always, Matt defending that shameless trou

    Silva Oil Company, Ronaldo’s office, around ten in the morning. Jackson explains to Ronaldo why Gustavo might not be suitable to be a model. “Gustavo is trying too hard, insisting too much, being inappropriate. That’s not how things work,” Jackson said with authority. “Take my case: I NEVER thought about being famous. All I wanted was to stay in my corner, posting my routine on social media. The thing is, people who make things happen discovered me, prepared me, and the rest you already know.” “I get it. When it’s meant to happen, it will happen. No rush, no anxiety – and without being a pain in the neck,” Ronaldo laughed. “Did he happen to approach you again?” “Patty ended up talking about Vasconcelos Fabrics, and he had that gleam in his eyes as if we had already made plans!” Jackson exclaimed, exasperated. Ronaldo lost some of his excitement. “Jackson, do you suspect that this Gustavo is getting too close to my fiancée?” “The guy really thinks he’s the best thing since sliced

You just had a seizure and looked like you were going to die in my company,” Leonardo gestured for the employee to sit down. “Now I want to know all the details. Don’t hide anything from this curious old man.” Kirk smiled and sat down. “Well, sir, there’s not much to tell. I was stupid enough to fall for the siren’s song.” “In this case, the cocaine song, right?” Leonardo leaned forward. “What do you intend to do from here on out?” “Obviously, I promised myself and my family that I wouldn’t use that cr*p anymore. It wasn’t worth all the drama and suffering,” Kirk replied honestly. “That’s good. Then you can continue from where you left off,” Leonardo smiled, relieved. “That’s about what I w

A smile formed at the right corner of her mouth. “Cool... nothing so blatantly accusatory, but clear enough for any semi-literate person to understand that Elaine knocked over that pyramid of champagne glasses, causing a scene at the book signing.” “Of course, I won’t say she did it because the honored author was her enemy’s mother,” Cindy replied mischievously. “You don’t want to risk Matt’s wrath.” Andreia stood up, a bit slowly due to her pregnancy. “Speaking of which, how did he react after your dad’s video?” “I didn’t bring it up with him,” Cindy shook her head. “If I mention it, people will say I still love him.” “And you don’t want to do anything to ruin your relationship with Jackson,” Andreia repeated. “Cindy, it’s commendable that you’re more committed and focused on having someone in

What’s new?” Ronaldo replied rudely, “The news is seeing my mother still able to walk!” “RON!” Liz was startled. Fernando shook his head. “Son, don’t be disrespectful. Your mother and I are trying to be as discreet as possible.” Ronaldo shot back, “Just missing discretion when discussing my fiancée, huh? Can we talk about that now?” Liz pursed her lips. “I was so happy when I woke up, but you made sure to ruin my day.” “Mom, we can’t avoid the obvious!” Ronaldo turned to Fernando. “Matt told me that Elaine was reprimanded.” “And I will never agree to that!” Liz shouted. “Elaine was a victim of that tough girl from the slums! She could have died from a cut to her jugular!” “But Elaine provoked Patty’s wrath by saying those nasty things,” Fernando reasoned as he served himself breakfast. “Couldn’t Patricia a

    Silva Penthouse, Monday morning. Ronaldo was walking down the hallway to the kitchen in just his boxer shorts when the suite door opened. Liz was smiling a little too much, looking like she was about to dance ballet. “Mom! Long time no see!” “Yes, son, I had a wonderful time with your father!” Liz replied suggestively. Ronaldo blushed to the roots of his hair. “Is breakfast ready?” she asked casually. “I was about to check,” Ronaldo said, heading to the kitchen. There, the coffee maker was already brewing coffee. “Nando must have prepared it in advance.” Liz took bread and butter from the fridge. Ronaldo, cautious, sat down at the table. He noticed a tear in Liz’s nightgown. “Mom, did you and Dad make up this Sunday?” “We can say he’s no longer in love with your fiancée,” Liz replied with a mischievous smile. “Mom, stop talking about that disgusting stuff!” Ronaldo frowned. “This is all your sick imagination.” Liz simply shrugged, sitting down at the table as well. “You’r

But when she realized Elaine was going to walk past her, Nayla called out loudly, “ELAINE?” Elaine stopped suddenly and looked at her friend. “Oh, Nayla, I’m sorry...” “Don’t worry. I know you must be going through a lot of pressure.” Nayla stood up. “I really am. But I always have time for my friends.” Elaine smiled and approached, trying to distract her mind. “I wanted to know if there are any openings here at Golden Letters for my brother.” Nayla asked respectfully. Elaine’s smile vanished with the wind. As Nayla’s boss, she knew who the brother was. “Nayla, we’re friends, but you know I have a strong opinion against drug use and sales.” Elaine replied in a boss t
