Monday, work day. Reginaldo is wearing his porter's uniform in the closet as if the clothes were part of his wardrobe. But the imported brand perfume clashed with the servile look.Laura enters the closet and floats with delight in her hubby's scent, "Excellent choice, honey.""Thank you, my love." Reginaldo lightly kisses the lips of his wife, who was still wearing her pink robe.But when he performs the kiss, Aline's trembling lips come to his memory.Why was she shaking? Nervousness? Shyness?If Reginaldo knew how much Aline has been up to, he would never have kissed her, afraid of catching an STD!However, Laura has not been an exclusive woman either. Weeks ago, she'd had her share of adventures with the mysterious servant.While mulling over which dress to wear, Laura remembers Saturday's incident and resolves to argue with her husband, "Reggie, do you really know where Anestor came from?""Rainbow Garden," Reginaldo answers almost automatically.Laura nods, "I disagree. I think
Aline wakes up fully recovered and refreshed for another day of work. She is smiling and confident that she will triumph this week.At the apartment, Carla is shocked to see her best friend eyeing the coffee maker that was finishing brewing the instant coffee."Aline! Good morning, friend, you are ready for another week of challenges." Carla tries to be as kind as possible.Aline turns to her with a defiant smile, "This week, nothing and no one will stop me."Carla gets goosebumps at Aline's tone of voice, "Oops! What does that mean, friend? Are you going to cause someone or some problems?""I won't cause problems, I'll solve them." Aline turns off the coffee maker and takes the pitcher to the table. Carla sits down and chooses some toast to spread honey on."Could you be more specific?" Carla asks, a little apprehensive.Aline smiles mischievously, "I've been thinking about this Sunday, friend. I've decided not to be a pushover anymore. I'm going to go after what I want.""And what d
Arriving at Gomes Estates, Aline was still telling Carla about her plan to conquer Reginaldo."Do you understand, Carla?""No, I don't understand!" Carla snaps back, "I don't understand how you intend to live in such an unworthy status as a married man's mistress!"Carla had spoken too loudly, drawing Sabrina's attention. She smiles evilly and judges Aline harshly."Well, why am I not surprised?"Aline turns to Sabrina in annoyance, "Good morning to you too.""I always knew you were just a cheap bitch." Sabrina responds in a voice filled with contempt and disgust, "Bianca informed me who you are."Aline's eyes widen, feeling hit in the back, "Don't you girls have better things to do than gossip?""Are we saying gossip?" Sabrina asks acidly, "Or are we talking about facts? I just heard your best friend question your willingness to be a married man's lover!"George enters the company at this point and is shocked by the conversation. He correctly concludes that the married man is Reginal
In Antonio's office, he receives a call from his illegality's partner. Antonio smiles and answers promptly, "Hello?"Eduardo responds excitedly on the other end, "Hello, Tony! It finally happened! She texted me wanting to talk to me!"Antonio grins evilly, "That's excellent, Eddie. Invite her to your apartment, remember she now has a butler who won't be paid by Reggie.""I intend to question her about it, so he can be dismissed." Eduardo narrows his gaze, "If he stays in the Ferreira house, I won't be able to cheat on him with her.""See how our plan worked?" Antonio feels confident, but looks at the door fearing that someone will overhear the conversation, "Laura was jealous and now she wants to go back to the way she was before.""And I was the sensation of the party while they mistook Reggie for Reginaldo Fabray, ha, ha, ha!" Eduardo laughs, "Did you see the mistake that João Paulo Queiroz Rocha posted on his blog?"Antonio is one of those people who are still not used to blogs and
Márcio purposely insinuates that Aline is going to work with Bianca, already knowing that the two women cannot stand together without fighting.Aline's reaction was as expected. The girl gets up foaming with hate like a rabid bitch, "What did you say, Márcio? Me, working with Bianca, that insufferable and snobbish? But never! I'll go alone!"Márcio smiles, satisfied with the maneuver, "I think it will be dangerous for a young lady like you to go out alone to attend to clients."Aline calms down, enjoying the compliment, "Thank you, Márcio, you're a good—" Aline can't say the word 'friend' because she doesn't know where their 'relationship' stands, "But I think they're all servicing clients by themselves. Training is over."Márcio continues to manipulate her, "Yes, but George and I serve clients without Bruno or Sérgio around because we are men. You are another case, we need to protect you from this evil and cruel world."Carla approaches them from behind but freezes her steps when she
Reginaldo is reassured when he sees that the 'errata' on João Paulo's blog convinced the others that he was not the one who was with Laura at Eduardo Casemiro's autograph session. After all, João Paulo was the authority in journalism, who would question him?Joshua picks up his shirt to get dressed, "So, ready for another blessed week of work?""Absolutely, Joshua." Reginaldo smiles more calmly, "When you helped Miss Ferreira get into that party, didn't you see who her escort was?""No, but it sure wasn't you." Joshua takes two steps away and scrutinizes Reginaldo, "Although you would also look stylish with a tuxedo like that."Reginaldo is uncomfortable again and decides not to take any more risks, "OK, let's get to work before Mr. Rosendo—"Too late. Mr. Rosendo enters the staff room. The animated conversation between them ceases in the same second as if they were commenting on something forbidden and profane.Mr. Rosendo looked directly at Reginaldo, "Can we talk in my office, Regi
Marianne is proud that her daughter managed to defeat her enemies at Eduardo's autograph session."Daughter, after this one, I don't think your father will try to make another mess to harm you." She confidently states, "I think he'll understand that you love Reggie."Laura, however, doesn't want to let her guard down, "Did he say that?""Well... not exactly. Maybe if you talk to him..."But Laura looks at her wristwatch, "Later, Mom, I have another appointment. My bank manager wants to offer me some investments with the money you donated to me."Marianne's eyes light up, "How nice, daughter! Hurry up, go talk to him!"Laura lowers her head as she remembers Anestor's suggestion about Mendonça Bank. She needed to get things right with Aline the bitch...She says goodbye to her mother and leaves the office.When passing through the corridors, she finds Reginaldo entering Mr. Rosendo's office and is intrigued by what she saw. Has Reginaldo been discovered? Or did something go wrong?Eduar
At Gomes Estates, Carla and George talk about their friendships and their lives. There are no clients for George to meet, so he takes advantage."So, Carla, how is your best friend's fantastic life?"Carla rolls her eyes in annoyance, "I saw her passively talk to Márcio about him wanting to accompany her to a client of hers."George widens his eyes, "Wasn't it Bianca?""No, she cleverly concealed the fact. She said she wanted to meet the client alone to show that she is capable. But then Márcio came up with another fib.""Which?""Only men can serve customers alone. For Aline, it would be too dangerous for a young lady to be alone."George laughs. Márcio doesn't sleep on the job."And your friend didn't think for a moment that Márcio was hitting on her and looking for an excuse to be alone with her?" he asks happily.As he laughs, Carla gets darker, "I don't know. I don't know if she was dumb enough not to have noticed, or she knew what was going on and played dumb to think Márcio was
