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
At Gomes Estates, Bianca and Sabrina gossip about Aline, as usual. The realtor is leaning against the secretary's desk."So you mean our dear coworker is a man-eater?" Bianca asks maliciously."She must have a personal vendetta against Laura Ferreira." Sabrina replies bitterly, "At the damn birthday party, she tried to snatch the writer Eduardo Casemiro. At his autograph session, she tried to rob the guy we thought was Reginaldo Fabray."Bianca sighs in dismay, "Oh, I wish I had been invited to this party. That way I could tell whether or not it was Reginaldo Fabray. The guy is simply the heir to the Fabray empire, my friend!"Sabrina wiggles, "The younger sister, Natalia Fabray, was at the party and denied the news. The photo that came out in the first article didn't make his face very clear, as he was leaning in to kiss Miss Ferreira."Bianca smiles like a teenager, "Ah, but you could at least see that he had brown hair, a square jaw like a soap opera heartthrob, and a muscular body
Antonio is in his office waiting for Mr. Rosendo for another meeting about Reginaldo. Mr. Rosendo enters with a grim, determined expression."Mr. Rosendo, it seems you are not getting the situation." Antonio goes on speaking bluntly, "I want— in other words, I DEMAND, that you fire Reginaldo Silva.""And under what pretext?" Mr. Rosendo asks calmly.Antonio punches the desk, "I want him out of here immediately! We never needed new employees. My daughter never wanted to get involved in the hotel business; why precisely now does she want to hire someone?"Mr. Rosendo smiles seeing that his thesis was true, "Mr. Ferreira, I don't know how you manage to tell others that you are a father."Antonio is dramatically flabbergasted, and then complains indignantly, "And who are you to talk to me like that?""I am Mr. Rosendo, responsible for those boys who are looking for an opportunity to move up in life." Rosendo passionately declares, "You hired me to take care of the porters and bellboys. Th
Antonio thinks that Mr. Rosendo is doing emotional blackmail by announcing his resignation. After getting up from the floor, he sits down properly in the chair and behaves as if he hadn't just fallen vexingly."You're not serious." He mockingly suggests, "You're not telling me you're going to throw your job away over a mere porter.""If Reginaldo Silva is a mere porter, why do you fear him?" Mr. Rosendo asks boldly.Antonio breaks the cocky grin, "Who's afraid of that asshole? I don't have a problem with him!"Mr. Rosendo sighs, "Mr. Ferreira, I believe you are like this because Reginaldo and your daughter are more than friends. As you pointed out, she was never involved in the hotel's affairs."Antonio grits his teeth, "I won't allow such nonsense.""Then your situation will get worse." Mr. Rosendo retorts, "Firing Reginaldo just because you don't want him around your daughter doesn't qualify as 'just cause'. If Reginaldo files a lawsuit against the hotel in the Labor Court, he'll wi
