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
Bruno is disconcerted when Márcio tells him straight up that he has relations with Aline without the slightest emotional bond.He wiggles and scolds the realtor, "Márcio, you spoke in such a way... Are you dating Aline?""No, we just have sex without commitment and responsibility," Márcio answers indifferently."How horrible!" Bruno is shocked, forgetting that he does the same with Sabrina, "Aline always seemed like an honest and decent girl."Márcio smiles depraved, "She's an airhead. I can do whatever I want with her. She didn't show the slightest impediment in my proposal to accompany her."Bruno expresses distrust in his eyes, "So we can say that your accompanying Aline was a good thing, huh? You were close to her when you guys were mugged.""Yes sir." Márcio nods."Now I want to talk to Aline." Bruno crosses his arms."Sir, she left with Carla. The two went to record a video for her vlog." Márcio continues to speak in a flat, cold voice.Bruno's eyes widen, "What? What about the
The next day, Laura is intrigued looking at the same cell phone, sitting on the bed, and wearing a lavender nightgown.Reginaldo came from the shower, and when he went to the closet, he spots his wife, "What is it, dear?"Laura was about to reply, but she smiles and bites her bottom lip at the sight of her hubby in his towel wrapped around his waist, "I was intrigued, but now you've brightened my day."Reginaldo laughs, "That didn't answer my question."Laura sighs, thinking that she was going to get rid of the subject, "Okay... It's this article by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha. It seems he doesn't want to give up.""Give up what?" Reginaldo approaches her and takes her cell phone.He reads the article in the online newspaper column, "If Laura Ferreira's new friend wasn't Reginaldo Fabray, who was him?"Reginaldo is dissatisfied. João Paulo is the son of the late journalist Vernon Queiroz, known for being a pain in the neck, insistent, inconvenient, and tireless in digging deep into anyth
