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
At the Ferreira house, Reginaldo is lying on a lounger by the pool, wearing swimming trunks and sunglasses, enjoying the sunny day while Anestor serves him orange juice. Laura is also sitting next to her hubby on another lounge chair, listening to pop music on her cell phone and putting sunscreen on her legs.Anestor hands the vibrating cell phone to Reginaldo, "Someone named Joshua, sir."Reginaldo answers, "Hello, Josh."On the other side, Joshua replies, "Hello, Reggie. Strike information.""Yeah?" Reginaldo smiles gracefully."Fred stopped by the hotel and filmed the mess. Everyone is missing our work. Mrs. Ferreira slapped her crazy husband, looks like we're going to have a divorce."Reginaldo widens his smile, "Send the videos to me.""OK." Joshua hangs up. Afterward, Reginaldo's cell phone vibrates with the videos coming to him.When Reginaldo presses 'play' and watches the videos, Laura also hears people complain, especially her mother.Marianne turns to Antonio and slaps him,
Bruno is checking the sales control of his associates. His smile indicates that the result is positive.However, when clicking on Aline's worksheet......His smile immediately fades!He takes out his cell phone and sends a message, typing feverishly.Moments later, George enters intrigued by the summons, "Yes, Mr. Castelo?""George, didn't Aline sell that house yesterday, before she was robbed?" Bruno asks directly.George's eyes widen, "Sir, everyone was so worried about the robbery she and Márcio suffered that no one stopped to ask about the sale."Bruno narrows his eyes, "Yesterday, Márcio replied that he had no client to meet and had decided to accompany her. He didn't tell me either, and I didn't ask him either."George nods nervously, "If you don't have anything else, sir, I'm going to withdraw.""Go, George."George hastily withdraws.As soon as he goes to the reception, George sees Márcio enter and pulls him by the sleeve of his plaid shirt, "Let's go to Carla's office!""Agai
Aline can no longer hide why she showed up all messed up at Gomes Estates with Márcio. She lets go of Carla and starts crying pathetically.Carla snorts, not sure if she feels like Aline's friend or mother, "Okay, stop crying and tell me the truth.""OK." Aline sniffs, "Márcio and I had sex in the house the client wanted to buy. She caught us and created the biggest scandal! That's why Márcio and I showed up like that, looking like we were attacked by men."Carla's eyes widen as if they're about to pop out of their sockets, "Was it a WOMAN that caused all this?""She was an old lady, but she had a heavy bag!" Aline complains, "She grabbed my hair and slapped me. She kicked Márcio between his legs. She cussed us with countless bad words. It was a nightmare, friend!"Aline opens her arms, but Carla refuses to hug her, "No, Aline, don't come and want my support on this! I should have stopped you two."Aline is indignant, "It wasn't up to you to allow it or prevent it.""Now I need to exp
