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
At Gomes Estates, Bruno intercepts Márcio leaving to meet a client."Márcio, do you know if Aline comes to work?"Márcio is shocked by the question, "Huh? I don't know her professional schedule, sir."Bruno replies wryly, "Oh, I forgot. She's just your sex doll. I thought she was your friend."Márcio gets angry and scowls, "When Mr. Silva offered me this job, I didn't think I would have to reveal my personal life.""It was you who wanted to inform me of this ignominy." Bruno extends his index finger, "And there's more: I also don't believe that Mr. Silva recommended you to have intercourse with my collaborators.""Is there a law that prohibits realtors from dating?" Márcio asks mockingly."Not exactly, but in your case, we can't even call it a 'relationship,' can we?" Bruno blinks evilly and walks away.Márcio stomps and finds George in the entrance room, getting a cup of water from the drinking fountain."They really want to control my intimate life!" Márcio grumbles."Mr. Castelo?"
Aline enters Gomes Estates and is approached by George before she says 'good morning' to someone. Sabrina is at her secretary's post and smiles sarcastically at her enemy."Aline, we urgently need to talk about yesterday." He pulls her to the corner."We have nothing to talk about." She shrugs, "I'm better, ready to work again."George smiles wryly, "So can I join you this time?""NO!" Aline screams in panic.Sabrina wiggles contemptuously. Aline and George are supposed to talk in low tones, but the secretary hears the entire conversation.George scrutinizes Aline with his eyes and captures her entire body reaction. Aline is shaking, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, "Don't freak out, Aline. Márcio told me the whole truth."Aline's eyes were watery, "I swear, George, I didn't mean to do anything bad!"George wrinkles his nose, and then continues, "What did you expect? The client walked into the house and found you getting tangled with Márcio in the bedroom that was supposed to be h
