Anestor is taken by surprise and shows genuine discomfort with Antonio's refusal.Is he not going to employ him as a porter?Did Antonio discover the hoax?After seeing the former butler looking worried, Antonio chuckles, "I intend to give you another role, my friend!"Anestor relieves himself on the inside, but on the outside, he continues with a puzzled face, "I don't quite understand, sir."Antonio adjusts himself in the presidential chair, "Here's the thing, my friend: just by looking at you, I can already see that you have a way, an aura, of someone who is not in this world to do small things. I won't forget that you saved my daughter from being kidnapped. Therefore, you deserve much more than being a porter or valet at my hotel."Anestor even thanks him for the compliment, but that's not what he came for, "Ehr... So you don't have a job for me."Antonio gets up, good-natured, "Who said such a thing? No... I was thinking: don't you want to be my assistant?""Your assistant?" Anes
Márcio is surprised by Reginaldo's questioning about the possibility of Aline getting pregnant. Looks like the realtor skipped high school biology classes!And Reginaldo just needs to laugh at the realtor's lack of understanding, "Is this serious, Márcio? Have you ever thought about the possibility of impregnating a girl you don't even consider a friend?""No, we never talk about anything!" Márcio reluctantly admits, "We just get tangled in her room until daybreak.""You two are crazy!" Reginaldo is exasperated, "That's why I demand maximum concentration from both of you in this company. Bruno Castelo will be closer to you from now on."Márcio still tries to evade his mission with excuses, "Wait, Mr. Silva, you have every right to deal with me regarding my job, but about my personal life—""Your personal life is getting in the way of your colleague's performance, and that's in my interest!" Reginaldo punches the desk, completely losing his patience.Yes, we can say that Reginaldo is j
George scratches the back of his head, chuckling more, "He, he, you're right, Reggie. We're rational animals.""I hope to be in front of rational people." Reginaldo gets up, "Let's see if Aline has arrived."George gets up with slight fear, "Man, you really want Aline to be here. Didn't Márcio tell you he got rough with her again?""Yes, but I told you this bullshit shall end." Reginaldo growls, "It looks like Aline does it on purpose: she copulates in a barbaric way so she can avoid coming to work the next day."George even tried, but couldn't hold back his laughter.******Meanwhile, Bruno is already in the building where Aline lives, banging on her door as if he were the police. Eduardo appears in the hallway, sweaty and wearing gym shorts, returning from another jog on the beach promenade."Good morning! We've seen each other before." Eduardo greets him, "Aren't you knocking on the wrong door?""No." Bruno's answer is dry.Eduardo smiles mischievously, "Then it's my duty to inform
Reginaldo returns Downtown and finds himself in the legendary Crystal Blue. The famous first-class restaurant continues to this day under the command of the Mountain family.The place has undergone incredible renovations, and the former aristocratic and European look has given way to the modern look. The chairs and tables were replaced and the room was painted in a clever combination of white and various shades of blue.Reginaldo finally meets his mother. Sylvia hugs her son so passionately that the surrounding customers notice and got moved."Son, how much I missed you!" She exclaims, "Don't ever do that again, huh?""OK, Mom, forgive me for disappearing." Reginaldo replies, "And sorry for the inconvenience."The hug is undone."What trouble?" Sylvia shrugs, very happy, "Are you talking about your resignation?""Yes. But let's sit down." Reginaldo points to the reserved table.Bartolomeo looks around, "I've been here a long time. They've been renovating."Reginaldo hands them the men
Sabrina and Bianca return from lunch laughing and joking like they were in high school."So, Bianca, how was Aline's ex-client?" Sabrina asks, "When she called, she was really mad and I had to hear some swearing like it was my fault."Bianca wrinkles her nose with contempt, "I plan to talk to Bruno right away. Aline needs to be let go!"Bianca walks furiously and bursts into Bruno's office as he takes a nap in his chair."Bruno, WAKE UP! We need to solve this fire!"Bruno woke up startled, but not enough to lose his balance and fall, "What fire are you talking about?""I'm talking about the big problem that Aline submitted to us." Bianca complains, "I'm sorry, Bruno, I know you like her friend, but we need to think about the well-being of the company."At this moment, the door opens and Márcio and George enter."What is this talk about thinking about the well-being of the company?" George questions Bianca, "Every time I hear that someone is unfairly sacrificed."Bianca turns to George
Reginaldo and his parents talk in George's loft that was once his too. Everyone is seated in the chairs at the dining table.Sylvia looks around, "Son, how did you manage to live in these conditions? From here I can see a crack.""The whole building doesn't feel safe to me." Bartolomeo watches.Reginaldo smiles, "That's why the price was cheap. Anyway, now I'm in a house that looks more like a mansion."Sylvia smiles, "And why don't we go there? I wanted to meet your wife.""It's just that I told her my parents died." Reginaldo scratches his head, "Besides, you and my father are much better known than I am. If Laura sees you two, she's sure to recognize you.""And we already had that report by Mr. Queiroz Rocha almost revealing your identity." Bartolomeo adds, "I'm glad Natalia acted in time."Reginaldo wants to touch on another urgent matter, "Dad, how are things at headquarters?""As I said, Henry thinks he's the rightful heir to my company." Bartolomeo grumbles, "But I never gave h
Aline starts to think about the issue of her having too much jewelry on her dressing table and dressers.That's not exactly true. Since Aline abandoned her parents, she has been living on her own.Her parents canceled their credit cards and Aline never bothered to have a bank account, unlike Laura.So, everything she bought when she started working as a realtor was paid in cash.But when she saw the silver bracelet, something inside her changed. Aline missed the time when she splurged on jewelry, bags, shoes, and international brand clothes, all without worrying about paying.Now she was acting like a proletarian, helping her best friend pay the end-of-the-month bills. What the hell is this?No! Eduardo showed up to remind her that her life is one of spending and partying!So she smiles widely as she puts the bracelet on her right wrist, "Thank you so much, Eddie. You really appreciated me."Eduardo, in the lynx's pounce, gets off the couch and falls to his knees in front of her, "Tha
Weeks passed after Aline chose a maniac over honestly working as a realtor. With that, Gomes Estates enjoyed relative peace in business.Reginaldo started to focus even more on the business, encouraging the sales team to focus and win. Sales targets were set with promises of prizes for the winners. Two more people were hired to compensate for Aline's departure.When Reginaldo requested a meeting with the new team, Carla didn't know how to keep her mouth closed. That popsicle vendor now stood before her wearing a graphite suit and tie, well-shined shoes, and a serious, professional haircut.George knew that Reginaldo didn't want to fuss over him, and he prepared to put a cork in Carla's mouth as soon as she came up with the questions."Here's the thing, guys." Reginaldo begins the meeting, "We urgently need to improve our reputation. The last catastrophic event involving two realtors here getting involved in rampant conduct almost cost us the permanence of the company. Upon learning th
