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
Cássio lets go of his crazy cousin and walks away through the corridors, "But how did you know that Uncle Bart was going to eat chocolates just now?""I just walked through the half-open door, hence my exasperation!" Henry barks, "Do you know what that means, Cássio?""That they already know it was you who brought those poisoned chocolates," Cássio responds in regret. Soon the police will appear to arrest them!Back in Henry's office, he kicks the desk. The computer monitor wobbles and would fall if Cássio didn't catch it in time."Now we're lost, cousin!" Cássio whimpers, "It's only a matter of time before the police show up. Probably the meeting will be just to unmask us!"The tables are turned: Cássio becomes the hysteric and Henry becomes the bright, calm mind of the plan.He closes the door so no one can eavesdrop on the conversation, "Calm down, Cássio, all is not lost.""Of course it is. And with that headline confusing Laura Ferreira's boyfriend with Reggie, it just makes me t
In the meeting room, Bartolomeo appears before everyone else and hurries into the presidential chair before Henry dares to sit in it. If anyone had seen him, they would have laughed at the president of Fabray Network."It's my chair, MINE!" Bartolomeo grumbles like he's a stubborn child, "And when Reggie finishes his revenge, it will be his chair."Natalia and Matias are the next ones to arrive. Matias is surprised to see his wife hand him one candy."Honey, I thought chocolate was off-limits for the father-in-law." He jokes.Natalia winks mischievously, "Eat right before Henry sees you."Too late. While Matias is still unwrapping the candy, Henry enters the meeting room like a hurricane and his eagle gaze goes straight to Matias's hands."What is this joke here?!" He asks so furiously that his voice sounds like falsetto.Bartolomeo has fun with his destabilized nephew, "What's up, Henry? I'm the one on a diet, not Matias.""I hope you're not eating in secret!" Henry was going to sit
The meeting ended, and with it, the patience of Henry and Cássio. They run away like naughty children, without saying goodbye to the others.Danielle is the only one who doesn't understand the candy part, "Why did Henry almost have a stroke when he saw you eating the candy, Mr. Fabray?""Don't worry about that jerk, Danielle." Bartolomeo kindly responds, "I want to congratulate you once again for taking first place this month."Danielle smiles gratefully. She hoped she would get over Henry this month, "Just doing my job sir. Excuse me, I want to let my team know to celebrate!"Natalia and Matias greet Danielle without rancor. The winner of the month retires elated.Natalia closes the door and turns to her father, "What now, Dad? Shall we call the police?""Police?" Bartolomeo chuckles, "That would be too easy for them. In the old days, people like Henry and Cássio were buried alive in the sand on the beach and left behind."Matias is startled by his father-in-law's sinister tone, "Is
