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
The next day, Reginaldo wakes up to George's information hammering into his head. "You need to get rid of Márcio." Is the danger really that great?When Reginaldo met Márcio, he was a noble and humble young man who didn't act with prejudice when selling that navy blue tuxedo that amazed countless people at Eduardo's autograph session. Reginaldo rewarded him with an opportunity to work at Gomes Estates for believing in his potential.However, months have passed, and Márcio has revealed himself to be someone else. Instead of focusing on selling real estate, Márcio just wants to sleep with Aline, having sex in such a brutal and heavy way that it almost goes beyond the line of rape.And Aline? The one who promised to be a more responsible and different woman, despised the opportunity given by Reginaldo, preferring to lose her ability to walk by submitting to the same animalistic and unhealthy sex. And the worst: she is not satisfied with one guy.Reginaldo looks at Laura sleeping peaceful
Reginaldo and Laura are in the kitchen having breakfast."Darling, do you think the salary you get from sales could pay for a maid?" Laura asks sweetly.Reginaldo needs to remember that he is disguising himself as a real estate agent. He takes a few seconds to respond, "Oh, yeah, sure, I forgot about that, he, he, he!"Laura smiles at him, "I'm asking because sooner or later Anestor will have to move out of here. He's not taking care of the housework anymore."Reginaldo nods, "And he better leave before your father finds out he still lives here and gets suspicious."Laura agrees, but inside she has another motive.If Anestor lives elsewhere, she can repeat the hours of adultery with him without feeling guilty about cheating on Reggie in their house!"Alright, honey, you can post an ad or look for an agency." Reginaldo finishes eating and gets up, "I have to go, I have to—""Reggie, what do you know about Eduardo and Aline Mendonça?" Laura asks brusquely.Reginaldo narrows his gaze. Wh
