Laura couldn't believe that she was being forcefully kissed by the one who claimed to love and respect her. Eduardo lost all moral brakes!When she was trying hard to kick Eduardo between the legs, they both heard someone's footsteps coming up the stairs.Eduardo interrupts the intrusive kiss and walks away as if Laura was the wrong one in the story.Laura is glaring at the pervert and wiping her mouth in disgust.Footsteps are coming. They don't know who arrived.A middle-aged man with the appearance of someone extremely powerful banged the door of Aline's apartment sternly.Laura smiles in defiance at Eduardo. Now it was time for her to know whether or not Aline was in his bed.The man in the suit gestured to one of the bodyguard-like employees.Predicting that the brute is going to break down Aline's door, Eduardo steps forward, "Hey, hey! Don't do that, you crazy people! The vlogger isn't there!"The powerful man turns to Eduardo as if he were an insect and yells, "I'm not looking
Antonio and Anestor are side by side working in the former's office. Anestor hands him guest opinion forms when they have checked out.Antonio wrinkles his nose when he reads the guests missing Reginaldo, his dexterity and beauty.Anestor already knows his boss is reading this, but he keeps his pose low-key. Now and then, he flashes a smile of satisfaction and revenge, but not long enough to be caught by his master's father-in-law."These people need to get used to our other porters." Antonio returns the forms to the secretary, "What else?""There are more reviews on discount travel sites." Anestor informs him, "Do you want me to email them to you?""No!" Antonio gestures, and then disguises, "Ehr... You've been doing a good job, Anestor. I did very well to hire you.""Thank you, sir." Anestor pulls out another chair and sits down to organize the paperwork.Antonio smirks like the snake, "So, did useless Reggie even pay you a month's minimum wage?""I don't usually speak ill of my pre
Reginaldo returns home after checking how things are at the real estate agency. He thought about calling his parents to check on the news.However, Laura's entrance, scowling and huffing and puffing, moved him from that intention."Reggie, we need to talk about a very serious matter." She declares nervously, sitting down on the black sofa in the foyer.Reginaldo wonders what happened and accepts her subpoena. He sits beside his wife and asks affectionately, "What happened?"With that sweet, honeyed tone, Laura can't seem to get as angry as she intended. She softens the hardness of her face and speaks more controlled, "I went to Eduardo's apartment to clear up a few things and he told me something I didn't like."Reginaldo is dumbfounded, "Well, YOU just told me something I didn't like! Why did you go looking for this maniac after all he's done wrong?""It's because I wanted to make sure the abuser was really in cahoots with my father." Laura justifies herself, "However, worse has happ
Reginaldo, Laura, and Anestor are talking in what promises to be his former bedroom. The employee is packing his things to move."Guys, I enjoyed living with you." Anestor starts to say, "But you're right. If I continue to live here, Antonio will suspect that I'm working at the hotel at your behest.""It's a pity, Anestor, you've been quite helpful," Laura responds with hidden meaning. Reginaldo didn't catch it.Anestor sighs, "I already have a place to research. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to move.""Good luck." Reginaldo smiles, "So, do we already have something to research?"Anestor remembers the strange call he received, "Oh, if you two are suspicious of some friendship between Eduardo and Antonio, you're right. The writer called his office asking to speak with Tony.""TONY?" Laura is dumbfounded, "What kind of intimacy is this?""After your father threw that fancy party, the bonds of friendship certainly grew closer," Anestor responds jokingly.Reginaldo wiggles contemptuously, "
The next day, the driver (from here we will call him Jacob) opens the door of Aline's room with the key her parents gave him to bring breakfast. Aline was totally disappointed by the turn of events to the worse. What happened? Until yesterday she was free, light, and loose. Now it seems that she had returned to prison. Her room was still the same way. Penha didn’t let the maids arrange the room, not even pass a feather duster. With that, when Aline was stuck in the room, the stench of dust and mold hit her nostrils and she almost passed out. The sheets of the bed stink of sweat instead of the lavender softener that Penha always orders for the washers to include. Aline was still in her nightgown because her clothes were left behind. Jacob this time had no predatory smile. He was without the driver cap, revealing his bald head. But the driver was still in his thirty years, he shaved his head by choice. Aline looked at the breakfast tray and the feeling of being kidnapped grew furth
Carla is stunned when she hears Eduardo accusing her of being a whistleblower. The problem is: that's exactly what happened.Nobody likes to be blamed for bad things that happen, and that sums up what Carla thinks of herself, "What are you talking about? I didn't rat on anyone!""So Mr. Mendonça knew that Aline lived in this building?" Eduardo crosses his arms and counters with a fierce scowl, "He came straight to this floor and didn't ask anyone: he came knocking on this door!"Carla finally understands what resulted in her call. She doesn't speak for seconds, just with her mouth open, thinking...Eduardo saw this as a certificate of guilt, "Ah, now you remember what you did, right? You careless one! Are you really Aline's best friend?""Certainly I am!" Carla tries to hide it by throwing daggers at Eduardo, "And you, stop being offended as if you were something!""I'm her friend!" Eduardo is offended.Carla smiles sarcastically, "Friend? You're another one on her list, a male option
Carla appears at Gomes Estates and has to face Sabrina's evil smile. She has the tablet held out to her, showing a headline from an online portal: "Aline Mendonça is dragged back to her daddy's house like a spoiled teenager."Carla clenches her fists in anger, ready to punch the secretary, but George appears to stop further violence."What do you have to say about that, Carla?" Sabrina asks in hope of causing conflict."I have nothing to say, at least to you." Carla straightens, "You're just a mere secretary who never got along with Aline, so I don't have to worry about it.""Do you think I'm worried about that pit viper?" Sabrina laughs like a witch, "Ha, ha, ha, ha! I want Aline to get screwed! She's going to learn once and for all how to behave decently in society.""Like you?" Carla smiles wryly, "They're saying around the building where we live that you've been getting a guy for illicit sex, just like Aline did in my apartment."George glares at Sabrina. Sabrina reacts as if she'
Reginaldo appeared in the garden of the Mendonça mansion to save Aline from her parents' clutches. At least that's what he thought he was doing.If he knew who had called Aline's parents reporting her, he'd go elsewhere to get satisfaction.Jacob is washing the limousine responsible for the kidnapping. The hose almost wets Reginaldo due to an oversight on the part of the driver."Oh, sir, sorry..." Jacob looks at the visitor's imported branded clothes and realizes he's from high society, "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Mendonça?""No, but it's urgent to talk to him about Aline," Reginaldo responds dryly, imposing a dominating aura.Jacob mumbles a few words of apology and runs off with soapy hands to get Donald.Reginaldo enters the mansion and looks at the entrance room where the 'inspection' took place the day before. A uniformed maid appeared."Do you want anything, sir?""I'm just waiting for your boss, thank you." Reginaldo thanks her with a friendly smile.The maid nods her
