Reginaldo enters Gomes Estates and still notices Sabrina's absence. He goes straight through and goes to the manager's office.Bruno is attentive to the computer, recording the day's sales in the system.Reginaldo exclaims excitedly, "Good afternoon, Bruno! How are sales going?"Bruno responds with his eyes fixed on the monitor, "George and Márcio showed up and handed me the contracts." He looks at Reginaldo, "Did you come to give me yours?""Not exactly," Reginaldo responds smiling.But the smile is not contagious to Bruno, "Did you not sell, my friend?""Bruno, allow me to explain." Reginaldo pulls up his seat and sits down. His face is beaming with anticipation, "Do you remember Josias Rocha?"Bruno bursts out laughing, rocking back in his chair, "Come on, Reggie? I'm not that old!""OK, I'll let it go that you called me 'Reggie' for the first time. Well then... The client Gumercindo Tavares was not who he said he was. When I opened the door to the client, he was Alan Campos Rocha!
Laura continues to stroll and walk along the beach, thinking about life, and admiring the horizon. Seagulls fly overhead, bathers gather their things to leave, a boy digs in the sand without being able to find his father who was buried hours earlier, and street vendors count the day's earnings.Suddenly she stops at a spot in the sand.A pair of sneakers and red shorts are near a rock.Laura instinctively looks out to sea and......Eduardo is getting out of the water after swimming naked.Laura can't look away. Although Eduardo is not beefy and robust like Reginaldo, he has a fit body, not scrawny.Eduardo realizes that he is being spied on by the person he least expected. The reaction is immediate: cover the intimate part with both hands.Laura asks with a laugh, "What is this, Eddie? Ashamed of me?"Eduardo approaches with a strained face, "Now you can only look at your husband's body, which is much fitter than mine.""You know I never cared about that. You've always been efficient
It's getting dark on the beach at Sunset Village. Eduardo gradually changes his mind about Laura.He is puzzled by her, "Why did you hold back your laughter?""I didn't mean to be rude. Do you really want to burn your image by taking Aline Mendonça to introduce you as your girlfriend?""What's the crime?"Laura yells, "She's an insatiable promiscuous!"Eduardo wiggles, "Nobody can prove that. I researched it on the Internet: there is no mention of Aline Mendonça going out or sleeping with other guys. There are only two things that discredit the poor thing: her birthday party and the cardboard scene she staged in my autograph session."Laura quips, "Both events at my father's hotel."Eduardo produces a sly smile, "Therefore, no one can accuse me of being cuckold for presenting her to society as belonging to me."Laura gets even closer to Eduardo and slides her fingers over his chest, very slowly and sensually, "I don't believe she's going to stay faithful to you for a long time. All sh
After satisfying their lust like two irresponsible deviants, Laura and Eduardo are lying on the grass at the secluded spot on the beach.They can hear from afar the laughter of another young man and the crying of his girlfriend.Eduardo smiles, "Looks like another couple had the same idea."Laura tries to get up, grimacing in pain, "Eddie, you weren't that rash. If you keep this up, I won't be able to make love to you anymore and hide the pain from Reggie."Eduardo smiles lewdly, "He doesn't pound you rough like a real male."Laura wrinkles her nose as she dresses, "No. He's kind and gentlemanly, he cares about me and not his own pleasure. That's why that Aline is dying for more, but I won't allow it."Eduardo gets impatient, "Laura, I don't understand you. If you want Aline away from your husband, leave her to me! You could even help me."Laura explodes, "No, Ed! She won't be with you or anyone else! She's a slut who deserves to be lonely and abandoned in her old age full of cats in
Eduardo is in his loft, lying in bed, naked, showered, and smiling like a teenager. The cell phone is in his ear, calling someone.In the master suite, which resembles a medieval residence, Antonio takes advantage of Marianne being in the bathroom to answer, but he talks in a low tone."Hello, Eddie! If you can talk fast...""Good news, Tony! Laura found me on the beach and demanded that I kiss her! As I suspected, she's still crazy about me!"Antonio is also elated, "And you kissed her?""Better than that! We had great sex in a secluded corner of the beach! She said I'm performing fiercer and manly, I was very flattered."Antonio nods, "That's right, Eddie, be ruthless. She'll tell the difference and choose you.""I told her that I want to take Aline to Lisandro's Show and she was a beast!""Then there is no longer any doubt: she snitched Miss Mendonça out of sheer jealousy.""Yeah, hard to get over that point. Anyway, let's get on with our plan. Reggie has no idea what happens, he,
Thursday. At the Ferreira house, Reginaldo and Laura have breakfast. Laura eats her toast with her head down as she remembers the wild night she had with Eduardo and feels guilty.In her mind pops up all the time the image of Laura and Eduardo kissing madly on the beach.Reginaldo wakes her up, "Darling? How are you?"Laura disguises herself, "I'm okay. Yesterday I cleared my name before my father.""You need to get away from him for a few days, dear. That way I'll see a smile from you again."Laura actually smiles, "Can we change the subject?""Yes, I have another piece of news to tell you. Yesterday, I ran into Alan Campos Rocha." Reginaldo announces proudly.Laura is stunned by the news, "Darling! He's–""Yes, it was a stroke of luck. He signed up for Carla's vlog under a pseudonym and happened to meet him. He wants to re-establish the partnership between Rocha Constructions and the real estate company.""And what did your boss say?"Reginaldo wanted to correct Laura, but he stops
Reginaldo is outraged at Márcio expressing his animalistic desires to Aline. George is apprehensive about the impending argument."Why do you see Aline only as a sex bag, Márcio?" Reginaldo questions him harshly.Márcio replies with mockery, "I wanted to see her as a girlfriend, but she's the one who refused to date me."Reginaldo gets closer, "That doesn't mean you have the right to offend and degrade her.""So why didn't she ever say that to me?""It's because she is meek and shy; she would never say anything that would upset you. You are the one who takes advantage of her kindness to violate her."Márcio smiles defiantly. George tugged at his shirt sleeve."OK, let's end this conversation. Let's hope Aline can change her life."Márcio nods and leaves. Reginaldo puts his hand on George's shoulder, preventing him from leaving."Are you taking good care of Aline?"George responds with a dry throat, "Of course, I gave her the money.""I'm thinking of looking for an apartment for her to
Reginaldo enters his office with George behind. The friend is curious about whether or not Reggie will be with Laura.Reginaldo replies as soon as he closes the door, "George, I can't marry Aline.""Then why do you bother Márcio?" George shoots the question at point-blank range.Reginaldo frowns, "Because Márcio just wants to treat Aline like a sex doll. I won't allow that. If Aline commits suicide alleging a lack of usefulness in life, I would never forgive myself."George scratches his chin and sits down, "I don't know. That, to me, is the attitude of someone who is in love. For someone married to another woman, you are very protective of Aline."Reginaldo sits at the desk, equally thoughtful, "I hope Aline doesn't get a bad impression. I'm just a friend who sees something more in her than 'no-wears-panties'."George is pragmatic, "Man, I repeat: if you are not even interested in keeping her as a lover, then stop preventing Márcio from being with her. Aline will never learn to take
