When George sees that Aline is heading towards his table and Reginaldo, he raises and lowers his eyebrows, signaling to Reginaldo that she is approaching. Afterward, he gets up and tackles Aline before she gets any closer.

"Hi, are you Aline Mendonça?" he asks almost throwing himself on top of her.

"Yes, I am..." Aline tries to see Reginaldo up close.

Reginaldo takes advantage and gets up from his chair, going directly to the bathroom.

"A pleasure. Could I get your autograph?" George asks, barely disguising it.

Aline frowns. She wanted to see his mate!

"OK, do you have any papers?"

"I have the classic napkin." George takes a napkin from his table while Aline takes a pen from her purse.

As she signs, Aline asks, "I think I've seen your friend from somewhere. Does he sell popsicles on the beach in Sunset Village?"

George answers a little desperately, "No, no! He's a real estate agent. He just bought the Gomes Real Estate Agency, you know what it is."

"No, I don't know, it's not from my

    The waiter brings the passion fruit juice for Laura to calm her nerves. Laura drinks in one go, scaring Marianne."I don't think you need to tell me anything else." She asserts, "Eduardo turned out to be a terrible future husband and you don't want to admit it.""NO!" Laura screams in horror. A couple who was close to her got annoyed and walked away."So what's up, my daughter? I don't have all day." Marianne looks at her wristwatch."Are you going to meet your friends for shopping?" Laura speaks with annoyance."And what else can a rich woman do?" Marianne asks indifferently."Well, according to my dad, I'll have to work." Laura gets up, "In fact, I think I'd better see him before he thinks I've changed my mind."Marianne takes Laura's wrist, "Daughter, you promised to work at the hotel to be Eduardo's fake wife. But now that you're not marrying Eduardo anymore, you don't have to keep the deal."Laura gets more and more desperate to see that Marianne is already affirming things witho

    Laura arrived quietly at the house and found Reginaldo talking to Anestor. Fortunately, she didn't pick up anything compromising. She got to the part where Reginaldo asked about his father's water aerobics.However, if Reginaldo pronounced the phrase 'Send a kiss to my father', then Laura would be suspicious. Reginaldo had told the Ferreira family that his parents were dead.Therefore, Reginaldo, seeing that he was being watched, simply turned off his cell phone, "Laura, I didn't see you arrive."Laura doesn't really care, "Who is Anestor?""He is a friend.""How old is this friend of yours? Isn't water aerobics just for old people?" Laura helps herself to coffee."It's his father who needed it." Reginaldo's mind works fast."And I didn't even know you had such close friends."Reginaldo gets annoyed, "I'm not a hermit. I had more friends before I ran into you at the nightclub. In fact, these days I've been leaving the house more often to see them."Laura takes a sip and frowns, "You c

    Marianne is bothered by Antônio's lack of cooperation. She wants to ease or solve a problem, but he insists on controversy and confusion!"Darling, why does that sour face when I mentioned Eduardo Casemiro?""Honey, I wouldn't be a businessman if I didn't use my brains. I know very well what you're up to. You're trying to flaunt this writer as the perfect candidate for our daughter.""And he's a perfect candidate! Stop being stubborn and scowling..." Marianne folds her arms."Well, these last few days I've been thinking. I think I'd better cancel the idea I had and leave our daughter single in the eyes of society."Marianne takes a deep breath, unhappy, "Man, why did you change your mind?""I don't want Laura and this guy to get carried away and think they can legitimately marry because I won't allow it!" Antonio growls."This is absurd!" Marianne revolts, "If you continue like this, Laura and Eduardo will secretly divorce and flee the country.""And I will search every corner of this

The secretary counter has already been properly tidied up.George walks into the company and looks around, "Good morning, everyone!"Reginaldo points to Bruno, "Bruno, this is one of the new real estate agents, George Correia.""Nice to meet you, George. Welcome.

Where's the mop?" George asks good-naturedly."I'll look for it." Br

    The next day, Reginaldo is in the kitchen packing the Styrofoam box and putting out more popsicles for sale. He's talking to Magnum, the man who supplies the goods.Reginaldo passes some bills to Magnum, passing on the sales portion to the supplier, "Thanks a lot, Magnum."Magnum tucks the bills into the pocket of his battered jeans, "I can't believe you still prefer a humble job over living like the rich in the area. My wife doesn't believe me when I tell her."Reginaldo chuckles, "If you want, you can take a photo of the kitchen to prove it."Laura suddenly appears in the kitchen with a sour voice, "No, he can't!"The gentlemen are startled by the shrill voice of the feisty."Good morning, Mrs. Ferreira." Magnum tries to be respectful."Reggie, it's not good for strangers to take pictures of our house. Where's our privacy?" She looks at the floor, "I'm seeing mud marks on the floor."Magnum looks at his sandals, thinking they're the ones who stained the floor. However, Reginaldo kno

    Reginaldo feels cornered with Aline asking him questions about her whereabouts. Why is she so interested?He smiles to buy time, "Wow, Miss Mendonça, am I sensing an interest on your part?"Aline smiles back, "No, I just want to satisfy a curiosity.""They say curiosity is what kills." He jokes."It kills the cat. Am I a kitten?"Reginaldo was going to answer, but he chokes on the words.Aline laughs, "Reggie, I don't think you realize that I want to get to know you better.""Don't you think I'm unworthy to deserve this friendship?"Aline removes her glasses and scrutinizes Reginaldo's face, "I don't know... I feel like the profession doesn't make you look like someone poor or unworthy. You may not live here, but you're not a slum guy."Reginaldo feels like he's walking on eggshells, "No, I'm not from the favela. But that doesn't mean I'm a snob and a nose-up.""No, you have charisma, you're approachable... so I believe you do well selling popsicles.""I thought it was because of the

    After laughing a lot, Reginaldo was already wanting to leave to continue selling, "Well, Miss Mendonça, the chat is good, but I need to get more customers..." "Wait, Reggie!" Aline gets up from the beach chair, "You haven't told me yet if you were at the pizzeria." Reginaldo fades his smile a little. He thought Aline had forgotten, "Well... since you insist, yes. I was there with a friend." "And were you able to pay? I saw you hold out your credit card." "If I hadn't made it, I would have been in trouble." Reginaldo giggles. Aline relieves herself, "Thank God, I'm sane. It's good that you can get into places like the Parmesan Pizzeria. That means you can make good money here on the beach. So I won't hold you back, good sales!" Reginaldo nods, "Have fun, Miss Mendonça." "For Christ's sake, Reggie, call me Aline; you're not my lackey. I've told you a billion times that I want to be your friend, but you keep forgetting..." Aline pouts. Reginaldo laughs and walks away. If she only

    Reginaldo was selling popsicles to a family consisting of a husband, wife, and two children. The children frolicked in the Styrofoam box, choosing two flavors of each, while the wife couldn't stop coveting the vendor's attractive body.The husband, upset with his wife cheating on him in thoughts, pays for the four popsicles that the children snatched, "Keep the change.""Thank you, sir. Have fun, everyone.""Goodbye!" The children wave effusively.Reginaldo hears his cell phone ringing in the bag he has stuck in the Styrofoam box along with the garbage bag. He goes under a chestnut tree and answers, "Hello?""Master, your father is anxious to see you," Anestor speaks in one breath."And you explained to him that he can't." Reginaldo slightly frowns, his voice dry and dominating. He didn't even look like the charismatic vendor from earlier."Yes, but master knows what your father is like." Anestor scratches his head.Bartolomeo snatches Anestor's cell phone and takes the command, "Son,

    Aline breaks the silence when she sees Reginaldo meditating, “Don’t worry, Reggie. I know the whole story that was in the newspaper. Denise Lynch was the killer. Although I heard the official explanation, I don't know the version of her. Why?”Reginaldo shakes his head, “Another plot by Eduardo Casemiro. He brought Denise from Europe to make Laura jealous, to convince her to return to him. When Laura and I got divorced, they arranged for Denise to seduce Jacob so he and Laura wouldn't be together. So, Laura started dating Eduardo again. But he continued to be the crazy stoner he always was. Laura ended her relationship with Eduardo again. He got angry because the relationship between Denise and Jacob remained intact. He demanded that Denise help him win Laura back, otherwise, he would tell Jacob that Denise won him over on purpose.

    Days passed. Fabray House became a lonely corner, just for Reginaldo and Faron.With ‘Miss Correia’ no longer around, Reginaldo exempted Faron from the obligation to wear a suit. As a result, Reginaldo was already used to going downstairs in sweatpants and finding the butler wearing just boxers in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.“Good morning, Boss Reginaldo.” Faron greets him with a respectful smile, “How have you been feeling?”“Can you believe I still wake up reaching for the now empty side of the bed?” Reginaldo sits down, telling this as if it were a joke, “Or else, I wake up at dawn and jump on her side to bang her, but I only fall into the void.”“Yeah, I understand you. Try sleeping in the middle of the bed.” Faron advises him.“Maybe that’s better, or else go hunting for the next candidate.” Reginaldo sighs.Faron puts the breakfast options on the table while Reginaldo takes his cell phone out of his pocket to see what's new.The news written by João Paulo Queiroz Rocha sur

What's going on in Sunset Village?Everything that was built or combined is being destroyed or ceasing to exist.Taddeo sits in the armchair, “Can someone please explain to me in chronological order what is happening around here? Why do you insist on keeping things private and then expect us to just accept it?”George swallows hard, “Sorry, Dad—”“Don’t ‘sorry’ me, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!” Taddeo shouts angrily.George shakes a little. Taddeo is visibly furious. If he doesn't explain soon, his father will have another stroke, probably fatal this time.“OK, Dad,” George braces himself, “First, I want to reveal that during the months I was away from Reggie, I worked in the real estate agency of Henry, the hateful cousin.”“GEORGE!” Marianne exclaims outraged.“I know, it was a stupid move on my part. I looked like a tantrum child. I wanted Reggie to know what he lost by letting me leave Gomes Estates. But he never found out, and I

What happened, did you and Reginaldo fight again?”George takes a deep breath, “Josh, Reggie’s hateful cousin has been defeated. The Mares Agency will likely be passed on to our boss, along with the team of real estate agents. However, when he and I were fighting, I was foolish enough to team up with Henry Fabray, working at his agency.”Joshua gapes, horrified.“Did you work for the enemy these months? And you still had the gall to come back to us without saying anything?”“I knew you would react in disgust.” George justifies himself.“And that’s why you thought it was better to hide this from us?

This way, Mom can help her with how to take care of João Lucas. She is a first-time mother.”Sylvia, like every mother, notices a change in her son's attitude, “Reggie, what happened?”“No big deal, Mom.”“Then why are you crushing your cell phone in your hand as if it were your uncle Gilson’s

    This was too much for Laura. She once again felt wobbly in her legs and ran back into the mansion.When she was in the foyer, about to go up the stairs, she saw Reggie on the top step, about to go down. Laura notices the excited tone of her fiancé’s voice and hides in a corner to hear what he has to say.Reginaldo goes down the stairs, laughing, “Yes, Dad, I'm very happy. I'm sure Uncle Gilson will stay quiet in Europe, enjoying Paris and Milan, and he'll never want to come back here again. Yes, he will quickly forget that he has a dead son. Congratulations, Dad. Now we can finally work in peace.”Reginaldo finishes going down the stairs and goes outside to help dispose of his hateful cousin's corpse.Laura, in turn, with her heart pounding, runs up the stairs and reaches the second floor, going straight to the suite where she and Reginaldo are.She opens the closet and starts collecting her clothes haphazardly.Then, she takes her suitcase, opens it, and puts her clothes in without f

The Bento family can rest easy this time, as we won’t involve them.”Sylvia approaches him from behind with a disposable cup in hand, drinking water from the water cooler.“OK, son, bye!” Bartolomeo ends the call and turns to her, “It’s over, honey.”Sylvia finishes drinking the water, “What’s up, darling?”“Henry was cornered by Reggie at the mansion, in one of our guest suites, and they had a confrontation where Henry kind of confirmed everything. He murdered Antonio Ferreira just so the police would think the killer was our son.”“But those who spent a few days in prison were Sabrina and Anestor, the most obvious suspects.” Sylvia smiles in contempt.“I know, darling. My brother's plan was ridiculous and full of holes. When Reggie told Henry that Paula was with us and she would report him to Sergeant Andrade...”
