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
Reginaldo visits the Gomes Real Estate Agency. Bruno is present and talks to him at the entrance."Bruno, I've been thinking about making some changes. How about we just call our company Gomes Estates? To make it simple for our customers."Bruno nods, "Good idea. You're the boss."The two grab brooms and start sweeping the floor. 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. Ready to get the company back on track?"George and Bruno shake hands.Reginaldo continues sweeping, "George has no sales experience, but we have to start somewhere, right?"Bruno nods, "Yes, I've had the opportunity to train a lot of people who are now rocking sales.""OK, so apparently I'm going to start helping with the cleaning. 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,
