Jacob observes Paula listening to Antonio and Laura's heated conversation and approaches slowly to scare her. The maid's luck is that she wasn't 100% inattentive and managed to notice his presence.“What you-”“SCHI!” Paula widens her eyes and puts her finger on her lips, ordering the indiscreet person to shut up. Afterward, she grabs him and pushes him away from the door, “Why would you want to scare me?”The clueless guy chuckles, “It's ugly to eavesdrop.”“You could discreetly warn me, but no; you wanted me to get scared, and scream, and the boss would open the door to fire me. That's it?”Only now did Jacob seem to realize the folly he was about to commit, “Was the conversation really that serious?”Paula rolls her eyes. She goes into the foyer and the driver follows her.“Mr. Ferreira played some audio files proving that our mistress was cheating on Mr. Silva with a butler. How odd, there hasn't been a butler since I started working here.”“Maybe that's why he filed for divorce.”
Cássio was playing solitaire on the computer instead of contacting clients for future sales. Bartolomeo breaks into his office and strides over to his desk.“Let's see if we have one more pervert here... No! But you are playing solitaire instead of working!”Cassio can't turn off the monitor in time and tries to cover it with his hand, but it's twenty-four inches, “Uncle Bart! What the hell are you doing, entering my precinct like that?”“I want to call you to reason!” Bartolomeo roars, “Where is your bad cousin? We have a meeting scheduled in half an hour!”Cassio's eyes widen, remembering the appointment, “That's right, we completely forgot!”“We?” Bartolomeo fishes out the pronoun, “You're including Henry in the middle, correct?” He sniffs, “And what brandy breath do I smell from your mouth? Did you toast the first sales place in December?”“I don’t even know what our placement was!”Bartolomeo pulls back and takes a deep breath, “Unbelievable. My realtor, who brings the most sales
Cássio is desperate and called Henry. He still bears the mark of the slap Bartolomeo gave him.On the other hand, Henry has just checked into the Ferreira Hotel, intending to talk to Antonio. He feels the phone vibrate in his pants and decides to answer it as he follows the porter to the VIP suite.“Hello, Cassio?”“Henry, for Christ's sake!” Cassio whimpers, “Why did you decide to travel on the day we were having a meeting?”Henry also widens his eyes and has the same reaction, “Damn it! I completely forgot! I was so absorbed in defeating Reggie that—”“Uncle Bart found out and slapped me.” Cassio sniffs, “He said Reggie is going to crush us both!”Henry returns to his petulant posture and smirks, “Ah, Cassio, don't tell me you're afraid of the sick old man! He's just talking to scare you. But looks like he did it, huh?”“I don't want to go to jail for poisoned candies, my friend!” Cassio retorts fiercely, “So far you are very smug and confident, but it's time you thought about the p
Aline doesn't understand why George is looking worried if the reason is to celebrate, “Is there a problem, George?”George quickly disguises it, cursing Aline in his thoughts, “No, I'm just admiring the beauty of the place! Where is Reggie?”“He already left. He went to buy a few things for us to eat.” Aline smiles back, “I promised to make Lasagna Bolognese.”George smirks, “You don't know how to make lasagna.”The hug is broken and Carla faces George. What was this?Aline eventually realizes what is bothering George and responds in a neutral tone, “I learned how to do it. Your girlfriend didn't tell you? I have learned many dishes. That girl who only fried eggs was left behind.”“I don't know why you bothered if you'll have a cook,” George speaks with slight sarcasm.“Sometimes the husband feels extra pleasure when his wife prepares a certain dish.” Aline responds by lifting her head haughtily, “Speaking of which, I'll check on the kitchen. Carla, will you watch the library for me?
The loaders finish turning on Reginaldo's computer on the desk. Carla looks around and notices the empty shelves. Donald took all the books, as well as the rugs and curtains.“Later we'll redecorate the place.” She speaks as if she owes the loaders an explanation.When they leave, Carla finds Anestor with suitcases.“Ah, Miss... Carla Fortunato, correct?” He smiles endearingly.“Yes, it's me. Hello...” They shake hands, “I didn't know you...”“I’ll also live here. Remember I worked for Mr. Silva.”“That's great. Miss Mendonça is in the kitchen with my boyfriend helping her.”Carla walks away. Anestor frowns and thinks that George is banging Aline with Carla a few meters away.When he decides to 'save' Aline, his cell phone vibrates with a message notification. He checks the device and widens his eyes at Laura's message.“Anestor, we need to talk in your apartment. My dad knows we slept together and threatens to tell Reggie everything if I don't accept the divorce. Someone recorded one
Anestor is talking to George outside Mendonça Manor, where Jacob used to wash his bosses' car.“What stream of rudeness was that you uttered to my master’s future wife, huh?” Anestor grabs George's neck.George's eyes go wide and he struggles to breathe, “Gasp... you're suffocating me!”“That's the intention! Does that mean you're scared that Miss Mendonça will open her mouth to your best friend? What a coward you are!”Anestor releases George. He coughs violently. Then he asks, “Why do I get the feeling... that she slept with you too?”“Shut up!” George snarls, “You want to be strangled right away? If my master finds out about this, you will be buried alive in the beach sand and no one will miss you!”“Carla will miss me, we love each other.”Anestor smiles ignominiously, “Allow me to comfort the widow. She'll forget about you in no time!”George's eyes are on fire when he hears this immoral phrase coming from a guy who is supposed to be straight and conservative as a butler, “Who ar
The day of George and Carla's engagement at the Ferreira Hotel arrived. And that's what's making Antonio seethe with rage.Laura visits her father to inform him of the decision she made and found him like this, “Ah, so you end up having a heart attack all at once! What is it now?”“Your ex-husband is the one who wants to kill me!” Antonio neighs, “He reserved the ballroom for the betrothal of his rabble friends!”Laura tastes vomit on her tongue, “Who are they? Dad, cancel that reservation immediately!”“That's what I intend to do!” Antonio picks up the phone from his desk and dials the reservation team, “Hello, this is Mr. Ferreira. IMMEDIATELY CANCEL THE RESERVATION MADE BY REGGIE SILVA FOR TODAY! I don't care if it's for his friends, I don't want low-class people tarnishing my hotel's reputation! OK!” He slams the mouthpiece down hard and takes a deep breath like a bull.“Thanks, Dad.” Laura smiles, “I came here to let you know my decision.”“Which?”“I will accept Reggie's divorce
Reginaldo and Aline wake up as husband and wife in the master suite at Mendonça Manor. The curtains were open, so they enjoyed the sun rising over the paradisiacal horizon.Aline turns to the headboard of the bed and sees the cell phone announcing a message from Carla. She picks up the device and reads.Reginaldo smiles and jokes, “Honey, it's not good to be looking at social media as soon as we wake up. How about washing your face, brushing your teeth, and having breakfast before then?”But Aline is already reading the message with a frown, “What? Carla just announced that the venue for today's party has moved HERE!”Reginaldo's last bit of sleep is gone. He gets up in his underwear and looks for his cell phone to check.After reading the message, he is also startled, “The party will be here? But what does Carla think she does?”Aline's face is somber, “I don't think we need to guess, Reggie. Your father-in-law canceled the reservation when he found out you made it.”“But this is abs
