Laura decides to question George why he is making faces of disbelief at her trade.“Mr. Correia, did I offend you in any way? Are you still upset that I hung up on you yesterday? I explained to you the reasons.”George shakes his head, “Excuse me, Miss Ferreira. I didn't mean to be disrespectful.”“I think we better clarify ourselves before we continue.”“No, this has nothing to do with our negotiation.” George takes the paperwork out of his shoulder bag, “We don’t have to get personal.”Laura smiles slightly, “I'm sorry, but I'm not an ordinary girl, Mr. Correia. As Reggie's co-worker, he must have said something about me, and now you're a little wary of me.”“Miss Ferreira—”“You want to lease this store for commission, but you don't think I'm capable of carrying on the business, is that it?” Laura asks piercingly.George feels a lump in his throat. How do you respond to a rich girl without hurting her feelings?“Miss Ferreira, since you insist on going personal, then I will answer
In the empty store where George was trying to close a lease, Laura interrogated him about Reginaldo's true identity.George breaks into a sweat, “Miss Ferreira, if you've only come to ask questions, I suggest we end this conversation!”George starts to walk away, but Laura grabs him by the arm, “Not so fast, sir! Let's talk more calmly. I am aware of the truth, I just want confirmation.”“If you want confirmation, then you are still in doubt.”“Of course I have doubts!” Laura exclaims in surprise, “You have no idea what it's like to find out that the husband you lived with for four years was someone else.”“No, I have no idea because I've never married another man.” George jokes.“Argh, don’t be clowning around and confirm my question!” Laura is enraged.“OK!” George gestures, “I'll keep the paperwork as we won't have rent...”George was going to put the documents away, but Laura jumps on him and snatches the sheets, almost tearing them, “NO! I want to rent this space to open my store
Reginaldo is leaving Gomes Estates when George appears with a big smile.“Man, with that glowing countenance of yours, that means...”“That's right!” George cheers, “I got the deal done!”“Congratulations, George!” Reginaldo pats his best friend on the shoulder.“Well, it's not like it's the first time, but your ex-wife isn't easy to negotiate with, huh?” George jokes.“Did she ask a lot of questions and objections?”George is a little embarrassed. Yes, Laura asked a lot of questions, but about...“Buddy, I think you need to know what happened.” George leans against Sabrina's desk, “Laura Ferreira knows the truth.”Reginaldo's smile fades little by little. That's a bombshell for him!“Who told her?”“She didn't say, but I didn't ask either, such was my shock.”Reginaldo sighs, “I understand, and your concern was closing the lease agreement. Did Laura do this on purpose?”“Do you think renting that store was a subterfuge?” George scratches his head, “I don't know, she was indeed excite
At Mendonça Manor, the situation got complicated (or not) for those who wish Reginaldo well.Will Carla's post ruin Reggie's whole plan?Or, as Bartolomeo said, is it too late and there's nothing left to hide?“Better see how George is doing.” Carla responds in a shaky voice, “He said he signed a lease for Laura.”Aline has a new rage, “What? What's happening? Carla, your fiancé is making friends with the enemy side!”“Calm down, Aline,” Sylvia advises her.Carla clears her throat, “Aline, I think George knows who Laura Ferreira is. This lease is supposed to be a strictly business thing, so it's best to make that clear to him.”“It was just what I needed!” Aline rolls her eyes, “My best friend's fiancé getting involved with my enemies.”“Excuse me.” Carla takes advantage of George's message to escape, aware that she made a mistake by posting a selfie with Reginaldo's parents.As if by arrangement, Reginaldo appears in the dining room.“Hi, Mom! Hi Dad!”“Sonny!” Sylvia is the first to
At Mendonça Manor, the Fabray family is resting from lunch in one of the Victorian-style living rooms. Aline is nestled in Reginaldo's body.“So, guys, when do you want the wedding?” Sylvia asks excitedly.“We haven't set a date yet,” Aline responds.“Do you want the ceremony in the ballroom of the Ferreira Hotel?” Bartolomeo jokes and everyone laughs.“Never, we don't want the event to be canceled at the last minute.” Reginaldo replies, having fun, “The party could be at my house.”“That's right, Aline still doesn't know our property.” Sylvia nods.Aline is already dazzled before traveling there. In her imagination, the Fabray Mansion must be three times larger and more elegant than her current home.“It will be my pleasure to recite my marriage vows on your estate, Sylvia and Bart.” She responds sweetly.“Well, we already have the location.” Reginaldo vibrates, “Now, who are we not going to invite?”“No enemy of ours will attend.” Bartolomeo promptly responds, “We don't want any mor
At Mendonça Manor, Reginaldo's cell phone rings and he decides to answer it. It's Matias.“Guys, it’s Matias.” He turns to Aline, “My brother-in-law.”“You also have a sister who is married.” Aline responds by scratching her head, “I'm really confused.”Sylvia and Bartolomeo giggle.Reginaldo answers his brother-in-law, “Hello, Matt!”“What nickname is that?” Matias laughs. He's in his office, “Hey, mission accomplished. I spoke with Cassio and he confirmed that he is no longer interested in Henry's shenanigans.”“Good, because it's not fun playing detective anymore when everyone already knows about the revelation,” Reginaldo responds jokingly.“What do you mean?” Matias frowns.“Here in Sunset Village, even Laura knows the truth,” Reginaldo responds.“Who told her?” Matias asks scared.But Reginaldo is calm, “The question is: who wouldn't have told? Henry would open his mouth to Mr. Ferreira. The imbecile just doesn't know that I'm already well prepared to face him.”“It’s time to en
Monday arrived, the day Josias and Henry will face once and for all.In Henry's loft, he's practicing jumping jacks and karate chops, thinking he's going to physically fight with his cousin.Cássio enters the loft without knocking and laughs at his foolish cousin.“Oh gosh! When I told you were going to face Reggie, did you believe it would be physical? Don't you think it's too late to train in martial arts?”Henry takes a deep breath, goes to a table, and grabs a towel to dry the sweat on his body, “I don't know what's going to happen, I want to be prepared for everything.”“Do you think there will be a fight at such a formal meeting?” Cassio insists.“I just know I'm so damn hateful!” Henry throws the washcloth away.“Ok, thus ends all that you have planned shamefully.” Cassio mocks him, “Cousin, end the dispute with your head held high!”“Who said it was over?” Henry smirks, “This is just the beginning!”Cássio rolls his eyes and leaves so as not to listen to his hallucinating cous
Reginaldo and Aline enter the Fabray Network headquarters and are received with pomp and excitement by all employees and realtors.“He returned! The heir has returned!”“I always knew it was him in those tabloids!”“And what a beautiful woman he got!”“But isn’t she the one who keeps leaving the house without her panties on?”Aline was just too happy to listen to these outrages. Now she realizes how important and powerful her future husband is. Her conviction to help him grew more and more.“Reggie... they love you and they missed you! Oh dear, you shouldn't have run away...”“If I hadn't gone to Sunset Village, you wouldn't be with me now,” Reginaldo speaks affectionately in her ear while they wait for the elevator.Aline isn't so sure about that. The first time they saw each other was at her fateful birthday party... and she wants to forget about that event.Perhaps fate would help the two meet in another way.When the elevator arrived, Reginaldo and Aline met Natalia and Matias in
