Denise is going to slap Eduardo, but she looks over the crazy man's shoulder and sees photographers from a certain tabloid. They're apparently not watching the scene, but Denise knows how they are: if she lands the slap, she'll be photographed and vilified in the next tabloids.Then she lowers her hand and takes a deep breath, “I didn't know I signed an exclusive contract with you.”Eduardo gets nervous, “Denise, if Laura sees that you're sleeping with other men, she won't be jealous of me!”“And is it still necessary for her to be jealous?” Denise raises the question, “Do you still want her as a woman?”“No, my love for her has died.” Eduardo alleges, “I just want her to waste time shuffling around at my feet asking for forgiveness while I enjoy it.”“OK, so we shouldn't restrict ourselves when she's away. I don't ask if you're sleeping with other girls.”Eduardo returns to his petulant posture, “You don't ask because I'm a man. With us it’s different.”Denise rolls her eyes. In the
A few days passed. Laura is tidying up her future clothing store. Workmen are lining up shelves and nailing up cabinets. Someone is setting up changing rooms for customers at the back of the store. With that, the noise of drills and hammers echo through the enclosure.Marianne decided to pay a visit and was delighted with the preparation, “Daughter, the store is going to be cute! Do we already have the name?”“How about Laura Fabrics?”“It's fine by me!” Marianne nods, “And has Reggie come to visit yet?”Laura loses some of her enthusiasm, “I don't think he even knows, Mom.”“Well, don't be intimidated: take a selfie or record a reel to show him!”Laura is excited again, “You're right, Mom. I need to show him that I am fulfilling my promise to open my own business with the R$250,000 he gave me.”Laura approaches her mother and the two take a selfie. After that, she sends it to Reginaldo.On the other side, in the Fabray Mansion, Reginaldo is slaughtering Aline in their suite. Aline's
After much depravity and savagery in the marital bed, Reginaldo and Aline finally decided to take a 'break' to replenish their energies. Reginaldo is smiling while Aline wipes away her tears.Reginaldo's phone rings and he answers it as if nothing had happened. Aline questions where so much vitality and resistance from her boyfriend comes from.“Hello?”On the other side, Anestor is alone at Mendonça Manor, in beach trunks and sunbathing in the pool area, “Hello, master. Can I call you master again now?”Reginaldo laughs, “Of course, Anestor! How is my girlfriend's house?”“Charlotte and the new servants are keeping it clean. So, do you intend to come back here?”“I still haven't decided with my dad. But everything points to yes.”“The whole Espírito Santo is talking about the great revelation,” Anestor comments excitedly.“Anestor, I want you to go to Gomes Estates and calm people down.” Reginaldo is back to being the serious boss, “I imagine that everyone is confused about what will
After checking the cleanliness of the store, Laura and Marianne decide to have lunch at the hotel's restaurant.“Mom, I’m so excited.” Laura exclaims over her shrimp risotto, “I’ll finally be a successful businesswoman. And my father will no longer throw in my face that I’m useless.”Marianne takes a bite of her sea bass, “Daughter, after everything that's happened, I can't believe you still care what your father thinks.”Laura ponders for a few seconds, “You're right. Did he call or try to talk to me once? Not. He was only interested in seeing me suffer through the divorce. But I am not suffering.”Marianne delves into the conversation with interest, “Are you over Reggie yet?”Laura wiggles, “No, I still love Reggie and will patiently wait for his divorce plus Aline.”“Good girl. I thought you might be interested in someone else.” Marianne takes a sip of wine.“I'm not interested in returning to Eduardo. Not while he's still surrounded by that unattractive redhead.” Laura complains b
Reginaldo decided to have mercy on Aline and finally showed up at the Fabray Network headquarters.He and Bartolomeo were in the patriarch's office, but as we saw earlier, all of Bartolomeo's objects were moved to a smaller one.“Son, how do you feel in this spacious and modern office?” Bartolomeo asks smiling.“I feel quite comfortable, Dad. Thank you very much for the vote of confidence.”“So, have you decided if you are going to live with your parents or if you are going to look for a mansion for yourself?”Reginaldo takes a few seconds to answer, “Dad, I decided to continue living in Sunset Village.”Bartolomeo nods, “Well... if you think you can travel from there to here...”“Maybe I can get a jet or a helicopter.” Reginaldo smiles at the thought, “I've decided that I won't need to come to the office every day, so I'll be closer to my team in Lagoon City.”“Okay, and what do we do with Henry's client base?” Bartolomeo stifles a laugh after pronouncing the loser's nephew's name.“
George opens the door to Reginaldo's office and walks in with Anestor and Bruno behind him.“So, is my best friend going to continue to use this office?” George asks after closing the door.Anestor smirks, “It’s obvious to the entire world but you that my master will be using the headquarters office.”“Then will we be left to fend for ourselves?” Bruno worries, “Do Bianca's complaints make sense?”“I don't even know who this girl is, but she's wrong.” Anestor leans his butt against his master's desk, “Gomes Estates will be attached to the Fabray Network, and you will have the privilege of joining the company as collaborators of the Fabray family. You guys might pop the champagne.”“We didn't buy champagne,” George speaks sourly.“Oh, don’t be a party pooper.” Anestor complains, “Buy at least one soda, we need to toast the good news.”“You look like you're pretty happy, huh?” George crosses his arms, unwilling to forgive the butler, “Aren't you going back to the butler?”Anestor also c
At the Ferreira Hotel, Antonio walked into his wife's office and was weirded to see that she was chatting furtively with someone over the phone. Why the nervousness and reluctance to respond?“Honey, you make me think you're cheating on me.” He insists.Marianne gives a not-so-confident laugh, “Ha, ha, honey... you're mistaking me for someone else.”“Yes, I know you won't act like Aline Mendonça. If you had a lover, I would find out right away.”Marianne stands up rolling her eyes, “How humble...”Antonio positions himself in front of Marianne as if he wants to block her steps, “I'm serious, Marianne. Don't ever think of betraying me. I could do that because I'm a man, but I decided to be faithful to you. Therefore, I demand reciprocity.”Marianne is revolted by this double standard that Antonio and Eduardo insist on maintaining, “You 'could' betray me but you 'decided' to keep faithful? What the hell is this argument? You talk like you're the only one on planet Earth!”“Well, look ar
Marianne visits Taddeo's apartment as per the location he sent her. The new resident was sweeping the living room floor when someone rang the doorbell.”Who is it?”“It's me, Taddeo!”Taddeo smiles, he recognizes Marianne's voice, “Just a sec!”After placing the broom against the wall, he opens the door. Marianne is wearing a pair of sunglasses.“Is it too hot outside?”“I'm a society lady, I don't want to be recognized.”“Next time, ring the intercom downstairs and I'll know it's you. So you come straight here.” Taddeo gestures to the sofa, “Have a seat, I just cleaned it. It won’t stain your fine apparel.”Marianne smiles slightly, removes her sunglasses, and sits down, “The apartment is very cozy.”“Thanks to my son. He is living at the front door.” Taddeo sits down next to her.“And won't it be dangerous for us?”Taddeo replies between giggles, “Wow, Marianne, you sound like we’re having an extramarital affair.”Marianne is extremely embarrassed and Taddeo regrets the joke.“I'm s
