Reginaldo decides to clear things up with Cassio before he jumps off the Third Bridge.“Cassio, I better let you know that there will be changes to the Fabray Network.”“I knew it.” Cássio slams his glass of beer on the table and gets up.“Hey Hey hey!” Reginaldo gestures, “Sit down, boy, I didn’t say anything!”“I think I understand now.” Cassio sits, complaining bitterly.“First of all, I didn't say anything. Secondly, even if I did, would you have reason to be upset and offended?” Reginaldo asks surgically.Cassio is forced to agree, “No, I've done a lot of bad things. I deserve to go to jail.”“Well, we didn't call the police when we found out because we wanted to do it our way.” Reginaldo responds firmly, “And we'll forever have the case of the poisoned bonbons to stop Henry from doing something stupid.”“I believe he will not,” Cassio affirms, calming down.“OK. With that point cleared up, let's get to what I really wanted to say. Cassio, my father has decided that Henry's entir
The next day, Cassio goes straight to his Uncle Bart's office to talk about the second chance he's been given.But he opened the door and did not find his uncle. Where he is?A cleaning lady spotted him and smiled, “Your uncle is in another office, this one now belongs to young Fabray.”“Thanks.” Cassio withdraws.He goes checking the corridors until he finds an open office and finds his uncle inside.“Uncle?” Cássio enters, “What are you doing in this smaller office? Interns usually work here until they grow in the company and move up to larger offices.”Bartolomeo smiles slightly, “Good morning, nephew. How can I help you? I think you know why I moved into this office here.”Cassio nods. It's because of Reginaldo, “Anyway, I came here to thank you for leaving Henry's client portfolio under my command. I promise I’ll be responsible and...”Bartolomeo chuckles and raises his hand, “Hey, what are you thanking me for, nephew? You deserved it.”“But Reggie says you've decided. You know,
On the Fabray Network, Cassio pulls up a chair and sits down. The surprise was too much for him.“Uncle, why was Reginaldo so kind to me? I thought he was going to hate me forever!”Bartolomeo smiles, “You see who really wrong in this history was. I hope one day I can have a civil conversation with Henry to make him understand that we never meant to harm him or you.”“I still can't travel here with my head held high because of the chocolates...” Cássio is crestfallen.“We were deeply upset about it, but we learned to forgive and forget.” Bartolomeo blinks.“The one who won’t forgive much less forget will be Henry.” Cássio takes out his cell phone, “He blocked me on all his social media.”Bartolomeo gives a hearty laugh, “That was deliverance for you, nephew.”“Maybe. Now I’ll be more focused on sales and clients.” Cassio gets up.“Seize the good opportunity, nephew. And always thank your cousin. As far as I'm concerned, you'd be languishing in jail by now.”Cassio smiles slightly and
In the library that used to be Donald's, now Reginaldo is using it like it's always been his. Anestor serves a platter with a cup of black coffee.“Anestor, I'm waiting for you to answer me about the reaction of the people at Gomes Estates.”“Master, you really like to suffer, huh?” Anestor tries to withdraw.But Reginaldo takes the butler's arm, “Not another step! Tell me what these people want?”Anestor takes a deep breath as if about to blurt out a blasphemy, “They want higher commissions plus bonuses, and I-don’t-know-what-else!”Reginaldo has fun while Anestor sweats cold.“Master, what's the fun? Your father is not in a position to comply with the demands. And we still have Bianca setting up scandals and encouraging realtors to resign!”Reginaldo immediately stops laughing, “What?”“See? I knew you would hate the news, but you made me.” Anestor whimpers like a child.“Come on, Anestor, the situation is not so serious. Do you think Bianca will resign?”“She has an absurdity thoug
At the Fabray Network, Bartolomeo is typing up a formal letter to send to the press who are dying to know more salacious details about Reginaldo's identity.“I hope they get satisfied and stop harassing us.” He complains through gritted teeth.The office door opens and Aline walks in, “Good morning, Bart.”Bartolomeo stops typing and finds the future daughter-in-law, “Aline! Have you already come to fit in with the company and its employees?”Aline closes the door, “That too. But I had the misfortune to confer with your daughter.”“I don't understand your bad luck.” Bartolomeo chuckles. For him, there is no wrong with his little princess.But Aline pulls up a chair to sit down and put an end to her future father-in-law's illusion, “The problem is that she thinks I’ll be an irresponsible wife who will ruin Reggie's professional and marital life!”“And you intend to wreck my son's professional and marital life?” Bartolomeo asks with his eyes fixed on the monitor.“NO!” Aline exclaims, “
At Mendonça Manor, Anestor is very worried about his master wanted him to get involved with Antonio Ferreira's messes again.The butler pulls up a chair and sits down without asking permission, “Master, I thought you had already forgotten about this madman!”Reginaldo smiles mischievously, “Of course not, I'll never forget what that damn old man put me through! I am even willing to spare Laura and Mrs. Ferreira because I know they also suffer at his hands. But, remember that suspicious story you told me?”Anestor sighs, “Yes, about Joshua Dantas coming out of one of the VIP suites completely naked.”“We were going to investigate this, but Márcio died and we let this story slip.”“Last I heard from him, Joshua was fired,” Anestor reports.Reginaldo nods, “Of course, he was fired for having the wrong bags with the evidence that Aline and Eduardo had something to do with Márcio’s death.”“Are you thinking of contacting him?”“He certainly read the newspapers or watched a report on TV.” R
At three in the afternoon, as agreed, Joshua approaches Mendonça Manor with a dazed expression. It's one thing to read about the mansion in the tabloids, it's another to see the estate up close! He felt privileged and a little jealous of the rich and famous.Anestor receives him with some certain sourness. He thinks Joshua will bring more trouble and bad luck to his boss, “I hope this time you're willing to talk, nuddy boy!”“What are you talking about?” Joshua narrows his eyes.“My master wants to question you about that day I caught you leaving that VIP suite. To this day you haven’t answered me.”Joshua despairs and already wants to leave Mendonça Manor, “What? I was called for this? I thought I was called for a job interview!”Anestor cackles heartlessly, “Job? Young man, what can you help my master with?”“I understand he is the heir to the Fabray Network.” Joshua responds in a defiant tone, “I thought I could learn the craft of real estate brokerage.”“Dream on, Fabray Real Esta
At Mendonça Manor, Joshua senses that it's time to explain to his friend what happened at the Ferreira Hotel.“Buddy, do you really want to know what happened to me according to what your butler saw? By the way, I thought he was Mr. Ferreira’s secretary.”Reginaldo smiles, “Well, Anestor was working under my orders, acting as a spy for my ex-father-in-law.”“So it was you who was photographed with his daughter...” Joshua delights in the truth.“Yes, I was married to her, but my goddamn ex-father-in-law didn't want anyone to know. I also didn't want to reveal my true identity, so we stayed the way we were. But the time has come to end the farce.”“Good, Reggie, I'm glad to see you acting as you should.”Reginaldo takes a deep breath, “So, do you want to tell me what happened?”Joshua lowers his head, “It was an indiscretion I committed.”Reginaldo smiles in pity, “Did you fall in love with a millionaire lady who stayed in one of the luxury suites?”Joshua chuckles wryly, “Wish it was a
