George and Joshua are having lunch at the Crystal Blue. They didn't make a reservation but were lucky to get a table.Joshua is in awe of being at Lagoon City's finest restaurant for the first time.The waiter is in front of them taking orders, "What would you like?""We'll have fish balls for starters and your famous grilled salmon for the young man here to try," George asks masterfully.Joshua notices George's imposing aura, requesting as if he were a senior executive director.The waiter finishes taking the order and leaves."George, how did you manage to learn these things?" Joshua asks with his jaw dropped.George chuckles, "Live and learn, buddy. A few months from now, it will be you hosting a romantic dinner for your girlfriend... do you have a girlfriend?""No, not yet," Joshua remembers what he did at the Ferreira Hotel and is embarrassed.But George doesn't notice the newbie's reaction, "Don't worry, in time that gets fixed too. Way better than being a janitor, huh?"Joshua
At the entrance to the Gomes Estates building, George and Joshua say goodbye."Buddy, I don't have any clients this afternoon." George informs him, "Since you're just practicing with me, you can leave.""Okay, but it was a pleasure learning from you, boss." Joshua holds out his hand.George shakes his hand, "Likewise. Come back tomorrow at the same place, I have another client to visit.""Will we meet at the same place?""No." Suddenly they hear Bruno's voice, "You both will meet inside the real estate agency."Joshua and George are startled. They turn around and find Bruno approaching with a perplexed expression. What is the newbie doing outside?"Bruno!" George greets him with exaggerated effusiveness, "You won't believe this. On Joshua's first day, I sold that apartment!""Of course I do." Bruno responds unenthusiastically, "You're our best realtor, George. I don't pop any more champagne because it would ruin my savings. And did the boy learn how to do it?""Yes sir, I learned ever
At the entrance to the Gomes Estates building, Bruno is shocked when Joshua complains about Bianca and Sabrina, especially Sabrina."Joshua, I know this doesn't usually happen in companies, but I need to fill you in on some details." Bruno explains seriously, "Sabrina Guedes is my girlfriend and an excellent secretary."George covers his mouth with his face to keep from laughing as Joshua turns red with rage."Does that mean she has a license to humiliate me?" Joshua exclaims."No, that means she is highly trained not to humiliate people. I don't understand your mistreatment report." Bruno crosses his arms."You weren't there, but she and Bianca are two witches—""Joshua, go home and come back tomorrow as we agreed." George takes control of the situation, tapping the newbie on the shoulder."Yes, or let Reggie know I'm not coming here anymore!" Joshua walks away with long strides, cursing even the tenth generation of the Guedes and Soares families.Bruno is outraged by the rookie's ou
The next day, Wednesday, Reginaldo opens the door of one of the suites at Mendonça Manor (it was Aline's old room) and is startled to see Anestor sleeping naked on his stomach, leaving his ugly butt very visible to our disgusted hero."ANESTOR!"The flustered butler gets up with fright, and with the absence of blankets, he can only cover himself with his hands. His face was red with embarrassment."Master! You're back!""Do you want me to stay forever in the capital so you can feel comfortable here?" Reginaldo scolds him harshly, "Why are you demeaning my girlfriend's old room?"When remembering that there is an Aline Mendonça in the world, Anestor is displeased and immediately thinks about getting her into trouble, "I'm sorry, master, but as I had no one to take care of... that's why I felt at ease."But Reginaldo shakes his head, "What do you mean, you were left alone?"Anestor smirks but tries to be cynical, "Didn't you hear? The young madam spent her days at her best friend's apar
Marianne is nervous and indecisive. Should she answer her cell phone and talk to Taddeo while her daughter is getting ready? What if she catches her? How to explain that Taddeo was her first love and will be her next husband after the divorce takes place?Not wanting to waste time, she decides to answer, "Taddeo?"At Taddeo's apartment, he's all worried, "Honey, I read the tabloid!"Marianne rolls her eyes, "Taddeo, I didn't know you took to reading such cheap and popular content."Taddeo smiles slightly, "Always my refined and classy girl. But I read because now and then we have reliable information. Or was it fake news that Antonio overturned the table at the Brisa do Mar coffee shop where Laura had breakfast?"Marianne trembles again in panic, "This time you got it right. He... Tony wanted to know from Laura where I was.""I'm sorry, Marianne." Taddeo's voice is tender and compassionate, "I wish I was there to protect you...""Taddeo, don't stress. You already had a stroke.""And h
At Gomes Estates, George enters the company and immediately sees Sabrina's place empty. He looks to the side and sees Bruno calmly drinking a glass of water from the water fountain."The secretary can't walk today and is absent again?" George asks without preamble.Bruno chokes on the last sip and coughs violently.George crosses his arms, "Are you aware that the owner of this company is back?"Bruno clears his throat dramatically and tosses the plastic cup into the bin, "Really? I didn't get any information for my email. I think Reggie wanted to surprise you."George narrows his eyes, eyeing Bruno suspiciously. Could it be that Reginaldo didn't warn him that he would be returning today, precisely with Joshua threatening to denounce his girlfriend?"Where's Joshua?" Bruno still has the nerve to casually ask, "I told you I wanted him here at the firm under my eye and interacting with the other realtors.""And I said Joshua is waiting for me at Café Montanha." George defiantly responds,
Reginaldo shows up at Gomes Estates and, like George, he doesn't find Sabrina in her post as secretary. George appears from the corridor and immediately approaches his best friend."Reggie! I'm so glad you came! You won't believe it...""I need to believe. I know you wouldn't lie to me." Reggie jokes."OK, so get ready for that bombshell: Sabrina didn't come!"Reginaldo breaks the smile, "She was absent again because of... that reason?"George crosses his arms, "I thought it was quite a 'coincidence' that she was unable to walk just today when you were coming back from the capital to fire her.""Who's talking about firing?" Bruno appears as if nothing had happened.Reginaldo takes charge of the situation. His gaze is icy and his voice is like, "Where's Joshua?""He's at Café Montanha, waiting for me." George looks at his cell phone, "And I better go, my client is waiting for me.""Go on, George, bring me that sale. Then, have him speak to me in my office." Reginaldo commands.George n
At Gomes Estates, Bianca enters feeling like the queen of Egypt. But she notices Sabrina's absence and immediately guesses the reason."Sabrina will end up 100% paraplegic if she keeps dating Mr. Castelo... at least if she goes with a worthy hottie like George..."Carla appears like magic and quickly lashes out at the aroused realtor, "What about my fiancé, you slut?"Bianca smiles defiantly, "Carla, you need to get used to women praising your boyfriend's good looks. If you don't want to get jealous, get engaged to an ugly guy!""And leave my handsome one for bastards like you? Never!" Carla asserts with her arms crossed.The door to Reginaldo's office opens and he appears, "Ah, ladies, I'm glad you showed up. Carla, George told me you were doing a favor.""Reggie, are you aware of the attack Laura Ferreira suffered in Brisa do Mar?" Carla informs him, "Mrs. Ferreira filed for divorce and left the house. Mr. Ferreira asked Laura if she knew where her mother was. I didn't hear their vo
