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
In Eduardo's suite, Denise is baffled by her friend asking her why she wants to leave. So Denise thought it best to vent her feelings.She closes one of the suitcases, takes a deep breath, and fires off the first question, "Are you up from your coma just now?""I don't know what coma you're talking about." Eduardo approaches dangerously, frowning."Yes, you're awake from your coma now." Denise dismisses him, "Didn't you see that report of Mr. Ferreira vandalizing the Brisa do Mar coffee shop.""Is that a question or a statement?""Are we speaking the same language?" Denise snaps impatiently.Eduardo ponders for a few seconds, "OK. Yes, I read the tabloids. Tony turn over one table where Laura was sitting with someone I don't know.""It was the hot, virile employee I told you about." Denise smiles excitedly like a teenager, "Surely after that incident he took Laura to 'comfort' her in his bed."Eduardo rages, "Stop being a pervert and explain to me what's going on! I don't care about s
At Matias and Natalia’s apartment, the pregnant woman is helped to come under the care of her husband and parents. Natalia swears she's better, but they don't budge a millimeter."I swear, guys!" Natalia laughs at the extreme care of the staff, "I'm better than ever. My blood pressure has never been more normal than before.""Your blood pressure is normal because you're surrounded by people who love you." Sylvia comments, "And when you're around good things...""I know, I know..." Natalia sits on the couch, right where she was found passed out, "I'm going to avoid tabloids and social media.""We'll post a lot when our son is born." Matias responds with emotion, "But as for using our cell phone for gossip and intrigue, I completely agree with you."Sylvia and Bartolomeo face each other and once again communicate with each other's eyes, like the in-tune couple that they are. But this time, Matias realizes it.Sylvia leans over to Natalia and tries to lift her, "Daughter, I know you just
At Matias's apartment, Bartolomeo decides to tell his son-in-law what he discovered."Matias, Natalia told you that a clueless friend of hers told lies about Aline according to what she read in the tabloids." Bartolomeo clears his throat, "But that's not true. We know who the gossiping person was and we need to clarify this matter."Matias is surprised, "But you are angry about this. Is it really necessary?""We are concerned about the health of our daughter and grandson. And it was someone close to us who made up the slurs." Bartolomeo answers.Matias widens his eyes, "Who was it? If I can take matters into my own hands..."Bartolomeo smiles, "Do you want to, Matias? After all, you are the husband, you would have every right to avenge your wife. Well, it was Anestor who made Natty faint."Matias is furious and was about to explode like a volcano, but he remembered that Sylvia took Natalia to her room so that she wouldn't find out about it."But, Bart... Why did Natty say otherwise?"
Carla thinks she heard wrong. Bianca just accused her of talking about Laura around Aline on purpose, to hurt her best friend."Bianca, I really think you should focus on your best, which is selling real estate." Carla states with her arms crossed, "Being a witch is not your forte. You don't have the tricks of a soap opera villain.""And who said I want to be a villain?" Bianca counters."OK, so just answer me one thing: what do you and Sabrina get for picking on Joshua Dantas?" Carla asks the million-dollar question.And Bianca would lose because she just went mute."That's what I thought." Carla answers her own question with a refined look of contempt, "You are a bitter woman who only feels happiness when faced with the sadness of others. I cannot imagine you as the excellent professional who has worked here since the 2000s.""If you don't believe my resume—""I can't believe an excellent professional would come here with such a petty and troublesome attitude!" Carla asserts, interr
