In Reginaldo's office, Aline is stunned to hear George accuse her of smashing the window of her rival's store."George, by what right do you accuse me of vandalizing my rival's store?"George chuckles sarcastically, "You just answered my question: 'rival'. You still consider Laura Ferreira your competitor."Reginaldo raises one of his eyebrows, "Aline, is this true?""Sure!" Aline turns to him, "My love, I'll never be calm while that shameless woman is completely away from us!"George asks, "Were you listening to our conversation?"Aline throws him a mocking glance, "I was going to enter, but I heard my holy name.""We're just guessing, dear." Reginaldo tries to calm her down, "I think it was Antonio.""No one was supposed to think about anything!" Aline asserts, "Laura Ferreira should be out of our lives.""Dream on, my dear." George mockingly responds, "I just happened to take the lease on that store. Laura Ferreira is my client and my fiancée's channel subscriber. And Mrs. Ferreira
In Reginaldo's office, Aline and George are embarrassed to fight in front of him.George clears his throat unnecessarily, "Don't worry, buddy. I was rude to suggest your girlfriend was to blame." He turns to her, "A thousand pardons."George had his back to Reginaldo. Only Aline saw his mocking face."I forgive you." Aline wryly responds, "I just don't know if I forgive your fiancée interacting with my rival."George chuckles, "There you go again with that 'rival' talk! Aline, forget about it. I've been talking to Laura Ferreira and she doesn't even mention Reggie anymore.""She doesn't mention it in front of you." Aline crosses her arms, "Surely she must be up to her wiles with her old mother."George drops the smile, "Respect Marianne.""MARIANNE?" Aline retorts in astonishment, "What kind of intimacy is that?"Not wanting to expose his father, George lowers his head, "None of your business. Reggie, I'll meet Laura to check out the vandalism damage."George hastily leaves. Aline is
At Gomes Estates, Reginaldo and Bruno start talking about what happens at the company."As I was saying before being grossly interrupted," Bruno begins, "Sabrina Guedes no longer belongs to our staff. When do you want me to start selecting the next candidates?"Reginaldo frowns, "If possible, even today. But I need to ask you something.""Speak up, sir!"Reginaldo sits down and invites Bruno to do the same with a gesture."Today I noticed Aline and George treating each other with some animosity." Reginaldo leans back in his chair and crosses his fingers, "Now I see how sour your tone was when you said 'grossly interrupted'. It was Aline who expressed herself about the breakup of your inappropriate relationship. Why do you think Aline was rude?""I don't think, Reginaldo." Bruno responds sourly, "I know."Reginaldo takes a deep breath, "I'm finding it strange that so many men are against my girlfriend.""Boss, I was always against her coming back from the beginning." Bruno gestures, "T
Reginaldo can't accept seeing so much hatred for Aline. What's happening with the world?"I think I understand why Aline is such a complicated girl." Reginaldo counters, "It's impossible to lead a normal life when everyone just accuses and points the finger. That was the life she led with her parents, and now, with the others outside. I brought Aline here because I thought she could benefit from meeting new people."Bruno stands up, "Sir, I definitely don't want to get into debates with you about Miss Mendonça. You are free to sleep with whomever you want. My only concern is the good environment of our company. As well as getting rid of Sabrina, I might as well get rid of Aline if she causes trouble too."Reginaldo has an arrogant smile, "Don't worry, she won't get in trouble. On the contrary, maybe shortly, you'll be the one to apologize to her.""Let's see, the future only belongs to God." Bruno shrugs, "What's new besides Sabrina's resignation?"Reginaldo wanted to question him abo
Reginaldo cannot understand why Bruno feels "traumatized" by the death of Márcio Rios. He gets up and approaches the manager."It seems that Márcio's death affected you more than your appearance expresses, huh?" he asks cautiously."Reggie, I saw his family at the wake, how devastated they were." Bruno sniffs, "It's a miracle they didn't try to get revenge or sue us.""They should sue the hotel," Reginaldo suggests between giggles."Not a chance. Smart as Mr. Ferreira is, he would claim in court that Márcio was to blame for trying to imitate Hollywood action movie heroes."Reginald shrugs. This, unfortunately, cannot be ignored."Anyway, I hope the upcoming partnership can excite you. In the meantime, I'll talk Joshua into attending the company."Bruno smiles slightly, "I have an idea. I'm going to use this news as an excuse to arrange a meeting with all the realtors. That way, Joshua will appear.""Excellent, Bruno. Well, keep up the good work." Reginaldo looks at his wristwatch, "We
Bruno is calm in his office working as he should. He's typing the motivational speech for realtors to get excited and sell more Rocha Constructions properties.The door opens and George enters, "I'm back, Bruno.""I didn't even know you were out!" Bruno comments ironically."I needed to check Laura Fabrics' vandalism," George comments dryly."Oh, yes, we need to be careful about that, after all, the property is under our responsibility." Bruno stops typing and stares at George, "So how was it? Is she calm? Did the store have any stolen items?"George pulls up a chair to sit down, "Strangely, nothing was stolen. It looks like the person just wanted to break the window to get at Laura.""Get at her with what, exactly?" Bruno narrows his gaze, "The poor girl has already suffered enough, as far as I know. Being the daughter of a crazy hotelier and morally responsible for the death of our colleague..."George rolls his eyes. There goes Bruno mentioning Márcio again! "Let's not deviate from
The next day, Antonio is getting ready for another day at work, whistling and turning on the air conditioning in his office."Today I have to advertise in the newspaper looking for a manager for my hotel... or maybe I can promote someone! If that person is willing to sleep with me..."Ironically, the desk phone rings and he answers it, "Hello?""Mr. Ferreira, this is the front desk. There's a lady named Sabrina Guedes who claims she has a job interview scheduled with you for the position of secretary. Reginaldo Fabray's recommendation. Is that true?"Obviously, that wasn't true, but Antonio's curiosity got the better of him, "Send her through, it's true!""OK." The doorman hangs up.Antonio narrows his eyes. Who is the lady who comes from Reggie? Sabrina Guedes? He's never heard of the minx.He sits down at his desk and starts surfing the Internet. In the first tabloid he accesses, the news of the vandalism in Laura Fabrics raises his good mood."Oh, Laura... Ever since you walked awa
Bianca flies into a rage when she hears Joshua call her dumb. She strides into the room, "Hey, tell me who's the dumb one who won't bully you? You think you'll be spared my wrath?""What wrath, you crazy girl?" Joshua fiercely questions her, "You, as seen, haven't learned your lesson! You really are a hardened dumbass!""SHUT UP!" Bianca moves her hand to slap Joshua, but Bruno catches her in time."Hey, Bianca, don't do that!" Bruno pleads with her, "Sabrina is gone because of these messes, I don't want you to go too!""And you didn't need Sabrina, Mr. Castelo?!" Bianca asks outraged.Bruno shakes his head, "No, Sabrina was a mere secretary who will be replaced today. You, on the other hand, have been my realtor since the 2000s. Do you know the difference? You are the one who brings the money to the company, while Sabrina was just the expense!"Bianca gapes in horror at the thought of her boss. Then she tries to formulate the sentence, "But... but then... even if that were correct...
