In the capital, in the upscale neighborhood called Praia do Canto, there was a five-story commercial building where the headquarters of Fabray Real Estate operated.The headquarters of the real estate network was where the Fabray family met to work and discuss different ways of earning money.It's in this place where avarice, envy, and conspiracy between corridors and private offices ran rampant.In the office of one of them, Matias Neves was calm in his office calling another one of his numerous clients. The young man was plain-looking, not as dazzling as Reginaldo, but not too ugly not to deserve Reginaldo's sister's love."Yes, sir, you won't regret the decision. The house is at a good price, and we can facilitate the payment. Let's meet at ten in the morning at the gate... OK, I'll wait for you there."Matias adjusts his glasses and adds the client to his electronic address book via his cell phone. As he takes notes, the door opens and Anestor enters."Master Neves..."Matias rais
Anestor has already told Matias the story of Reginaldo and how they discovered that his cousins are sending Bartolomeo poisoned chocolates. Matias is shocked by the revelation."This is absurd, Anestor!" Matias gets angry, "We need to call the police.""No, no police." Anestor nods, "Master Fabray wants to settle this in his way. First, we needed to gather evidence that there was something wrong with these bonbons. Have you seen Master Fabray these days?"Matias nods, "Yes, after months at home, he showed up here the day before yesterday, surprising us all.""It was the cumulative effect that was slowly killing him." Anestor asserts, "With Young Master Fabray's father out of harm's way, he can take care of the problem that lies down there in Sunset Village.""Poor Reggie." Matias scratches the back of his head, "Too bad he got involved in this mess.""Don't underestimate your brother-in-law, Master Neves." Anestor smiles, "He's already breaking the shackles. Soon he'll be back here,
Anestor meets Reginaldo hours later at the Brisa do Mar coffee shop. The popsicle vendor notices the butler's two suitcases.Anestor giggles with Reginaldo's swim trunks, "Master, you must win the hearts of your female clients and ignite the ire of their husbands."Reginaldo gives a naughty little smile, "I don't deny that this makes it easier for me. Let's go inside.""Will they let you in like that?" Anestor is scandalized."Anestor, this coffee shop is by the sea, the owners don't just expect customers to be strict."Indeed, when Anestor entered, he noticed that other customers were also in bathing suits.The gentlemen sit down and talk about what to do."I already thought of a story, Anestor, but I urgently need your cooperation.""If I don't cooperate, master, you must drown me on this beach," Anestor responds like a faithful Labrador.But Reginaldo snaps the fingers of his right hand, "You see, that's the point. You're gonna have to stop calling me 'master' in front of Laura."A
Anestor and Reginaldo enter the Ferreira house. They are very reassured to see that Laura is not."I'm glad Laura isn't here. By the time she arrives, you've already taken off that expensive suit." Reginaldo points to the butler's costume."How should I proceed, master?" Anestor scratches the back of his head with his free hand."Make yourself comfortable, Anestor." Reginaldo has the butler's other suitcase, "Let's go to your room.""This house has a maid's room, but you never had one?" Anestor finds it funny."For you to see how we were never a normal couple." Reginaldo goes down the hall and Anestor follows him laughing.As they enter the rectangular room, Anestor purses his lips."My room at the Fabray Residence is bigger.""Claim it to my father, Anestor." Reginaldo puts the suitcase on his bed, "I can't give you one of the guest rooms.""Do you mean I can clean the house in swimming trunks just like you?" Anestor jokes while taking off his suit.Reginaldo laughs and gives him a l
The weekend passed and with it, Antonio Ferreira's recovery. On Monday, the doctor who had seen him had declared the good news."Mr. Ferreira, you will be discharged today.""God be praised!" Antonio exclaims, making Marianne roll her eyes. From the way Antonio leads his life, it doesn't seem like he believes in God."Okay, I'll fill out the necessary paperwork so I can release you." The doctor smiles, "Just follow the recommendations: no stress, delegate the work to your kids, avoid salt and trans fat that your body will thank you for.""Thank you, Doctor, for saving my life." Antonio is almost crying."From now on, it's up to you." The doctor leaves.Marianne leans back in bed and whispers after the doctor leaves, "Now when we get home you can tell me what really happened!"Antonio pretends to be dumb, "Are you blind, woman? I had a cardiac arrest and spent days in the medical clinic. By the way, yesterday you didn't come to see your convalescent husband, where were you?"Marianne d
Antonio and Marianne arrive at the family mansion. Although the building is not old, the way it was built made the neighbors think it was a 19th-century building.Both the exterior and interior of the mansion are dominated by red, brown, orange, navy blue, and other colors that leave the place dark, gloomy and macabre as if they were on a horror movie set.With this appearance, Antonio and Marianne are forced to leave the lights on during the day, which results in a more expensive electric bill than the entire block.The main maid approaches them and takes Antonio's suit, "It's a pleasure to have you back, Mr. Ferreira. Mrs. Ferreira, we've already washed the towel and your beach wrap."Marianne is astonished and Antonio shoots her with his eyes. Answer: Marianne spent Sunday at the beach without worrying about him in the hospital."Let's go to the master suite." Antonio grumbles.He manages to climb the flight of stairs on his own, while his wife follows with her head down.In the eq
Laura doesn’t even think for ten seconds before answering with a smile, "But of course, I’ll want a butler for us, dear! If he’s willing to clean the house for a low salary, who am I to disagree with him?"Reginaldo grinned at his wife’s sarcasm, "Don’t talk like that. Anestor is no steward of wealthy families. He used to live in Rainbow Garden, and now he’s staying in the maid’s room that was never used. Don’t expect him to use Tuxedo and keep calling you ma'am.""I also didn’t expect him to just be wearing shorts when cleaning the stair railing, but that’s fine," Laura smirks as she remembers the beautiful sight.Reginaldo realizes that the wife is in heat and hugs her, "I have seen that you got carried away with the butler. What about your lover?""Why do you have to spoil the moment by mentioning Eduardo?" Laura bites her lower lip, placing her hand on Reginaldo’s towel, threatening to tear it off."Because I’m never gonna understand what you saw in that skinny guy when you’re mar
Laura and Reginaldo are extremely fatigued after the intense and insane activity in the marital bed. It looked like they made up for three years of abstinence this morning."Reggie..." Laura nestles in her husband’s wide breastplate, "It could be like this forever.""Are you willing to abandon your lover and be my real wife?" Reginaldo asks looking at the ceiling."Are you willing to give up the mediocre job of selling popsicles and be my real husband?" Laura doesn’t miss a chance to touch the wound."Touché." Reginaldo jokes, "Laura, you know my job makes me good money.""There’s one more point to this work of yours." Laura insists, "You go out to sell your popsicles wearing tiny swim trunks. I’m sure a lot of female freaks just buy a popsicle to get a closer look at you and try something. You say you don’t care, but you can’t say the same about them."Reginaldo laughs to see that he managed to arouse jealousy in his wife, "That’s true, Laura. Many of them make immoral jokes with the
