Reginaldo arrives at the Ferreira Hotel and smiles like a boy about to play a prank."Today the rogue is going to have another heart attack!" He speaks through his teeth, amid the in-and-out of guests.Upon entering the lobby, the same receptionist is already picking up the phone to warn Antonio, but Reginaldo gestures at him."No need to keep warning, my friend. He's waiting for me.""Sir, it's customary to inform the hotel owner who is going to visit him." The boy responds, apprehensive."I'm not going to kill him or harm him. You can search me if you want." Reginaldo opens his arms as if he already has someone to do it.The receptionist smiles and capitulates, "OK, but then don't mention me.""Never! I think we'll see each other more often." Reginaldo thanks him with a nod and enters the corridors to Antonio's room.Antonio was taking a pill prescribed by the doctor to recover from his cardiac arrest. But when Reginaldo enters his office, Antonio gets a fright and spits out the wat
Reginaldo is amused to see Antonio all disconcerted. Three years ago, it was the old man who had intimidated him with the threat of arrest if he didn't marry Laura. Now it's Reggie who calls the shots as the former bully trembles with fear.Antonio sits back down and tries to regain control of the situation, "Reggie, it's true that I talked to my daughter, but we didn't agree. She just threw up her demands and left.""Of course, because you don't talk civilly: people must impose themselves, otherwise, you control everything, as you always have." Reginaldo asserts."Where do you get these observations from?" Antonio plays the victim, "I'm always defending myself from your absurdities, trying to clean up the mess you make, and I'm considered the villain.""About Laura and I bumping into each other at the nightclub, that was between her and me." Reginaldo loses patience, "You weren't supposed to get involved, damn it.""Laura is my daughter. If I don't interfere, I'm an absentee father.
Fábio Seara did not immediately buy the information that Antonio Ferreira recommended Reginaldo to be hired as a bellboy, "What is this? You, so strong and willing, want this type of work? How do you know Mr. Ferreira?" "I'm a friend of his daughter, Miss Laura Ferreira." Reginaldo enters the HR office and closes the door. Fábio smiles slightly, "Boy, you could be one of our porters. I can tell from here that you have strength in those arms." Reginaldo is startled by the recruiter's sharp observation. He was still in his jacket! He sits across from him, "Whatever, the fact is, I need a job." "And did you bring your documents, Mr...?" "Reginaldo Silva." Reginaldo places the wallet with the documents on Fábio's desk. Fábio takes the documents and examines them, "It seems that everything is in order." But when he gets his work card... "Oh, but you don't have any experience in the Hotel area. In fact, you don't have any experience at all!" "I worked as a popsicle vendor on the beac
Reginaldo returns home satisfied with his hiring at Ferreira Hotel. He finds Antenor ironing clothes on a board he has placed in his room."Hello, master. Here are your clean and ironed clothes." He hands over some clothes, "How was it at the hotel?"Reginaldo shrugs and picks up the clothes, "Well, I didn't expect them to hire me as manager on the first day, right? Looks like I'll start at the bottom, as a porter."Anestor wiggles, "Master doesn't seem to want to turn around and always be low-key!"Reginaldo sits on Anestor's bed, "Have patience, Anestor. Don't you see that things are changing for the better?""Do you mean Mistress Laura?" Anestor focuses on a dress shirt, "I still thought you should give Miss Mendonça a chance."Reginaldo stares at the clothes, "I don't know, she never showed that she was interested in me. She was too depressed to think about love. That's why I wanted to help her love herself first, and then love someone else. Bruno texted me, stating that she had h
Aline and Bianca were in Saint Gabriel selling the apartment to the client. However, Aline was not at ease.She and Bianca had studied the apartment beforehand and had valuable information that could convince the client to buy it.Yet why did she get the feeling that Bianca was pushing her to the sidelines?Every time Aline started to say something important, Bianca would cut her off, as in this example:The customer asks, "Is it usually noisy here at night?"Aline begins, "The neighborhood has—""A surveillance and night patrol system that inhibits excesses from noisy neighbors." Bianca interrupts her but continues to smile at the client.The client smiles pityingly for Aline, "What about public services? I seem to have seen the elementary school for my children."Aline begins, "The school—""It's highly recommended. In 2019 a student from that school took first place in the UFES entrance exam, it even came out on the Internet." Bianca does it again.But Aline doesn't give up, "The n
Aline wants to know why Bianca has changed from a good friend to a hostile viper, not realizing that Bianca was hostile to her from the first second the two were introduced.But Bianca is only overcome with outrage and retreats to the back of the real estate office, bumping into her shoulder."Ouch, you—" Aline was about to curse, but Carla comes down the corridor."Hi, friend! So, did you manage to make another sale?"Aline goes to the drinking fountain and gets herself a glass of water, "Who closed the sale? I don't know. I think I'll have to talk to Mr. Castelo or the girl will take all the commission for herself!"Carla tastes gall on her tongue, "I knew that little minx was not to be trusted!"Aline was going to drink, but left the glass still in the air with the surprise, "Did you know? Why didn't you tell me, friend? How did I not notice?"Carla smiles to reassure her, "You're a good person, my friend, you only see the good in people. Although girls like Bianca rarely have a go
Laura was waiting anxiously at the Brisa do Mar coffee shop.Today was the big day when she would announce to Eduardo that they would never have adulterous relations again.She had decided to support her husband Reginaldo as he struggled to work at her family's hotel. In the future, with Reggie's talent and charisma, he would grow in bigger positions until he could inherit the hotel.In the meantime, she would idly remain married to a hottie hubby, and who knows, become a mother.Eduardo enters the cafeteria and goes straight to her, "Laura, stop clowning around, you're already scaring me."Laura jolts, "You're the one scaring me. Can't you help being less reckless and possessive?"Eduardo sits down and picks up the menu, "I'm not possessive. I just show you that you're mine." He gestures and a waitress approaches, "See me two cappuccinos.""I don't want anything," Laura responds dryly."Two cappuccinos and two natural sandwiches. Thank you." Eduardo insists with a graceful smile, but
Eduardo is offended when he hears Laura mercilessly laugh at him for getting wrong what she wanted to say.The waitress brings the order and he realizes that only one cappuccino came. As she was about to leave, he grabbed her wrist possessively, "You useless one, didn't I tell you I wanted two cappuccinos?"Laura stops laughing on the spot and orders him, "Eddie, let go of the waitress's wrist! She understood that I didn't want to drink anything."Eduardo released her wrist just because everyone was still looking. The waitress hastily goes behind the counter and whispers to her colleagues to be ready to call the police.Meanwhile, Laura takes a deep breath to calm herself after cackling, "You're royally wrong, Ed. I'm not pregnant, but I'm likely to be one day. I started having sex with my husband."Eduardo was going to drink the first sip of cappuccino, but he is shocked by the information and does 'pfff', comically spitting out the sip. The waitress giggles with her colleagues.Afte
