At the Lafayette supermarket, Nadia is in the management office with countless matters to attend to, but she is smiling, sitting at the desk, massaging her belly as if she were six months pregnant.Rodrigo opens the door and finds her like this. He smiles, “Calm down, anxious mommy.”“Hello, future daddy.” Nadia smiles back, “I can only imagine the moment. I have so many things to resolve and authorize, but I...”“Honey, don’t you want your Dad to take control for now, until you have our baby?” Rodrigo pulls out another chair and sits next to her, “I believe it will become more difficult for you as the pregnancy progresses.”“Perhaps. Let’s think about it later.” Nadia straightens up in her chair, “You look like you came to tell me something.”“Yes!” Rodrigo grins, “Melissa wants me to model for the Cardozo Perfumes advertising campaign. Josias will get involved in the company as a form of support, just as he did with Vasconcelos Fabrics.”“I wasn’t here during the history of Vasconce

“An investigation into Miguel Damascene.” Dylan responds urgently, “Brigitte passed the job interview. She’ll work at Damascene Lawyers!”“Oh, but this is very good!” Amoreira smiles like every proud father, “Send me my congratulations for her.”“Dad, this isn’t funny.” Dylan complains, “Have you forgotten who I want you to investigate? Or will I have to act like a police officer?”Amoreira gets out of the chair and sits next to his girlfriend, “What do you plan to do as a police officer?”“As a man who executes the Law, I can warn him that he will be condemned the very second I hear my dear sister complain about being molested,” Dylan responds threateningly.Amoreira, however, chuckles. “He, he... No, my son. Don’t warn the lion. He would be more interested and tempted to bang your sister precisely because you warned him. That’s how these perverted scoundrels act.”“The problem is that Brigitte introduced herself as Caio’s girlfriend.” Dylan is discouraged, “Do you think she did the

At Crystal Blue, Caroline and Reuben see Felipe’s dilemma.“Poor Felipe.” Caroline laments, “He still can’t mix drinks with the same mastery as his mother.”“That proves he’s adopted.” Reuben scoffs, “He didn’t naturally inherit Diane Mountain’s talent.”“Reuben, that was uncalled.” Caroline rolls her eyes.“Let’s go. Suddenly I felt thirsty...” Reuben directs Caroline to the bar.Felipe trembles in his thighs as he sees the couple approaching. “Reuben, what are you doing here? Caroline is not of legal drinking age yet!”Reuben scowls, “And how do you know my girlfriend’s age?”Caroline shakes her head, “Reuben, please. The date of my birth is highlighted all over the Internet. It’s not something people don’t know about.”Felipe smiles ironically and continues preparin

Kelvin is shocked to see Felipe under the pool water.Without thinking twice, he runs, takes momentum, and dives into the pool to save his nephew, preventing him from committing the extreme act.However, upon emerging, Felipe reacts in surprise and even coughs up the pool water, “Cough, cough... Uncle Kelvin, what are you doing?”“You...” Kelvin narrows his gaze, “You were sinking into the pool...”“No!” Felipe starts laughing, “I was just diving!”Kelvin looks at Felipe suspiciously. Was he disguising it so his uncle wouldn’t think he wanted to kill himself?“Felipe, how was your day at work? Shouldn’t you be on night shift?”“I should.” Felipe gets out of the pool and sits on the edge, “But Reuben upset me with my making drinks skill and I stormed out.”Kelvin punches the water, “Damn! These people are crossing the line!”“Forget it, uncle.” Felipe shakes his head, “It’s not worth stressing over these people. I believe I’ll do everyone a great favor if I just resign.”“That’s what t

At Crystal Blue, Cláudio is talking to Josias in the new owner’s office. Josias notices the new decoration.“When you return the restaurant, Felipe will want to redecorate it to the old style in honor of his father.” Josias jokingly comments, “Do you want to bet?”“No, I don’t want.” Cláudio responds dryly, “In fact, I wanted to talk about the incapable kid.”Josias becomes serious and sits vis-a-vis. “What happened?”“Felipe definitely doesn’t have the skills to prepare drinks. Customers complain, Felipe drops glasses, the ingredients aren’t checked in advance... the other day, he discovered that there was no lemon just when he went to prepare the caipirinha.”“Oh, he promised to be excellent at managing the bar.” Josias is surprised, “What do you intend to do?”“Josias, I thought about handing over the restaurant to him.” Cláudio falsely insinuates, “But now, with this situation, how can I leave the most famous restaurant in Lagoon City in the hands of the kid? I need to stay here.”
