At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan decided to take advantage of everyone being gathered at breakfast to ask a question."Erasmo, is Luis Vasquez any relation of yours? He left a resume at the hotel."Sofia immediately choked on the coffee she was drinking, "Cough, cough, cough...!"Alan gently patted her back, "Are you fine, dear?""Thank you..." Sofia sighed in relief, blushing and looking at her father.Erasmo, however, seemed unaffected by his daughter's distress and casually replied, "Yes, Alan. Luis is my nephew, my younger brother's son who lives in Victoria. He's having trouble finding a job there. The situation is getting difficult.""Yes, Victoria is not a very big capital and many people from the surrounding cities need to go there to work, increasing the competition for a job. Meanwhile, our city just keeps growing." Alan smiled, "Okay, if Gene Cogo has no objection, he will be hired as a supervisor to replace Lauro."Olivia grinned, "Thank you, Alan. Hey, is it true what they sa

Luís was now at Café Montanha, getting to know the place to mingle with the surroundings of Lagoon City.Neilton approached him with a cup of coffee with cream and mint and cubes of green corn cake."Looks delicious," Luís smiled at the waiter."Are you new around here?" Neilton asked curiously."I’m new in town and this café, but you guys have gained a new patron!" Luís tried a piece of cake and his eyes lit up."I'm glad you liked it. Feel free to make yourself at home," Neilton smiled and walked away.Olivia appeared in the café and recognized her nephew by his muscular back.She held back from being obvious. After all, Rodrigo and Neilton were nearby and could catch her.Approaching her nephew, she sat down without waiting for an invitation. "Hi, Luís! So, did you get the job as a hotel supervisor?"The question was so loud that Rodrigo and Neilton heard it from the counter.Luís almost choked on the coffee he was drinking. "Hi, aunt. I haven't received an answer yet, but I'm conf

Josias was peacefully enjoying a pool Sunday, soaking up the sun while the children played in the water. After Brazil's gold medal in swimming at the Olympics, it seems like everyone wants to be a professional swimmer."I won!" Ignacio shouted."No, I won!" Mary exclaimed."We can discuss this with the referee." Henrique turned to Josias, "Mr. Rocha, who won?"Josias smiled, "The one crossed the finish line first. Nacho."Mary didn't like it very much but had to settle for the silver medal.Melissa approached wearing a modest yet elegant swimsuit, made by Vasconcelos Fabrics."And how are the kids behaving? Were the swimming lessons worth it?" She asked, sitting on the lounge chair next to them."Speaking of swimming lessons made me remember Claudio Guzman." Josias smiled."I wonder how he's doing in Europe." Melissa narrows her eyes."Probably making those movies that won't come to Brazil." Josias's smile faded."It's a shame. Carol really liked him." Melissa sighed and looked at the

Angela opens the door to her apartment for Karen. The model, in addition to being an employee, seems to have become friends with her boss.Karen nodded to the sound of "Love Like This" by Natasha Bedingfield & Sean Kingston."Wow, you settled in here quickly, huh?" Karen looked around, "The television is missing.""I'm going to buy a more modern, flat-screen one." Angela proudly announced, "So, what do you think?""This apartment suits your charisma and power." Karen sits on the sofa not realizing it belonged to the previous owner, "A store chain owner needs a matching residence.""Thank you." Angela smiles satisfied with the compliment, "And do you know who was here hours earlier?"Karen's eyes light up with curiosity. "Don't tell me you've already met a hot neighbor to fill this apartment with kids!"Angela was momentarily embarrassed, but continued, "I don't know if he'll still give me children. He is over forty, but still handsome and seductive. Indeed, he told me that I need to f

Hamilton watched his daughter playfully after dinner with Pedro. And a slight sadness hit his heart."Dad, dinner was amazing, we ate top-notch portions of pasta, and Chef Teixeira was very dedicated to bringing the best dishes. It seems like he's in love with one of the cooks," Daniela narrated dreamily.Hamilton just nodded.Daniela noticed the sinister silence, "Am I just going to keep blabbering nonstop?"Hamilton decided to speak up, "OK. Do you want to know my opinion, daughter?""Yes, Dad." Daniela sat beside him."I think you deserve more than being the wife of an apartment building owner for rent, located in a slum," Hamilton opined, looking deeply at his daughter.Daniela was taken aback. "Huh? What's this all about, Dad?""That's right, daughter. You're in love with someone who's going to stay here, managing this place, when you should take the opportunity to broaden your horizons." Hamilton took Daniela's hands.Daniela was puzzled. "Dad, I don't understand you. Pete is no
