Pedro returned from Downtown to the Teodoro Building.Beto was waiting for him to talk about something he needed to know."Hi, Dad. What's with the look?" Pedro was taken aback by his father's somber expression."Son, I hope you don't get discouraged. I know how much you want Daniela as your wife." Beto begins to speak, first checking something on the computer."This can wait." Pedro shuts off the monitor."You're right." Beto goes to the radio and adjusts the station. The song "Shut Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol echoed through the lobby."What's the problem?" Pedro swallowed hard."I talked to your future father-in-law and he's not willing to accept you," Beto summarized the conversation."What did he say?" Pedro's eyes widened, "But this can't be serious! Why would he refuse?""He doesn't want his princess living in the building forever." Beto gestures around the room."HE can live here, why can't she?" Pedro tries to see the logic."Son, every father wants the best for his daughter. Fo

Angela and Karen were in Angel's store office.However, Karen was not in the same mood as her friend. Not after she found out that Kelvin welcomed the new neighbor..."How is Kelvin?""Tell Quantium Agency that I approve the idea for the new commercial for our store," Angela replied without thinking about the last question."Did you hear me?" Karen thought Angela was doing this on purpose."Huh?" Angela raised her eyes from the laptop to her, "Oh, you asked about Kelvin Mountain?""Cut the last name, there’s no need to be so formal." Karen crossed her arms and sarcastically smiled."Karen, if you're insinuating that something is going on between me and Mr. Mountain, forget it." Angela continued typing on the laptop, showing she was working, "Mr. Mountain and I just talked as neighbors. He hasn't seen me anymore.""Not because he wanted to avoid you, right?" Karen probed her boss."I think that's what he wants," Angela impatiently replied, "Otherwise, he'd have reached out or called me

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio approaches Benjamin at the entrance of the kitchen. In the back, the chefs are working hard to serve lunch."Speak, Manager Cogo," Benjamin wipes the sweat from his forehead."Today you were cooking, Chef Teixeira?" Eugenio asks jokingly."Yes, sometimes I need to get my hands dirty to show the newcomers how it's done," Benjamin smiles."You're good friends with David Rocha, right?" Eugenio asks curiously."Yes, the poor boy doesn't have a happy life around here. He has some issues with Alan and Reuben, but I try to ignore it and help him avoid problems," Benjamin replies."Tell that to Mr. Rocha." Eugenio's smile fades, "When he was here and I handed him the report, Mr. Rocha implied that David didn't deserve to be in the hotel. I had called David earlier and he showed up precisely at that moment. A little more, and the two half-brothers would have come to blows in my office.""That's a big problem," Benjamin scratches his head."That's why I wanted to kno

At the Rocha Hotel, Luís is surprised by the presence of David acting as a bellboy in the hallways, pushing a cart with luggage towards one of the VIP suites."David, what are you doing here? My cousin mentioned an engagement party for someone related to your father," Luís asked, astonished.David sneers, "Don't bother. I wasn't invited.""I don't understand...""The fiancé was raised by my father for many years as if he were his own son. And his father is dating the mother whose son is engaged to my little sister," David explains didactically, "So, to prevent the party from being ruined, they barred me.""Your sister's fiancé is Reuben Freire, your father's secretary," Luís smiles, "I'm getting in with some interesting people.""Believe me, Reuben Freire is not interesting at all. We risk a gas leak at the Rocha Mansion every day." David shakes his head, once again alluding to the tragic death of Uélton."Okay, but I heard you're getting promoted. Do you understand your new role?" Lu

Angela was enjoying the evening alone in her apartment.The doorbell rang.Curious, Angela got up and went to the door, "Who is it?""Your wonderful neighbor!"Angela smiled widely as she recognized Kelvin's voice.Upon opening the door, Kelvin was surprised by the warm reception."Wow, what's with the big smile?""I needed someone." Angela made room for Kelvin to enter."Thanks. I'm glad to be of help as a helpful neighbor." Kelvin sits on the couch.Angela closes the door and approaches him, shaking her head. "Don't do that. You didn't come interested in being a helpful neighbor.""I didn't?" Kelvin asks, seemingly surprised."No." Angela sits in the armchair, "You came to start a relationship with me."Kelvin stifles a laugh."What's so funny?" Angela is in a good mood, sending flirtatious looks to him, "You're a handsome man and you've been giving me a lot of attention. Something Melissa would hate to know.""Why do we need to bring Melissa into this conversation?" Kelvin loses so
