Mark and Karl enter their office, the latter closing the door.“Mark, I wanted to first say that I—”“Can you tell me if ‘Colorful Kisses’ needs more external scenes?” Mark interrupted Karl on purpose, not wanting to talk about the fight between Luana and Briana.Karl swallowed dryly, surprised, before replying, “Uh... I think they’ll need... in the future. Luana is in charge, remember that.”“Well, maybe I can ask Celia if she knows anything about it.” Mark sits at the desk while baiting.Karl snapped at him. “Celia is very busy sleeping with the actors over there.”Mark sneered. “I thought Celia was merely assisting the actresses. Do you mean that...” He pretended to hold his breath in shock. “Celia crossed to the other side?”“That’s what happens when she’s slept with too many men!” Karl exploded, heading to his desk.Mark shook his head. “Ah, buddy...”“What’s the matter, WHAT’S THE MATTER?!” Karl was about to explode mentally.“You really need to keep a lid on that future wife of

Luana had an indifferent look and tone as she replied, “What happened to those women was totally out of the ordinary, an absurdity, a cruelty. That’s why people were shocked and took pity on the victims. But, with Celia, it’s different.”Mary Ellen pointed a finger. “EVERYONE felt pity and compassion for Celia!”Luana smiled cruelly, indicating that she DIDN'T pity Celia.******In the studios of Colorful Kisses, Jake worried about the vengeful stance Celia took when speaking about Luana.He shook his head. “Celia, I ask you with all my heart to forget all this.”Celia widened her eyes, indignant. “Huh? Jake, after everything that damn thing did to me, how do you expect me to forget it all like that, out of the blue?”“I’m worried about you.” Jake frowned. “I don’t want Mark Ferro and Briana Ferro to lose the favor they have of you.”“Do you think they’ll defend that damned friend? I’m confident they’ll understand my side.” Celia smiled.Jake sighed. “Let’s do this: we’ll take care of

Karl made a disgusted face. “I’m not Celia who lived to ‘help’ you with your lines! I’m a man!”“If you hadn’t told me, I would never know!” Jake taunted, unafraid of danger.“Listen here, buddy, we need to talk about the party—”“No, no, NO!” Jake gestured furiously, removing the medieval knight costume. “Celia and I have already talked about this. WE’RE NOT GOING to your ridiculous engagement party!”Karl couldn’t control his anger after hearing what he didn’t want and SLAMMED Jake’s dressing-table mirror.******“CELIA!” Mary Ellen exclaimed, indignantly. “You don’t have to yield to your enemy’s whims!”Celia sensed something was off, frowning. “Did you argue with her, Mary Ellen?”Mary Ellen glared at Luana.Luana smiled triumphantly, understanding what Celia was getting at.“Yes, I’m in the little coffee break room with her. She said Briana and Mark vetoed having the party at their house because they refused to veto you from the party.”Celia felt her heart warm at Mark and Brian

Katrina burst into the office, huffing like a Spanish cow.“WHAT’S THIS? A high-society party and I wasn’t invited?”Gilson clutched his chest, pretending to have a heart attack.“Jeez, are you trying to send me back to the hospital? And careful with the paneling on my door.”Katrina slammed the script down on her father’s desk with all the rage in the world. “This is unacceptable! Forget the damn paneling and focus on your daughter, Dad!”Claudia smiled at Gilson as if to say, ‘Now you handle it’.Gilson took a deep breath and dropped his hand from his chest.“My dear daughter, what did I tell you before about your stunts and their consequences?”Katrina shook her head. “I’m not a little girl anymore to be grounded. I don’t deserve this kind of punishment.”Gilson scratched his earlobe. “The thing is, people are hesitant to have you around because of the things you’ve said or done.”“I was a victim of that bastard Sodré, Dad!” Katrina shouted. “No one has the right to punish me for t

Briana raised her eyebrows. “Yes, I believe it. How did he cut himself?”Luana tilted her head, a bit distracted. “Which means we’re not making love tonight...” She snapped out of it. “Er... What did you say? How did he cut himself? Well... I don’t think he told me.”Briana pressed her lips together, disappointed with her friend.“If it was a workplace accident or something more serious, it should’ve been reported to me.”“If you weren’t informed, then it must’ve been something that happened to him alone.” Luana smiled with relief. “And have you heard the big news?”“Yes. Celia declined the invitation.” Briana’s voice turned cold. “Exactly what I predicted happened.”“Brie, that proves Celia can’t be trusted. She probably wanted to crash my party just to create some scandal or embarrassment. But since she got a formal invitation, she lost interest.” Luana pounced. “That’s why you and Mark should stop treating her like a friend.”“We have no proof that Celia intended to do anything bad
