At Ibrahim Square, Felipe and Caroline are surprised by Cláudio’s interference. He’s wearing business clothes and a tie, not looking remotely like the sexy model who poses in only Speedos.“Mr. Guzman, what do you want now?” Felipe rolls his eyes.“I want to know why you’re late for work. Then you complain to your father that I won’t let you be maître d’ at MY restaurant.” Cláudio responds mockingly.Caroline gets scared, “Felipe, are you late for work? Oh, my God, I didn’t want to hold you back!”“No way, Caroline!” Felipe shakes his hands, “Don’t feel guilty. I was the one who wanted to stop and have a chat. But you’re right, I need to go.” He glares at Cláudio.“While you go, I’m going to have a word with the Princess of Lagoon City.” Claudius scoffs, “Now I’m qualified for such a privilege.”“Bye, Carol.” Felipe walks away, swearing under his breath.Caroline turns her attention to the former swimming instructor, “What do you want to talk to me about, Cláudio?”“Carol, weren’t you
On another day, Caroline was talking to Reuben on a bench in Ibrahim Square. Pedestrians passed by, recognizing the couple and smiling at them.Reuben grins, “Honey, they think we’re married when we’re still dating.”“We’re not dating, Reuben.” Caroline is crestfallen.“Then let’s fix this!” Reuben says playfully, “Be my girlfriend, Caroline Campos Rocha.”Caroline smiles weakly at Reuben.“Let’s not joke about serious things, Reuben.”“But I’m serious!” Reuben exclaims, but his playful expression doesn’t convince Caroline, “I love you, Carol, you always knew that.”“Yes, I know. But I’m not in the mood for that right now, Reuben.”Reuben continues smiling, “I know. You’re upset because Alan is dating Sofia.”“I wish it was just that.” Caroline stares at him, “I suspect her family’s intentions. Now they managed to improve the company and save it from bankruptcy. But I wonder what it would be like when Alan and Sofia were married.”“If that happens, Uncle Josias would help, but in retu
At the General Hospital, Dr. Silvana is talking to Henrique. Bernardo and Maggie are with him.“Henrique, we’re going to go in that little room to take a little blood from your arm, OK? It won’t hurt or anything.”“Don’t worry, doctor, I’m a man, that’s what my father said,” Henry speaks boldly.Dr. Silvana and Maggie laugh, finding Henry very cute. Bernardo winks at his son approvingly.“OK, let’s get to the procedure then.”Dr. Silvana’s current assistant takes Henrique by the arm and takes him to the laboratory.Dr. Silvana drops her smile and becomes serious with Henrique’s parents, “Does that mean the old witch is back with the lying gossip?”Bernardo sighs, “Unfortunately, doctor. We’re using this trick, hoping she understands once and for all.”“Don’t worry. When she swallows the truth, you will have eternal peace.” Dr. Silvana extends her thumb.“I want to end this nightmare soon.” Maggie takes a deep breath, “And worst of all: she’s gone and we don’t know where she is.”“She
Maggie visits Crystal Blue and talks to Daryl about what she decided. They’re both in his office.“Daryl, won’t your new boss mind?” Maggie asks with some mockery.Daryl smiles evilly, “He’s too busy posing immodestly for female perverts to drool over his naked body. Meanwhile, it’s like I never stopped owning this restaurant. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that my son was demoted to waiter and Pat was promoted to maître d’.”“Why?” Maggie’s eyes widen.“Because Felipe stayed at home for several days lamenting what Josias did. Pat took advantage of his absence and offered to replace him. When Felipe returned to work, Cláudio didn’t want to put him back in his position. For me, he did it on purpose.”Maggie shakes her head, “I hope things can get back to normal. Meanwhile, I came to announce something interesting to you.”“What?” Daryl is interested.“Bernie and I decided to do a DNA test on Henrique to shut our mother up.” Maggie frowns, “She keeps saying that Henrique’s f
At Rocha Mansion, Josias, Melissa, and Caroline have breakfast discussing the subject.“Daughter, be careful not to spread false information.” Josias states while munching on potato bread, “Probably Mr. Vasquez finally stopped wasting his money on partying and expensive handbags for his wife and decided to invest in his company.”“Or, probably, he got Alan to lend him some money to make sure Sofia marries him.” Caroline doesn’t give up.Melissa shakes her head, “Alan wouldn’t have the money to renew an entire fleet of buses, Carol.”“No, but suppose Mr. Vasquez needed only part of the money? Or suppose Alan sold some of the shares in Rocha Constructions to—”“Not that, Carol!” Josias rages, “This couldn’t have happened! Alan would never do such a thing!”Caroline mixes coffee with milk, “That’s why we need to ask him, Dad.”Alan appears, wearing a formal shirt and jeans, “Good morning, family!”Caroline barely blinks as she asks, “Alan, did you sell your shares in Rocha Constructions
At Marçal Publishing, Maggie and Bernardo talk about family dramas.“Dear, your mother-in-law keeps insulting you, saying that Henry is not your son.” Maggie crosses her arms, “We need a foolproof plan to shut her up once and for all.”Bernardo smiles at the corner of his mouth, excited by the idea, “Yes, dear, you’re right. Nowadays, DNA testing is very fashionable, right? Let’s do it with our blood, and rub the result in her face.”Maggie applauds like a little girl, “I love your sense of humor, honey!”Maggie gets up and leans over the desk to kiss her husband.Henrique enters at this moment, “Hey, children are watching!”Maggie and Bernardo laugh heartily.“Son, how’s the typing course doing?” Bernardo asks, calling his son closer.“I’m doing fine. So good that my colleagues are jealous,” Henrique complains, “They take revenge by saying that I don’t have a father, but a grandfather.”Maggie stops laughing. How disrespectful!Bernardo, aware that comments like this would arise, car
Shirley feels entitled to be offended when Josias calls her trash that needs to be swept out of the hotel.“Josias, how dare you disrespect a guest? Is this how this hotel wants to be recognized, for its mistreatment of customers?”“Miss, don’t think about making any complaints.” Josias raises his index finger, “I can testify that you threw a broom at two maids! Do you think this is how we treat an employee?”“That’s how we see it in Hollywood movies!” Shirley screams like it’s the most normal thing in the world.Josias rubs his hands over his face, trying to dispel the stress, “Now I understand why your son went crazy and tried to kill me. Shirley, pack your bags. You won’t spend a second longer in my hotel.”“I just swiped my credit card for another week!” Shirley screams so much that she goes out of tune.“Don’t worry, we will refund you.” Josias smiles wryly, “In fact, I don’t even know how your card got approved in the first place.”“There are people who keep their accounts up to
Olivia’s eyes widen when Erasmo asks if she told the secretaries that Alan would be their plan of action.And then, she bursts into laughter, despising her husband’s authority!“HA, HA, HA!” She holds on to the desk to keep from falling, “Erasmo, do you think I’m stupid? Why would I say something like that to them? I’m just celebrating that you’re going to pull the company out of the abyss, renew the fleet, and give employees a salary increase.”Erasmo feels like he’s going to have a stroke every time Olivia mentions ‘pay rise’, “Cut the talk. Our employees will receive the same fair wages that I pay them.”Olivia drops her smile. This will still be a problem... “Anyway, when will my son-in-law come?”“If he obeys our daughter, he must come after lunch.”Sofia appears smiling and triumphant, “Mom, Dad! Alan has arrived!”“And what is he waiting for?” Erasmo widens his eyes in excitement.“He is registering at the reception,” Sofia responds.“Argh, tell the doormen that Alan Campos Roc
At Crystal Blue, Josias asks Daryl what Shirley’s situation will be like at the hotel. But Josias begins to suspect that Daryl doesn’t even know how Shirley has been messing around at the Rocha Hotel.“What?” Daryl stands up abruptly, “Her credit card was approved again? And for what limit?”Josias is stunned, “Daryl, I thought you could answer me. After all, haven’t you gotten back in touch?”“Not me, I only visited her once.” Daryl frowns, “She said she was making ends meet at the hotel by selling shortbread cookies.”Josias stifles a laugh with his hand, “You know she was taking you for a fool, don’t you?”Daryl wrinkles his nose, “I didn’t think your hotel’s VIP suite had a stove and kitchen. My Mom must have hit the jackpot, but she’s burning everything at the hotel. What a fool!”Josias was going to say that Shirley is foolish for being his mother, but decides to hold back the joke. Daryl is already upset enough.“And how is she?” Daryl asks, worried.“She’s being a bubonic plag
