Chapter 3364 Protective Instincts
Reuben appeared in his suite, finding Caroline coming out of the bath, still in her nightgown with a towel wrapped around her head.“Hello, darling. How was your day?”“After we saw each other at the hotel, I had a talk with my mother.” Caroline sighed. “Honey, do you really think I should give Sofia the benefit of the doubt?”Reuben hugged his wife, very affectionately.“I don’t know, honey. If you suspect her, I suspect her right along with you. But Alan is my best friend, and I was counting on having Wellington be best friends with A.J.”“That’s what I thought.” Caroline broke the hug. “Anyway, Mom said I’m too old for these ‘Mean Girls’ style rivalries.”“I agree, too.” Reuben chuckled.“Are you calling me old?” Caroline lightly pushed her bumbling husband.Reuben laughed more and more.“I still haven’t found a supervisor. Luís Vasquez wants to stay at his family’s company.”“Let him be.” Caroline sat at her vanity, picking up the hair dryer. “That shabby company is finally turnin
Chapter 3363 Letting Go of Grudges
Melissa was trying to convince Caroline that she needed to grow up and get over her anger.Taking her hand, she said, “Daughter, do you want Wellington to grow up wondering why you don’t like Aunt Sofia? Do you want to stop Wellington and A.J. from being friends?”“Of course not!” Caroline was horrified. “After all, letting the two be friends would be like continuing the tradition, right? A.J. and Wellington, best friends, just like Alan and Reuben, my father and the late Uélton...”“Yes, it is a tradition. That’s why I want you to think about what you will do,” Melissa spoke more firmly. “So far, Sofia hasn’t done anything else to justify our disapproval. And I, honestly, am fighting for peace. I have more urgent things to worry about.”“I know.” Caroline’s voice came out tense. “Can I take a little peek at Grandpa?”“Of course, let’s go see him.” Melissa smiled.The two stood up and left the office.******Diane was talking to Kelvin in his office after Ignacio had left.“Looks like
Chapter 3362 Mother and Daughter Talk
Ignacio was face to face with his father. Both were seated, with only the desk separating them.“Son, I want to ask how you are holding up. I know we’ve already talked about it, but...” Kelvin paused. “Days have passed, and there’s still no sign of your grandfather waking up.”“I know, Dad.” Ignacio nodded.“Have you been helping your mother, your sister, and your grandmother?” Kelvin asked in an encouraging tone.Ignacio nodded, feeling important. “They say Grandpa is still alive.”“And how have you been feeling about all this, my son?” Kelvin leaned forward.Ignacio had never stopped to think about it. “Ehr... I’m okay, Dad.”“It’s normal to feel a little sadness. If I’m not around, you can vent to Josias.” Kelvin smiled faintly.“What I’m feeling is anger.” Ignacio suddenly scowled. “What that investment woman did is unforgivable. Too cowardly to go after my mother, she first argued with Mary, then she targeted my grandparents!”“Calm down, son. It’s a relief to know that the shrew
Chapter 3361 The Date
Café Montanha, afternoon.The phenomenal date between Jake and Michelle was taking place.Jake pulled out the chair for Michelle to sit, like a true gentleman.Neilton looked at the table and smiled jokingly. Then, he grabbed the menu and walked over to them.“Good afternoon, special people! Ready to order?”“Thank you, Neil.” Michelle took hers first.Jake was already reaching for his wallet. Michelle saw it out of the corner of her eye and smiled discreetly.“When you need anything, just call.” Neilton gave a funny bow and withdrew.Jake waited patiently for Michelle to choose.Michelle, however, was trying to pick the cheapest options so as not to overspend.******In the manager’s office at the Rocha Hotel, Luís was surprised by Reuben’s invitation.“Reuben, you want me to come back to work here?”“You were the best. The people who STILL work around here praise the heck out of you.” Reuben gave a thumbs-up, smiling like a weirdo. “How about you come back and do us a solid?”Luís s
Chapter 3360 Do You Want to Work Here Again?
“Michelle?” Tony’s voice sounded again, confused.Did the call drop?Michelle seemed to have snapped out of a trance. “Ehr, huh? Ah, yes, Mr. Britton...”“Tony...”“Yes, I’ll speak with him. Thank you very much!” Michelle felt like a fool.Jake’s voice sounded right after. “Michelle. Good afternoon.”“Good afternoon, Jake!” Michelle tried to sound natural.But Jake, leaning on the counter of his maître d’ station, already without his tuxedo jacket, sensed a vibration in her voice.“Am I disturbing you?”“No, not at all...” Michelle steadied her voice.“We need to talk. When can we do that?” Jake asked in a commanding tone.“Ehr... Are you getting off your shift?” Michelle looked at the computer clock.“Yes.” Jake smiled faintly.“How about we meet at Café Montanha?” Michelle suggested, not thinking of any other place.“A classic spot. Alright, we’ll meet there.” Jake nodded.“In fifteen minutes.” Michelle said goodbye and ended the call.She stood up quickly, taking a deep breath.***
Chapter 3359 Caroline Takes the Post
Crystal Blue, lunchtime.Michelle appeared as agreed, looking intently at Jake.Jake tugged at his shirt collar, apparently for no reason.The action, however, was caught by Michelle, causing a half-smile.“Hello, Michelle.” Jake looked like a teenager. “Welcome to the Crystal Blue. Your table is ready.”“Do you think I can get one of those delicious grilled salmons today?” Michelle asked in good humor.“Absolutely. We make a point of serving it, even if I have to go to the Port of Victoria to fetch it personally.” Jake smiled, breaking the ice.“Look, one day I’m going to hold you to that promise, okay?” Michelle pointed out.Daryl appeared from afar and saw the interaction between the maître d’ and the customer.“Hello, Michelle!” Daryl approached suddenly. “How is work going at Rocha Constructions?”“Excellent.” Michelle smiled respectfully.“I’ll guide you to your table.” Daryl turned to Jake. “Which is...?”“Table 08,” Jake replied professionally.Daryl nodded with a knowing smil
