At Crystal Blue, Kelvin decided to provide support while Felipe recovered. After all, he was also a partner in the restaurant.The office was examined by the forensic team and released last year. Still, Kelvin had ominous feelings and now and then he glanced at the door. The chair that Felipe used was changed because it had splashed blood.Then, he opened a drawer and found a resume: it was Daniela Lombardi’s.“Hmm... a girl around Felipe’s age left a resume here. Maybe that would be a good idea...” Kelvin smiled excitedly.Once he was sure that Daniela had not been contacted, he picked up the phone from the desk and dialed her number.On the other side, Daniela was talking to her father in the living room.“The Crystal Blue people probably won’t hire me, Dad.” Daniela was discouraged.“Why do you think so, daughter?” Hamilton is surprised, “Don’t be pessimistic. Maybe they are waiting for your call.”“They’re the ones who promise to call me.” Daniela sighed, “When that doesn’t happen
Daryl wasn’t in the mood to be accused of being a troublemaker. He closed the door to the office that now belongs to his son.“Has there been a change here?”“Cláudio Guzman changed the furniture, opting for a more modern and bold style, but your son changed everything back,” Patrick explained.“This desk is very good.” Kelvin smiles, patting her top, “Felipe has good taste.”“There’s just no wisdom for women,” Daryl complains.Patrick gulped. “Kelvin, do you want me to welcome Daniela?”“The conversation won’t be very long. Daryl needs to rest.” Kelvin looks at his troubled brother.Patrick leaves, leaving the brothers alone.“Will Campos got me this bruise.” Daryl quickly admitted, “He thought I wanted a facial.”“He didn’t do it for free. You provoked him—” Kelvin guessed, “Oh no, man! Did you meet with Flávia?”“I couldn’t swallow the fact that they are dating. What a strange pair!” Daryl grimaces in disgust, “But I thought she should know what I intend to do to her son as soon as
Daniela arrives at Crystal Blue and is welcomed by Patrick at the bar.“Hello, Pat. Looks like I’ve finally been selected. I was losing hope...”“Don’t miss it.” Patrick smiled, “I need to check if my other boss is available.”“Hey, is everything okay here?” Daniela has common sense, “If you’re out of time because of what happened...”“His older brother, Felipe’s father, was here.” Patrick looked down the hall.Daryl walked out of there, waving at Patrick. “Kelvin is free. Is this the new employee? He can meet you now, miss.”“Thanks.” Daniela smiled, “Why do I feel like he’s still part of this place?”“The restaurant was his, almost twenty years ago,” Patrick replied jokingly.Daniela went to the office and entered.The feeling of being in the same place where Felipe was shot gave her goosebumps.Kelvin stood up from his desk and smiled gently. “Hello, Miss Lombardi.”“Mr. Mountain, nice to meet you. Thank you very much for the opportunity.”“And I apologize again for taking so long.
Caroline is stunned by the less-than-decent proposal that Daryl made to her.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t understand what you mean by that.” She argues, “Are you suggesting that I had something to do with Felipe being in love with me?”“You didn’t, Carol? Honestly speaking?” Daryl raises his eyebrows.“No, this is absurd! I’ve always loved Reuben since I was a kid!” Caroline exclaims.Felipe shifts in bed as if he had heard that sentence.“Let’s go outside further.” Daryl calls out to her, “Looks like he heard what he didn’t want to hear.”Caroline gets impatient. “He needs to understand, Uncle Daryl.”“OK, but do you promise to try hard?” Daryl frowns.“Uncle Daryl, I don’t agree with the ‘look for another suitor’ part. I don’t want another man. Reuben will be the Prince of Lagoon City.” Caroline smiles hopefully.“Don’t be naive, girl. As soon as the police get their hands on him, Reuben will go to jail to pay for his crime.” Daryl shakes his head.“What crime? There is no conviction. We h
Reuben returned to Lagoon City.What was agreed with Josias was that he would stay in the mansion until the matter was resolved. But this coincided with David moving into the same mansion.David was already comfortably installed at Rocha Mansion, watching the music video for the song “It’s a Beautiful Lie”, by Thirty Seconds to Mars, in the living room. The doorbell rang, but Hector seemed unable to answer.“Looks like I’ll have to answer the door.” David got up from the couch.When he went to the foyer, Ignacio was already heading towards the door.“I’ll get it, David.” Ignacio volunteered.The door was opened, and they were both shocked by the presence of Reuben, smiling broadly and carrying two suitcases.“LET THE PARTY BEGIN! I came back!”“Hi, Reuben!” Ignacio greets him while David barely fits in shock.“Nacho, how you’ve grown! It feels like I was away from home for ten years.” Reuben strokes the boy’s hair.“It looks like you spent ten years in jail, is that what you mean?” Da
Daniela started her work at Crystal Blue reorganizing reports and accounting data. She’s in the same office, but the door is open.Patrick passed by the corridor and found this situation strange. He decided to enter.“Daniela, is everything okay? Is the air conditioning not working?”“The air conditioning is working perfectly, Patrick.” She smiled, “I just didn’t want to be isolated in this room.”Patrick smiled and nodded. “Sorry. As soon as you took up your post, Kelvin Mountain returned to Cardozo Perfumes. He’s the branch manager here.”“Yes, I know I am in an exceptional situation while my real boss recovers in the hospital.” Daniela giggles, “I’m even thinking about visiting him to say hello.”“It would be great. If you want, I can accompany you.” Patrick offers.“Thank you, Patrick. I don’t know if I could do this alone.” Daniela goes back to typing.Patrick nodded and left, not wanting to disturb her.But Daniela’s cell phone rang. She was surprised to see that it was Pedro.“
Flávia and William visit Rocha Mansion and meet Reuben again. Reuben was installed in Alan’s old room.“My son!” Flávia hugged Reuben tightly, “Your grandmother wouldn’t let me talk to you!”“She said you shouldn’t compromise yourself,” Reuben explained.“Nonsense. How could something like that compromise me?” Flávia breaks the hug with a grimace.“Maybe my cell phone was tapped.” Reuben looked at his mother in doubt.William chuckles. “Don’t worry, Reuben. These are just extreme theories and concerns. With Josias around, you’re more protected than being in São Paulo.”“Will I have to give my statement to the police?” Reuben asked with concern.“Unfortunately.” Flávia sighs, “Daryl Mountain is in town and has already visited me at the orphanage, threatening and cursing us. Will punched him twice.”“I’m going to work out in the gym to punch him too.” Reuben scowls, “I know Daryl Mountain is the twins’ uncle, Melissa’s ex-brother-in-law, or Caroline’s token uncle: I DON’T CARE! If he wa
Brigitte wasted no time in visiting Reuben at Rocha Mansion to offer support.“Hello, Miss Amoreira.” Reuben shook her hand.“Hello, Reuben. Where can we talk?”“Let’s go to the living room. It’s comfortable, and the twins don’t mind.” Reuben opens the door.Not understanding what the twins have to do with this, Brigitte entered. They both sat comfortably on sofas.“I’m listening to you. I know you graduated in law and are dating Caio.”Brigitte smiles slightly, “Reuben, I want to inform you that Damascene Lawyers is available to defend you. Daryl Mountain tried to hire me, but I flatly refused.”“Thank you very much, Miss Amoreira. But do you intend to defend me?” Reuben smiles hopefully.“Unfortunately, I can’t do that. My specialty is different. I handle legal matters involving marriages, divorces, and wills.” Brigitte explains patiently.“I hope I can never hire you after I marry Caroline.” Reuben makes a joke.Brigitte remains serious. “Will there be a wedding, Reuben?”“Sure!” R
