Erasmo and Olivia couldn’t resist their curiosity and went into Sofia’s office to find out how much money Alan transferred to their bank account through Internet Banking.But what they found was the couple chatting casually as they ate snacks and drank coffee, with the computer playing the song “Human” by The Killers, echoing through the speakers.“But, what’s going on here?” Erasmo asked, disturbed.Olivia tried to hide the unsettling question, “Ehr... The couple is taking advantage of the time to date, dear. Remember that I used to bring you lunch when we were newlyweds, and—”“Dad, Mom, Alan has given me a lot of tips on how to improve our administration,” Sofia reported to them with a smile that could be interpreted as mockery.“Too much information?” Erasmo swallowed hard, stopping himself from asking ‘What about the money’.“Yes. I talked to my father, and he told me that it wouldn’t be wrong to help. Remember what I said in your office, father-in-law.” Alan blinks.“Of course,
After celebrations in Victoria, Felipe returned to Lagoon City, ready to face the situation.As they entered the Mountain Penthouse, he and Kelvin were talking about the subject.“Do you promise you will act rationally, nephew?”Felipe smiles with suitcases in hand. “Since when did I lack rationality, uncle?”“Since you insisted on nurturing vain hopes with Carol,” Kelvin grumbles, sitting down in the armchair.“It’s necessary to know what resulted from the ballistics examination.” Felipe placed the bags on the sofa and pointed with his chin at the newspaper in Kelvin’s left hand.Kelvin put his bags aside and opened the newspaper, going straight to the police section.As he read it, he maintained a serious expression. “Felipe... Things have changed.”Felipe approached him. “What happened?”“According to the final report, the bullet that hit you didn’t come from Reuben’s grandfather’s revolver.”Felipe has a perplexed expression on his face. Kelvin closes the newspaper and stares at i
After resting, Felipe went to the Happiness Slum police station to have a chat with Dylan.The gentlemen greet each other and sit down.“It’s great that you have your own office, Amoreira.” Felipe smiles slightly, “Is your father enjoying his retirement?”“He continues to be a detective in Linhares, but without being linked to any police station.” Dylan explains, “He wants to spend a little more time with his married life.”“And you follow in his footsteps.” Felipe nodded.“That was something out of the ordinary.” Dylan explains, “Here, I’m assigned to the affairs of Happiness Slum. We don’t have a large investigative department, but still, Commissioner Tavares assigned me this investigation because of the connection that the Amoreira family has with the Rocha family.”“Well, I came back from Victoria after celebrating my recovery and I just found out that Reuben Freire couldn’t have been my attacker,” Felipe spoke in a neutral tone.“That’s right.” Dylan narrows his eyes. “You look l
In the General Hospital lounge, Melissa and Isabel enter to continue their conversation.“Izzy, explain yourself better. What do you mean, do you want to retire from LCN too?”Isabel nods, “I’m thinking hard, Melissa. Yes, I still have strength, but age has caught up with me to such an extent that I simply don’t want to let my viewers be left with a show without a conclusion because the writer passed away.”“I understood. That would be horrendous.” Melissa nodded.“So I need someone to take care of ‘Love Spins the World,’ and I remembered you.”“Izzy, I’m flattered by this, but I’m now busy with Josias’s annual fashion show and other charity events.” Melissa regrets it.“But now, everything is easier, Melissa.” Isabel tries to convince her, “You don’t need to write everything yourself. A team of writers below you will commit to detailing scenes and dialogues. You just need to provide the general outline of the storyline and guide them.”Melissa pondered with her hand on her chin. “Hmm
Josias returns from the nursery after drooling over his new nephew. He meets Melissa coming the other way, looking for him.“Josias, I’m glad I found you. I need to talk to you about something important.”“Do you need to go to the lounge, or can we talk right here in the hallway?” Josias asks worriedly.“We can talk in the hallway, it’s not so secret.” Melissa smiles slightly, “What do you think of that? Izzy wants to hand over the writing of ‘Love Spins the World’ to me.”Josias also smiles. “Honey, this is wonderful!”“You think? I always liked the soap opera, but I find it a challenge to follow the writing and maintain the same quality.” Melissa confesses, “And I’d also be busy with the charity events and the fashion show.”Josias puts both hands on her shoulders, “I believe you’ll be able to do well in this project, my love.”“Izzy said I can continue to rely on the writing team under her.” Melissa says, buying into the idea, “Maybe this will make things easier. All I have to do i
Caroline felt struck by lightning when Felipe said those words.To add, Daniela stood frozen in the doorway and stood behind it.With the door open just a crack, Felipe didn’t notice that someone was still listening to the conversation.“Felipe…” Caroline seems to have woken up from her stupor, “What... WHAT IS THAT BS YOU SAID?”“Bullshit? Are you sure about this, Carol?” Felipe stood up and approached her, “How could you do this to me? I love you, my crime was to say that I love you ardently! At least that’s what you consider, right?”“I’m not following you!” Caroline screams.“I told you I love you and kissed you. You got scared and left here. Days later, I only had time to see the barrel of a revolver pointed at me, shooting me in the chest. That’s because I raised my head, otherwise the shot might—”“STOP!” Caroline screams in horror.“So, Caroline, what was the only conclusion I could come to? You were so desperate to understand that you loved me too that you decided to eliminat
Erasmo and Olivia talk about Vaztrans’ financial situation in their master suite.“Honey, as we’ve seen, Alan hasn’t lent us a penny yet. Most likely, our daughter has weakened.”Olivia was putting on her shoes, and sitting on the couch, “Be patient, darling. When the time is right, she will borrow money.”“When? When we declare bankruptcy with our competitors laughing in our faces?” Erasmo becomes impatient, barely able to tie his tie.He loses his temper and throws his tie away, “Ah, I’m going to work this way.”“Watch your heart, man.” Olivia gets up. “If you want, I’ll talk to her.”The double doors open in perfect timing, with Sofia entering. “You don’t need to talk to me, mom. I came here to clear up the confusion.”“DAUGHTER!” Erasmo bares his teeth, “We were worried about you. Didn’t we agree that we would ask your husband for a little help to keep our beloved company running smoothly?”Sofia looks closely at her parents.“Why do I get the impression that Caroline has been rig
As Caroline passed through the kitchen to exit the back door of Crystal Blue, she was intercepted by Daniela.“Miss Rocha!”Caroline froze in her steps and looked at Daniela. “Yes?”“I’m Daniela Lombardi, I work in accounting at the restaurant, and I’m seeing Pete Reis. Do you know him?”“Yes, his half-sister is my best friend, Rosemary Reis.” Caroline wipes away her tears.“May I know the reason for your tears?” Daniela approaches with a serious face.Caroline felt that Daniela would not be a friend offering her shoulder. “Ehr... Sorry, did I disturb something?”“Actually, Miss Rocha, I work in the office, and I was about to go in when I realized that you were inside, talking to Mr. Mountain. By coincidence, my cell phone rang and I walked away. It was Pete.” Daniela explains with a strange smile.Caroline stares at Daniela, processing the information. So, the cell phone ringtone was hers, but she said she was passing by casually... was that really it, and she was being paranoid?“I
