Cristina serves cups of black coffee for Adrian and Moacyr. Moacyr accepts with a passionate smile, while Adrian receives the cup trying to see microbes and bacteria.
"I hope you like it." Cristina says this and goes to the famous radio, "The late Teodoro's building cannot be without music."
When Cristina turns on the radio, the song "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac makes Adrian think of lying to avoid conflict with his father.
"How's the coffee, Adrian?"
"It's delicious, Cristina." He responds with a fake smile.
"Thank you. Here we try to do the best with little material." Cristina stands behind the counter.
"Don't you count on Silva Constructions' benevolence?" Moacyr asks.
"Oh, I wish..." Cristina sighs hopefully, "From the news you read in the newspaper, I'm not surprised that Romualdo declares bankruptcy."
Cristina points to the newspaper that is on the counter. Adrian picks it up and flips through it in the Economy section.
Carlos has already been examined by a trainee doctor and released. He and Dora are walking through Main Square towards the taxi stand. From a distance, Carlos sees the Crystal Blue window and has that sparkle in his eyes again."I'm glad there's nothing wrong with you, dear father-in-law." Dora says in relief, "Just a slight change in blood pressure. It's good to keep an eye out. Have you been taking your meds properly as per the package insert?""I think I ended up taking two pills instead of one, that must have been it." Carlos absently replies, "Huh, since we're here and it's lunchtime, how about we take advantage of the generosity of the Bento family?"Dora is in doubt. Although Marcelo always gives discounts to everyone related to Josias, the dishes are still more expensive than a popular restaurant."Well, I'm going to call Melissa so she can join us. She's the one who signs the check.""Perfect!" Carlos vibrates as if he has the vigor of a t
Igor is in the same direction going to Crystal Blue, when he sees from a distance and in the opposite direction Stacy running in tears, with one hand over her face, while mixing among the crowd of passersby, no one understanding a damn what happened. He frowns and sprints toward the restaurant."Something is going on at this restaurant and I'm going to find out!" He determines through gritted teeth, "1988 won't go by without us unraveling this mystery!"So he reaches the restaurant and enters. The receptionist is already in his place, looking at the reservations in the large notebook. Carlos and Dora are waiting."Today you got lucky. Lots of customers called yesterday to reserve a table, but we still have some available."The receptionist turns back in hopes of seeing Stacy, but when he sees she isn't there, the smile fades and the situation becomes awkward. Another waiter quickly appears."Yes, can I help?""Take these two customers to tab
The halibut dish was actually a pan-fried halibut filet with a creamy white wine and lemon sauce. There were thin slices of carrots and broccoli to complement the dish.When the waiter left the dishes for Josias's table, everyone's mouth watered.Melissa receives her gnocchi and Josias proposes, "Let's say a short prayer while the restaurant isn't so full. Due to the occasion, we can't help but thank God.""Absolutely, dear," Melissa agrees.By an incredible coincidence, as everyone bows their heads to pray, Everaldo passes through the window and sees the family gathered. He smiled."That's right, Josias. Never, never forget Almighty God, who is always watching over you and blessing you. Heaven is the limit for you."When everyone says amen, they raise their heads. Everaldo is no longer on the windowpane.***Vânia is accompanied by Adolfo back to her work. He has dirt-soiled clothes and his helmet under his arm. She does
The next day, Pamela is stuffing documents and medical test results into her purse in the living room while whistling Aerosmith's song "Angel."Beto appears with Caio and Rosemary, all dressed for their destinations: Beto to the supermarket, the children to school."We're ready to go out, Mom," Beto informs with clowning.Pamela laughs as she closes her purse, "Oh, you clown. I'm taking care of three kids.""Is Dad Beto still a child?" Caio asks with a confused mind."Not exactly, Caio." Beto smirks, "I do every single night with your mom something kids can't do.""What?" Caio asks innocently."ROBERTO!" Pamela scolds her pervert husband.Rosemary and Caio laugh without understanding what Beto meant, they just felt her reaction funny.Beto hugs Pamela from behind and whispers lovingly in her ear, "Admit that you're going to miss our moments in these nine months of pregnancy.""Honey, the kids are here..." Pamela r
Josias is driving for Gomes Real Estate, still shaken by the information that he was privileged to have contact with the son of the mayor of Lagoon City. Mayor Ibrahim has been the favorite in the electoral polls, and despite the efforts of the opposing candidate, Mr. Ibrahim's re-election is already taken for granted among the population.When he turns on the car radio, Josias listens to the song "I Should Be So Lucky" by Kylie Minogue. Our hero smiles at the coincidence."The radio announcer is following me. I really feel lucky."After parking the car in the commercial building's external parking lot, Josias enters the building, goes through the lobby greeting the receptionists, and goes up to the floor where the real estate agency is located.When he enters, Josias is greeted with a shout of "surprise" from all his colleagues, Laerte and Vânia. Bruno throws a bag of confetti into the air.Josias bursts out laughing and pretends he's having
Josias is walking across the parking lot when he finds Tobias Ibrahim standing in the middle of the rows of cars with a bodyguard as if waiting for him.Our hero interrupts his steps and trembles with fear, "Mr. Ibrahim... I'm sorry, I didn't hand you over to the gossip journalists!"Tobias, however, continues with a friendly smile, "It's okay, Mr. Rocha. I know it wasn't you. You weren't mentioned as a source for that news story and you wouldn't even do that to gain fame. You're already famous. I just left a bookstore buying a copy of your biography."Josias pales when he hears the word 'biography'. Damn Vernon's idea!"Come on, we need to talk." Tobias gestures to his Miura Saga model car, which has Josias's eyes widening. Josias still owned the same car he had bought in 1984.As the three of them enter: Tobias driving, Josias in the passenger seat, and the bodyguard in the backseat, a female voice out of nowhere gives the alert, "Please, buckle
In the living room as messy and disorganized as William's, Igor sits on the sofa listening to the whole horrendous story of ""love"" between Marcelo and Stacy. Stacy was crying and Igor has a hand on her shoulder to impart strength."In the beginning, it was just flirting and innuendo." Stacy explains, feeling like a whore, "Don't get me wrong, Igor, all of you Bento family are hot and hunks. I believe every single woman wants to sleep with one of you. Marcelo was never indifferent to me, and to make matters worse things, I still want to be f***ed by him every single night!""But if he doesn't control himself and performs the act so exaggeratedly that it leaves you like that the next day... that's not right, Stacy!" Igor has an immense desire to punch his younger brother, "Just today I found him equally devastated, it looks like you two haven't even slept!""No, we didn't sleep, we stayed all night..." Stacy puts her hand to her throat, unable to continue.<
Romualdo opens the door to Igor's room and finds Carlos sitting in the visitors' chair, calmly sipping his latte.He asks in astonishment, "But what the hell are you doing here? Who are you and who let you in?"Carlos gives a slight smile, "Watch your language, young man. Josias Rocha won't be happy to hear that you mistreated his grandfather.""Are you the father of that unworthy Tony Rocha?" Romualdo asks intending to displease."No, I'm Simeon Campos's father." Carlos answers not knowing who the aforementioned gentleman is, "Melissa is my granddaughter by blood, but Josias is my grandson by heart. He is being a better grandson to me than William."Romualdo shakes his head, "I don't give a damn what you think! If you haven't come to do business with Igor Bento—""Of course not, I came to deal with something much more worrying that has nothing to do with you, so don't upset me!" Carlos slams the cup down on Igor's desk.Igor ap
