In Linhares, Henry enters Gilson's office and approaches him. The father is concentrating on checking his employees' sales on the computer.
“Dad, open a browser tab and go to a website.” Henry sends the link noted on a piece of paper.
Gilson adjusts his glasses, takes the paper, opens a browser tab, and types the email address. He comes across the website of another real estate agency promoting an apartment to rent.
The apartment isn’t a luxury one. It’s located just around Laura's shop.
Gilson frowns, “I’ll pay for a better apartment than this one, son.”
“I don't want to risk being seen by Reggie or his rich friends.” Henry smartly states, “It's enough that this building is near Laura Fabrics, my cousin's ex-wife's shop.”
“Mr. Ferreira’s daughter?” Gilson is startled.
“Word is going around that she found out she wasn't the legitimate
The days passed. Bartolomeo left Matias in direct charge of the Fabray Network business and said goodbye to Sylvia to travel to Sunset Village.Faron walks through Mendonça Manor and approaches Reginaldo who is coming down the stairs already dressed in a black suit and pointed shoes.“Boss Rocha, your father is parking in the garage and is about to enter. Charlotte has already arranged the guest room for him.”Reginaldo smiles satisfyingly, “Thanks, Faron.”Reginaldo finishes coming down and walks away, but Faron calls him.“Boss... Can we talk for a bit?”Reginaldo feels that something is wrong and turns to the butler, “What is it, Faron?”“I have noticed that Miss Mendonça, your girlfriend, is downcast.”Reginaldo smiles at Faron's loyalty, “Thank you for your concern, Faron, but it's nothing. She is concerned about some clients who never make up
Laura is surprised to hear Sabrina wants to help her with something. Would that be a trap?She narrows her eyes and tries to understand, “Do you want to help me with anything? Do you want to work at Laura Fabrics?”Sabrina smiles gently, “No, I already take your mother's place at the hotel, managing the maids and cleaners. But, I don't know, maybe you want help in another area. Now I have money and power, Laura, while you... You have Eduardo Casemiro.”The writer's name came out in a dismissive tone, which makes Laura defend herself, “I'm happy and complete with Eddie.”“I don't know about that.” Sabrina risks snatching a piece of the sandwich, “I heard you were happier with Reggie Fabray.”“I was happy with Reggie,” Laura emotionally counters, “until your current husband got in the way! He plotted our marriage and then plotted our divorce! If not for Aline the Promiscuou
At Henry's new apartment, he's excited to meet Reggie and Laura's ex-employee.“What's your name?”“Paula Santos.”“Nice to meet you, Paula. Don't worry, I'll buy soap, broom, and squeegee around here. I've always lived alone, so I know how to clean and cook.”“Oh, how interesting!” Paula greets him, “However, you should never give up a good wife to help you with the housework.”Henry is surprised. Was Paula hitting on him?“Well, I would even have the doors open for love, but first, I need to establish myself at work.”“OK, good luck. I’ll pray for you.” Paula then states, “Since you didn’t have a close relationship with Reggie, I don’t think I should even mention to my boss that you are here, right?”Henry nods, “Yes, Paula, you don't need to mention my coming here to anyone, especially the people at your st
At Mendonça Manor, Bartolomeo decides to chat first with Faron to get along with the new butler.“Have you worked for the Mendonça family for a long time?”“There were a few years,” Faron responds with a kind smile.“And you were here when Aline was behaving indecently?”Faron bows his head, “Yes, but I wasn't no saint either.”Bartolomeo clears his throat and continues to eat tangerine in the kitchen, “OK, let's not go into unpleasant detail. I imagine you regretted it and Aline decided to give you a second chance.”Faron picks up a segment of tangerine, “I'm eternally grateful for them. Before, I was helping at the tavern next to Laura Fabrics.”“Oh, I've never exchanged a word with that minx, but I hate her so much...” Bartolomeo laughs, “Am I amoral?”“I wouldn't say that, sir.” Faron responds, “It
Denise and Jacob have a snack at the Brisa do Mar cafeteria. The mood is romantic.“Denise, I've been thinking about you lately.” Jacob takes her left hand.“That's easy, I live next to you in the building.” Denise jokes.“Great. I want to tell you something, but you have every right to refuse.”“Oh, why always with that talk?” Denise rolls her eyes, “Every time someone makes me that kind of offer, the offer is one I can't refuse.”“So does that mean you will say yes?” Jacob does his classic smile.“With that beautiful smile of yours, how can I say no?” Denise melts like butter.“Not quite, Denise.” Jacob jokes, “If I smiled at you and asked you to rob a bank, would you say yes?”“You clown!” Denise throws a shrimp ball at him, “Tell me what the proposal is!”Jacob laughs. Nearby patrons smi
Bruno and Reginaldo can't stand George's petulance.“George,” Bruno complains, “we took you in when you had no skills as a real estate agent. We teach you the profession from scratch. You evolved and became our best salesperson. Now that you've acquired status and success, do you want to throw it all away over childish wars?”“It wasn't a children's war!” George screams, “Aline tried to kill Carla, my fiancée! I won’t tolerate such nonsense! Carla should have reported the crazy woman to the police, but she decided not to!”“If Carla chose peace, why are YOU the one making such a fuss?” Bruno asks smartly.“It’s because I don't want my bride dead!” George points the finger at Reginaldo, “I came here to demand that my boss do something, but to my dismay, he knows nothing, as usual!”“You imply that Aline has been keeping many secrets.” R
At Gomes Estates, George is fighting for his life.“I said that the conversation was unlikely to remain in the professional field, Bruno.” He states, “Here we are, again, talking about intimacies. You don't understand why I want to leave.”“No, but we are trying.” Reginaldo says, “I'm telling the truth, George, when I tell you that I'm not aware of this story of Aline and Carla trying to kill each other.”“Perhaps if you talk to us calmly...” Bruno asks, “George, understand that we are busy people, we have a lot of commitments. Reggie not only has Gomes Estates but also Mendonça Bank, and he is about to take over the entire Fabray Network! How do you expect Reggie to know about every little thing that happens in the world?”“I don't expect Reggie to know everything himself.” George says, “But I was hoping that Aline would have the courage to talk about what ha
Bruno is startled by Reginaldo's penetrating gaze on George. Is he thinking about 'disappearing' with his best friend?“Reggie... Mr. Fabray...?”After long seconds, Reginaldo states in a cold tone, “No.”George is even more surprised, “No, what?”“No to your dismissal,” Reginaldo repeats.George boils with anger, “Reggie, don't insist! Do you want Aline to stop fighting with Bianca and start fighting with Carla? I already told you that I won’t tolerate further aggression.”“There will be no next assault.” Reginaldo gets up slowly and decisively, “If there is, you are free to report Aline to the police.”“That's exactly what I'll do!” George exclaims.“But don’t forget to take Carla with you to the police station.” Reginaldo admonishes him with a slight smile.Bruno has a mental snap, “That's righ
