Maurício The day was clearing up when Luise emerged from the trees, alone and staggering down the path. Before I could say anything she looked up and saw me at the window, hurried her steps and ran into the dorm, her face changed as soon as she saw me and as far as I could tell all the alcohol she had ingested was gone. Almost twenty minutes went by and Maria didn't show up, so I decided to go there to see what happened and why she didn't run away when she had the chance. I can't explain the relief I felt to see her. Today is a day off for everyone except Louise, which must be why Maria didn't return. (...) The bedroom lights were off and she was not in bed. I entered quietly and could hear noise coming from the bathroom, the door was open and I could see her kneeling with her hands resting on the toilet and her face looking very drunk. - Where were you? - She wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at me with a tired look on her face, I had no answer because she then threw up

Laerte Norely's proposal I confess is very tempting, but I won't try to convince Mauricio only to give Louise on a platter to Norely later, everyone knows that he and Parkinson have always had a certain rivalry. I won't get in the middle of it. James has always been Norely's bastard son, but this fissure of his for the girl has aroused my interest, in fact it's not only because of the rivalry he has with Parkinson. I see desperation in his eyes, he is afraid that someone will find out something about James and now that I am interested in the subject I will go all the way to find out what it is about and why so much interest in the girl. I was in my office when Vanusa entered with the phone in her hand. "Sir, it's Charlie again. He insists that he wants to talk to you or he will not stop calling." - I picked up the phone and brought it to my ear. Active Call"Indecent proposals, you asshole?" - I heard his cynical laughter on the other end of the line."Not this time. I heard t

Emma As I walked back and forth I was seriously considering taking her with me, but I can't do that, Mauricio would follow me wherever I was. The day is still clearing up and the girls are already arriving to return to their services. I saw Louise watering the roses that I have always cared so much for, she talks to them as if they were going to answer. "Did you know it's ugly to look out the window, Miss Emma?""My son... you almost scared me, you creature, next time at least knock on the door.""Sorry mom, it's just that I have a very serious matter to discuss with you right now." "What must be so important that it couldn't wait?""Alícia! She decided to chase me, and to top it all off, dragging along a child whose god knows whose child it is. She says it's my child, but she could never get pregnant.""So there's nothing I can do to help my son, if you know her so well, why are you still doubting that?""Because she can fuck with my business now. Imagine her talking to the press

Maurício I've never seen a more clumsy person like Louise, she seems to do it on purpose, she hurts herself because she wants to feel pain or something, because it's not possible for a person to get hurt without needing help. Active Calling "Keep an eye on your cell phone, she should be here soon." "She just came by. Are you sure this is going to work?" "Um... are you worried about this?" - She spoke in an annoying voice, imitating Juliana. "I am. My reputation is at stake. Imagine if she says no and spreads it among the others!""What's wrong with getting a no? It's the most normal thing in the world, I've even been rejected several times." "Why not? I see her as any other woman, there is nothing different about her!" Roberto always joked too much about everything and it was high time to put a stop to it. "Ok... sorry. I will wait and do the right thing, and it's nice to talk to her." "But what you have to say is only what is necessary, you don't have to make small talk."I

Norely "So that was your plan? To bring her back? You've actually thought this time!" - James was pacing back and forth trying to talk to Alicia, who by now should be arriving. "She has never let me down, Dad, and she won't now.""But my question is: why?" "Simply because she will enter Mauricio's life to make him fall for her, so that it will be easier to get Louise."I don't know how far he will go with this crazy idea, but if it works out it will be great, but I'm pretty sure it will go wrong. Parkinson The bottle of whiskey has become my best friend. I don't know how to live with this pain, I shouldn't have done any of the things I did and it is killing me inside in an inexplicable way. My daughter has always been very quiet, but always very present and this is affecting me in a horrible way. "Drinking like this won't do much good, she won't come back..." The waiter replied, pouring me another drink.""Thank you for your words, but I still have faith that one day." - No one
