“ No , ” he denied .
“ So it ‘s because of work ? ” I wanted to piss him off .
“ It is
because of that guy now , ” Carlos finally admitted .
“ He ‘s rude , ” I said on purpose .
“ He’s always been like that . ” My comment lifted his spirits a little .
“ Who is he ? ”
“ Don’t you know him ? Carlos asked , and for some reason , he looked at me . _
This surprised me and I realized he was trying to say something . Did he know that I received Henrique
s during his visit to our company ? _ _ No , our company has no connection with Carlos ‘ s . _ He wo n’t
waste timewith this . I rejected my idea . “ Should I meet him ? ”
Carlos let
out a sigh of relief . “ He is Henriques Ribeiro , a famous playboy . _ He does what he wants since he ‘s
rich . Very infamous among us , but women seek him out because of his appearance . _ ”
Making comments about a person was not something Carlos did , but now he was making a bad comm
ent about Henriques . _ Obviously , he didn’t like him .
“ I do n’t think he’s handsome , at least compared to you . ” It took everything I had to hold back my vo

Apparently , my comment stroked his ego . “ I don’t want
to , but my company does business with his ” , he told me , in fact , which was rare .
That answered my question . _ Henriques was a better man both in power and personality . _ Carlos w
as jealous of him , but had to get in touch with Henriques because of his business ties . No wonder he
had to fawn _ _ _Henriques , and no wonder he was upset . _ _ _ I
mocked under my breath before changing the subject to Joana . “ Honey , Joana has to stay in
the hospital for a while . I’m worried , so what do you think about
me ordering some .days off to take care of her ? ”
“ You don’t have
to ,” he dismissed the idea quickly . Concerned that I might suspect something , he added : “ The docto
rs and nurses will take care of her . Mama and Victoria are there too . It ‘s not like you can help much, a
nd you need to take care of Bianca too “ .
As if I wanted to
help . I proposed this to prevent him from suspecting me of anything , so his refusal of him was exactly
what I wanted . _ After picking
up Bianca from her kindergarten , we went to do some shopping before heading out .
for home _
Bianca played with her toy blocks in
the living room , while Carlos put on his apron and prepared dinner . “ Do you need some help , honey?
” I asked .
Carlos knew I was a walking disaster in
the kitchen , so he declined : “ Keep an eye on Bianca . I’m perfectly fine cooking alone .
I
groaned and went back to my room . When I was going to open the door , I remembered Vitória telling
me that Joana fell at my bedroom door . _ _ _ How did she fall anyway ? Fueled by my curiosity , I This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
searched the rug , but nothing came of it.there
was nothing suspicious there . Intrigued , I entered my room in search of answers .
