Chapter 63


    “ 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 . ” Myment 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 ourpany ? _ _ No , ourpany 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 yboy . _ He does what he wants since he ‘s


    rich . Very infamous among us , but women seek him out because of his appearance . _ ”


    Makingments about a person was not something Carlos did , but now he was making a badm


    ent about Henriques . _ Obviously , he didn’t like him .


    “ I do n’t think he’s handsome , at leastpared to you . ” It took everything I had to hold back my vo


    mit . “ Then why do you talk to him ? _ ”


    Apparently , myment stroked his ego . “ I don’t want


    to , but mypany 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 yed 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


    searched the rug , but nothing came of it.there


    was nothing suspicious there . Intrigued , I entered my room in search of answers .
