Chapter 123


    It was pointless talking to someone like my mother-inw , so I smiled at her as she rambled


    on . Eventually , she got bored talking to herself , so she stopped . “ I’m going to


    take a look at Joana “ .


    “ Of course . “ I wanted nothing more than for her to leave .  _


    When she was at


    the door , she looked at me . “ Tell Carlos that you will be discharged as soon as possible . _ fifteen tho


    usand per


    day is too wasteful .


    “ Of course . ”


    My mother-in –w then left , much to my relief . When I was about to call Isabel , I heard my mother-


    inw ask loudly at the door : “ You ‘re Henriques Ribeiro , are n’t you ? ”


    “ I am , and you are ? Henry asked . _ I could imagine he must be scowling at her by now  .


    “ Why did you take my son ‘s client ? _ Do


    you have any grudge against him ?! she screamed , sounding like a whore .  _


    “ Who is your son ? ” Henriques replied calmly .


    “ Oh , I


    forgot to do the introductions . Charles is my son . He is the president of A . She emphasized on ‘


    president ‘ , as what she meant was that Henriques should meet Carlos , as they  were both presidents


    . _


    “ Oh , so you are Mr. _ _ _ Morais ” , Henriques spoke slowly . “ Good morning , Mrs. _ Morals . ”


    My mother-inw , being the socially inept and rude woman that she


    was , snapped , “ I’m not having a good day , brat ! Mr. Ribeiro , why did you take my son ‘s client ?


    Henriques said nothing , obviously shocked by her ridiculous behavior . _ _ Someone like him has prob


    ably never had contact withy people like Mrs. Morals .


    My mother – in –


    w thought his silence meant he felt guilty . “ Integrity is important to business . _ My son was suppos


    ed to deal with the customer , so you should have stayed out ! You are rich and have manypanies


    !Why would youpete with my son ?! ”


    Mrs. _ Morais bombarded him with questions without fear or embarrassment . _ Suddenly , someone s


    aid : “ Mr. _ Ribeiro , do you need us to chase that old hag away ? ”


    “ What did you call me ? Rude ! I ‘m not old at all ! What ? _ Do you think I ‘m old ?! ”


    Mrs. _ _ Morais was a vixen who argued with whoever she wanted . As the hustle and

    bustle outside  increased , I got a headache , so I massaged my temples , wondering if I should go outs


    ide .


    A momentter , Henriques said , “ You do n’t look a day over eighteen , Mrs. _ Morals . He ‘s just bad


    with words .  _


    “ But you don’t , Mr. Ribeiro . You are polite , I see . Oh right , you can give my son the business back ,


    Mr. _ _ Ribeiro ? “ Return the business ? ” I could hear the sardonicugh in his voice and I


    blushed with embarrassment.. “ Call Mr. _ Morales here then . ” He had raised his voice as he spoke .


    “ Really ? I will call my son immediately ! _ Overjoyed , my mother-in –w  tried to call him .
