    “ I have nothing to lose , so I can only take revenge , even if it costs my life . ”


    “ what _


    are you talking ? Do n’t you have me ? And also your parents . We are all with you . ”


    “ Thank you , Isabel . It was definitely a privilege to have a friend like Isabel . ”

    her .  _


    I understood Isabel ‘s good intentions ; however , being the stubborn person that she was , I did


    not take her advice and insisted on asking Henriques for help .


    It ‘s not that I didn’t understand where Isabel wasing from , but that I had run


    out of options . However , asking Henriques for help was definitely not a safe bet .


    After


    all , Henriques knew about Carlos ‘ affair and had insulted me for it before . As such , when it came to


    him , I had nothing to lose .


    Before looking for Henriques , I investigated him deliberately , and by that I meant that I looked him


    up on the inte in search of some news or rumour .


    What I  discovered was just about her favorite food , favorite color , horoscope , as


    well as any taboos that apanied the horoscope .


    However , information on the inte can always be false , so I decided to reserve


    my judgment . After that quick search , on the pretext of taking a walk , I


    sneaked out of the house and went downstairs to call him .


    At that point , I remembered what Henriques told me thest time , when he gave me his number , so


    I intentionally chose a time that might work for him to call .


    It was 6:30 pm when I


    called him , and he answered almost instantly and replied in an unfeeling voice : “ Hello ! ”


    I was a little nervous . “ President Ribeiro , it’s me , Linda .”


    “ Dona Morais ? Can I help her ? ” He looked like a businessman .  _


    Already imagining that this would


    be his attitude , he had already thought of an answer . “ President Ribeiro , how is your injury ? _ I just


    wanted to talk to you about the medical expenses .  ”


    “ Oh ? Medical expenses ? ” Henriques repeated what I just said with a dubious attitude .  _


    “ That’s right . It’s been a while , but I’m trying to find the time to talk to you about it . I ‘ve been kind


    of busy . ”


    “ Busy ? I remember bumping into you at the hospital at least twice . _ _ You didn’t seem to


    be very busy


    then . ”


    After being exposed , I started to blush . Since I had nothing to lose , I tried to calm


    down . “ I was wondering if you have any free time now ? ”


    I was extremely nervous when I


    asked this question . If his answer was no , then all my efforts would be in vain and I would


    have to find another way to find him . But if your answer was yes , that meant I still had  _


    hope .


    There was a moment of silence . “ Actually , I have some free time now . _ ”


    “ President Ribeiro , would it be convenient for me to meet with you ? ”


    “ Date ? Are you sure ? ” Henriques questioned .


    I was a little embarrassed because I would expose all my ns if I desperately wanted to


    find him , but as the times were desperate , I had no choice . “ As it has been dragging on for a


    long time , I was hoping that the sooner we


    can resolvethis , better . President Ribeiro , could you suggest a ce for me to meet you ? ”


    “ Are you sure you really want toe see me ? ” Henriques mocked . “ Do you know where I am ? ”
