Episode 8

Alana

When I got out of the car, I even looked at myself to see if I was dirty or something because I was attracting a lot of attention, especially from men. I hated it, I'm going to kill Isis.

I go to the receptionist and she asks me to wait a moment, I sit down and start reading a book about finance that I had just bought.

Luiza – Wow, now I really want Benjamin to see her and for her to be my daughter-in-law for real.

William – Is that Alana?

Luiza smiling - Yes it is, I already know who helped.

William – Who? I have to thank them because Benjamin will fall in love, and he laughs.

Luiza – Isis.

William – How does she know Isis? That's terrible.

Luiza – Calm down, I thought the same thing but she told me how she met her and that she called me because she cares a lot about Alana, she said that she always treated her very well and always tried to make her change her life and even though she is what she is, she cares about her.

She runs every morning and when she was training for a marathon, she would go very early, it was 4:30 in the morning when she met Isis and helped her, she had gone out with a man who went too far and Alana took care of her without knowing her. She continues narrating.

William – Now it makes sense, it's true, she is an excellent, worthy, and good person. Let's see her reaction.

Luiza – Now it's up to them, for sure Benjamin will look, she is beautiful, look she has a different and natural beauty.

William – I agree.

Alana – I am sitting here waiting and the girls at the reception begin, "Hmm, the hot guy arrived," "Handsome," "In my bed I would do anything with him," and they keep laughing.

Spare me, I'm not even going to look, in fact, I see two men from afar, he looks handsome but my book is much more interesting.

Luiza – I can't believe she looked and went back to reading.

William laughs – I liked that.

Luiza – I want to see it too.

Benjamin arrives with Heitor at the company.

Benjamin

I arrive and as always, I attract attention, but not at the company! I am very professional, logically, after hours, nothing prevents it. Smile.

I look at the receptionists, they are two hotties, I hooked up with them a few years ago and it was good, but they always want a repeat, but no! Not happening.

Whoa, *who is that girl?* She's beautiful, I'm going towards her but she doesn't look at me, she's reading, hmm, or pretending something about finances is interesting.

Heitor – She's pretty, I wonder if she's the new secretary?

Benjamin – She's beautiful, but she looks young.

Heitor – As if you cared about that.

Benjamin – She won't look.

Heitor – Maybe you're not her type.

Benjamin – Come on Heitor, let's tease her, and he laughs.

I go to the receptionists and I talk but the girl doesn't even look at me, she's different.

Heitor – I see Benjamin's interest in knowing who she is.

He asks the receptionists.

Receptionists – Handsome, we are free after 6 pm, she is waiting to speak with Mr. William and Mrs. Luiza.

Luiza – He doesn't admit that she didn't give him any attention, and she laughs.

William – Laughing, I love this girl.

Benjamin – Good morning, miss.

Alana – I hear a voice, wow, what a voice, when I look up it's the cocky one I saw coming in, handsome yes, but I'm not even interested, that doesn't win me over, I think it repels me, very handsome, attracts a lot of attention, cocky... no, no way, and besides, I'm still going to get married and I don't even know to whom. And there's another man next to him, also handsome but less so.

Alana – Good morning, and I go back to reading.

Benjamin – She answers me and goes back to reading.

Heitor laughing – Let's go, Benjamin.

Benjamin – I'd like you to come up with me and wait in my office, beautiful.

Alana – Are you being rude to me?

Benjamin – Yes.

Alana – I didn't come here to talk to you, sir, so no! And as a courtesy, don't call me beautiful.

Heitor lets out a laugh, Benjamin gives him a dirty look, he pulls himself together. Sorry, friend, but she just shut you down hard.

Benjamin – Did she just reject me? To my face?

Heitor – Yes, and he laughs at his face, imagine, he's never been rejected.

The receptionists – Wow, everyone wanted to be in her place, what a stuck-up girl.

Luiza and William laugh, it seems it didn't work with her, that's good.

William – Let's give them a little help.

He calls the receptionist and asks her to send Alana up.

Receptionist – Miss Alana, you can go up, on the top floor, they are waiting for you.

Alana – Thank you.

Alana – I walk past Mr. Thinks-He's-All-That and his friend who were talking slowly and I realize they are coming after me, damn it!

Benjamin – Hmm, I'm going to take advantage and go along, wow, what a butt.

Alana – Rude, idiot.

Benjamin – Were you talking to me?

Alana – If it was you who spoke, then yes.

Heitor was laughing but he controlled himself.

She gets in the elevator and they do too.

Then…

Benjamin – You are very beautiful.

Alana – Please, could you behave yourself and stop trying to get my attention?

Benjamin thinking – Wow, what a blow, this woman is irritating me.

Heitor wasn't even breathing, he wanted to laugh so badly.

The elevator arrives.

She gets out and they follow her and you could hear Heitor laughing.

Benjamin – It's not funny at all, Heitor.

Heitor – Yes it is, the first rejection is never easy.

Alana had already gone inside.

Benjamin stops in front of the two secretaries and says,

- Do you think I'm ugly?

Paula – You are such a catch, handsome and hmm.

Dona Marcia was the oldest secretary in the company, she had been there for 30 years, she had known Benjamin since he was a little boy.

Dona Marcia laughing – Boy, you are handsome, and that girl is different from the others.

Benjamin looks at Heitor who is laughing and says to her - Let's work.

Entering his office.
