Episode 9

In William and Luiza's living room

Luiza – My dear, come in.

William – Good morning, Alana.

Alana – Good morning, how are you?

They – We're well, thank you for asking.

William – We can negotiate the details.

Alana breathes – Yes, we can.

William – I would like to know your considerations.

Alana – I will not have any intimacy with your son.

We will not sleep in the same room.

I will respect him for these two years, but before society, I demand the same.

I will continue my professional life and my studies, my runs.

Luiza – I agree, but...

I need you to consider... You will have to be affectionate with him in public, and it is very likely that kisses will happen.

As for sleeping in separate rooms, that's fine, only if my father-in-law shows up, then you will have to work around it.

As for working at night, we'll have to talk to Benjamin.

Alana – I need to keep my career.

William – I agree, but I need you to know that you will be the wife of one of the biggest businessmen and you will be a "celebrity", and for two years I will help you, Alana, but I need you to help me!

Alana – All right, but who is your son?

William and Luiza laugh – You don't know him?

Alana – I'll be honest, I even researched him yesterday, but I didn't see any photos, the photos I saw he was kissing women and I didn't notice his face.

William – I'm sorry about that, he's helpless, I hope you are.

Luiza – You met him at the reception.

William – You went up in the elevator together.

Alana thinking – It can't be, that idiot.

Alana – I went up with two men.

Luiza – The tallest one.

Alana – Hmm, serious?

William – Yes, any problem?

Alana – It will depend on him, I already see that he lives up to his reputation.

Luiza – How so, Alana?

Alana – If he stops with the jokes.

William laughs – I apologize for that.

Alana – Does he already know?

Luiza – Not yet.

Luiza – Just one thing, Alana, you'll have to accept new clothes, sorry to say so, but as you know, you'll be our son's wife and...

Alana – That's fine, I accept it because I really don't have any, I made a point of looking ugly and I didn't care about clothes. I needed to focus on my profession and since I have a lot of male students, it was a strategy to avoid being harassed.

Luiza – Great, dear, you're already very special to me.

Alana – Thank you, I will do everything to continue to be so, I liked you very much, sorry, it's just that I miss my mother.

Luiza – Imagine, we'll get along great.

Alana – So I'll go and when you need me, just send me a message.

William – No, Alana, wait here, please, Luiza and I will go to Benjamin's office and we'll be right back with him so you can talk and sign the contract later today. I want to set the wedding date.

Alana – I'm freaking out, but what to do now, I already accepted it, when before it starts, before it ends.

Alana – All right.

In Benjamin's office

Luiza and William – Good morning, son.

Benjamin – Good morning.

Are you alone?

Benjamin – Yes, Heitor went to get some papers.

William – Great, and how are you?

Benjamin – I'm doing.... remembering the brush-off I just got, I just can't find a wife.

Luiza – That's what we came to talk about.

William – We found the right woman to be your wife.

Luiza – Perfect.

Benjamin – Now you've scared me, who is she that won both of your admiration?

At that moment, Heitor arrives.

Heitor – Hey, Uncle, Aunt.

They – Hey, dear.

Heitor – Do you want me to leave?

They – No, you'll find out anyway because Benjamin tells you everything.

Heitor – All right, then.

William – Benjamin, she's in our office waiting.

Luiza – She came up in the elevator with you and Heitor.

Benjamin – Are you serious?

William – Did you think she was ugly?

Heitor bursts out laughing.

Benjamin – That's not it.

Heitor – Can I?

Luiza – Of course.

Heitor – He just got a couple of cuts from her and one... rejection, or rather, the first one, and laughs.

William looks at him and laughs and Luiza follows.

Benjamin – You guys are funny, okay, I got rejected, but she's going to marry me, give me a little smile.

Luiza – So, do you accept?

Benjamin – Do I have a choice?

William – You can find another one or I can wait a little longer.

Benjamin – Let's go, since you liked her, I have to get married anyway and I want to see her face after rejecting me, she'll have to marry me.

Heitor – Wounded pride.

Benjamin – Mind your own business.

William and Luiza smiling – It's just that there are a few rules you're going to have to respect, and we'd better tell you before we go to her, I don't know if you'll agree.

Benjamin sits down – Okay, I'm ready, you can tell me what the princess wants, I'm sure an allowance, a credit card, to boss me around, to travel, to be the only one.

Luiza laughing – None of that.

Benjamin and Heitor – No!

William – No! This one is different from the others, you will have to learn to live with her, Benjamin, because we said that she is perfect to be your wife, and we also liked her very much. But first, I want to tell you why she accepted and tell you all about her father and everything you knew about her.

Luiza – Son, look, she didn't even have a steady boyfriend, to be honest, I don't think she was even intimate with anyone.

Benjamin thinking – I'm already married then, what an idiot her father is, how cruel to his daughter, I hate him, and she has personality, not accepting anything but to pay off the debt, she's worthy.

Benjamin – I'll marry her! But what are the conditions?

William

"She will not be intimate with you and you will sleep in separate rooms."

"She wants you to let her continue her career and life, of course," she said that she will respect you and they will tell him everything.

Benjamin thinking – She doesn't want me, everyone wants me, how so?

Heitor – This one is different and look on the bright side, she only behaves in front of society as you wanted, you can continue your life.

Benjamin – Yes, but...

Luiza – But what, Benjamin?

Benjamin – She doesn't want me, everyone wants me!

William – I told you she was different and when we told you it was you, what had you gone up with her.

At this, William laughs.

She said she'll marry you if you stop with the jokes, which I don't know, I think you know.

Heitor laughing.

Benjamin – Let's go talk to her, if she doesn't want jokes, that's fine, but she's going to marry me.

Luiza smiles – So you've made up your mind.

Benjamin – Yes, she will have to marry me, she's going to pay me.

William interesting and smiles.

Heitor just laughed.
