Episode 10

The three return

Benjamin, she was reading the same book. And beautiful? What kind of thoughts are these? It must be madness, she irritates me!

Benjamin- Hi again, it seems like you will be my wife, he said smiling.

Alana – Hi, nice to meet you. Alana. Wife? That will depend on you.

Benjamin – Sorry, Benjamin. Nice to meet you, beautiful.

Alana – Don’t call me beautiful.

Benjamin – But I'm here to talk to you, so we can get ready for a possible two-year marriage.

Alana – Yes, but you don't have to call me that.

Benjamin – You are difficult.

Alana – Look, I'll be very clear and honest with you.

I'm marrying you to pay off my father's debt and to help you with your business as CEO, but let's be very clear:

"I won't be intimate with you."

"We will sleep in separate rooms."

"I will continue my career, my professional life."

"I will respect you, don't worry, and you can have your girlfriends however you want as long as it's not public. In other words, don't appear in the media. Only for two years, then you can continue with your life of exhibitionism."

"And no funny business, Mr. Benjamin, or I'll kill you."

Benjamin – Hmm, but if you want to sleep with me... he said with a smile.

Alana – No! That's not going to happen.

Benjamin – But I'm going to put in a note that if it's out of your own free will, you can.

Alana – You can put it in, nothing will happen beyond appearances.

Benjamin – Speaking of appearances, you know that we will have to deceive a lot of people, that is, pretend very well. And there will be kisses and caresses.

Alana – I know, but only in public and without exaggeration! Otherwise, there will be a fight and separation! Do you understand? I prefer the consequences to exaggeration or excess. There's one more thing you need to know. I won't accept a driver or anything like that. I have my car and I'm not giving it up.

Benjamin – You're tough, but that's okay, I agree.

William and Luiza whispering to each other, She's going to put him in his place, they said smiling.

But I tell you...

I don't want my wife dating other people.

Alana – Are you deaf, Benjamin?

Benjamin – No! You are crazy!

Alana – I told you, I will respect you for these two years and for me, being without anyone for two years is easy, so don't worry about that, it's not my priority.

His parents just watched and were surprised by them.

Benjamin – Great, I like that. But you teach at night, and I don't like that.

Alana – I'm sorry, but I need my classes.

Benjamin – What if I can get your class schedule changed, like you work during the day?

Alana – Honestly, I'd really appreciate it. So, if you can manage it, great! Otherwise, I'll keep my schedule.

Benjamin – Deal.

William – Very well, from what I've seen you two agree.

Benjamin – Yes, I agree. I think it will be fun, these two years, he said smiling.

Alana – You will never want to get married in your life again, you can be sure of that.

William and Luiza, you will get along very well, we have the clear impression that you will get along very well. Of course, you still don't know each other, so before even announcing a wedding, you will have to start being seen in public. And the sooner you start, the sooner we can set the wedding.

In fact, you need to be married in two months at the most.

Alana – A little too fast, but the sooner it starts, the sooner it ends. I'm okay with it.

Benjamin – No problem, we just have to see about us going out, Alana. It needs to be very convincing.

Alana – It will be convincing, Benjamin, as long as you keep your hands in the right place and don't give me any funny business. Otherwise, it's going to be a scandal.

Luiza and William laughed at the scene, their son had never been rejected by any woman, he was handsome, rich, powerful, and Alana simply didn't care about any of that, and it seemed like he listened to her, which impressed them.

She imposed and he accepted all of her impositions, at no time did he consider the idea of not marrying her.

William – The contract will be ready by late afternoon and you can sign it tomorrow. Alana, I'll have them leave it at your house. As soon as you sign it, send it to me, please. And make it tomorrow!

Alana – Okay, fine.

Luiza called her aside, away from William and Benjamin.

Luiza – As for clothes, I know you're friends with Isis, and I want you to let her help you with that. She has good taste and will make you look even more beautiful, if you know what I mean, Alana.

Alana smiled – You are very kind, thank you for being like this with me. Of course, I'll let Isis help me, she's the only person I know who can do that.

Luiza – Great, put a credit card in her purse, don't say anything, she has the pin, and you can spend as much as you want. I want my future daughter-in-law to be impeccable.

Alana said goodbye to the three of them, and...

Benjamin – We'll have to appear in public tomorrow, Alana.

Alana – Okay, but it will have to be lunch or something, I have classes every night, Benjamin.

Benjamin – Don't worry, we'll go out tomorrow night.

Alana – Okay, so work your magic.

Benjamin – Are you doubting?

Alana – Maybe… until...

She left and...

Benjamin – She irritates me so much!

Luiza laughed – I told you, she's perfect for you.

Benjamin – What do you mean?

Luiza – She doesn't do everything you want, or how you want, and she leaves it at that.

Benjamin – Tell me something.

Luiza – Go ahead.

Benjamin – What were you talking to her about, away from us?

Luiza – Son, the girl only works, supports her father, studies, and she insisted on dressing badly and looking ugly.

Benjamin – Why?

Luiza – If you're ugly, it's easier to get rid of harassment.

Benjamin – Hmm, I understand.

But who's going to help her, and the money, those things are expensive I think, because I'm not a woman.

Luiza laughed – Don't worry, I've taken care of everything. And your friend Isis will help her.

She knows Isis?

Benjamin – How so?

Luiza – Calm down, I thought the same thing, but then I understood. Tell me how you two met.

Benjamin – Hmm, she's a good person.

William – I think you liked her too much, or was it because she blew you off? He laughed at him.

Benjamin – I don't deserve to hear that, I'm going to work.

William – Okay, go ahead.

William arrived at the office and Heitor already came in asking questions. He ended up telling him, and they ended up working very little that morning.
