Episode 4

Nicole: I left the mansion and went straight to the gym to train. I feel calmer after throwing a few punches.

Julio/Trainer: Are you okay, Nicole? Nicole arrives at the gym straight to training; she's stressed.

(Julio, 30 years old, boxing trainer)

Nicole: I'm not okay; I'm stressed. Can we train a little longer today?

Julio: Yes, we can. Do you want to talk?

Nicole: No, I just want to relieve all this anger I'm feeling. I'm not in the mood for talking. We trained a little longer. I leave the gym exhausted and head straight home, take a shower, get dressed, and go to the company where I do some limousine driver gigs for events. The hours fly by, and I don't get called to drive. I go back home frustrated.

Anna: What happened, friend? I know Nicole very well, and just like her, I know when something's wrong just by looking at her.

Nicole: That interview, friend, once again, they didn't even look at my resume simply because I'm a woman! I'm telling you because I know Anna doesn't let anything slide.

Anna: Oh, friend, come here. Look, there are a lot of sexist jerks in this world, but don't worry, okay? You are incredible; you'll be hired soon! Do you want to be my driver tonight?

Nicole: Seriously, Anna? I'm in a terrible mood. I don't feel like going out.

Anna: For me, friend, I felt bad yesterday, and I don't want to feel like that again. Let's go, please?

Nicole: Blackmailer, I swear. Okay, but I don't want to be late.

Anna: Yay! I already picked out our looks.

Nicole: So you already knew I was going?

Anna: I wasn't sure, but as the saying goes, "A prepared woman is worth ten." Come on, let's go. I want to have a lot of fun tonight.

Nicole: Don't overdo it, friend! I get dressed, and I even like the look Anna chose.

(Nicole)

Anna: Wow, you look hot! I really have good taste! Shall we?

(Anna)

Nicole: You're the one who looks incredible; let's go, friend! We leave the house; I drive my car. We arrive at the club; Anna is a VIP client, so we enter directly and are escorted to the VIP area.

At the office...

Cassio: Brayan, I need your signature.

Brayan: Damn, don't you know how to knock?!

Cassio: I know how to knock; I just don't know how to wait, so I come right in. Sign here and tell your friend that you're free today.

Brayan: Signed, and I'm not free. I have a photoshoot with Katherine, unfortunately.

Cassio: Perfect, my friend. She already hates me anyway; might as well blame it on me. Besides, it's always good to leave Katherine irritated!

Brayan: You know what, I will. Katherine knows I hate these photoshoots. I need to relax. I decided to ditch Katherine. I don't want to continue this relationship, so there's no point in doing photoshoots.

Cassio: Great. Don't you have a driver?

Brayan: No, today Mario stays until the end of the workday at the company, then he's officially off.

Cassio: I'll pick you up then. Don't take too long. I want to enjoy the night. The hours fly by, we leave the company. I get ready and go to pick up Brayan. We head to the club. I arrive, and we go straight in. I'm a partner in the club. I'm in the VIP area; I look to the side and can't believe who I'm seeing. I never forget a face, perfect for not repeating the same woman.

Brayan, isn't that your new driver on the other side of the VIP area?

(Cassio)

(Brayan)

Brayan: Shit! This can't be happening; twice in the same day?! She's not my driver. I see Nicole on the other side of the VIP area; she looks even hotter.

Cassio: What matters now is knowing who that hottie next to her is. Nicole is accompanied; her friend is beautiful.

Anna: Let's go down for a bit, friend. Do you want to dance?

Nicole: Why not? Let's go. I go down with Anna. She asks the DJ to play a Brazilian song. We started dancing together, getting low and shaking our hips. I notice several eyes on us, but I disconnect, feeling only the beat of the music. I'm not in the mood to hook up with anyone tonight.

Cassio: I can't help it, man; I need to meet Nicole's friend. She drove me crazy just dancing; this woman's insane!

Brayan: I prefer the company of my whiskey. Cassio goes down to meet Nicole's friend. I'll stay here watching her dance. She doesn't seem to be worried about anything; she's comfortable on the dance floor. I'm just admiring her.

Cassio: Hi beautiful, can I dance with you? I approach her and look into her eyes. She really is beautiful!

Anna: Hi, I'm Anna. It'll be a pleasure!

Cassio: The pleasure is all mine, Anna. My name is Cassio. We started dancing. Anna is driving me crazy. I invite her to join me at the bar. I want to talk to her. She lets Nicole know and follows me to the bar. I take her hand because the club is packed, and I feel an electric current run through my body. This woman is doing things to me.

Nicole: It seems like Anna met someone; she goes to the bar, and I keep dancing. I feel someone grab my waist forcefully; I'm startled by the heavy touch and look back. I've never seen this man in my life.

Let go of me, please. I'm not in the mood to dance with anyone.

Man: You'll be in the mood as soon as you feel how you made me want to dance with you, hot stuff.

Brayan: I'm watching Nicole dance when I see a man approach her and grab her waist. She gets scared and seems to get angry. The man doesn't let go of her. I don't know why, but I get pissed and quickly go down to where she is.

Nicole: I'm not in the mood! What part of that don't you understand? Let go of me! The man presses me harder.

Man: Come on, hottie, let's have some fun.

Nicole: I get nervous because even though I asked, the man won't let go of me. I elbow him. I feel him release my waist and groan in pain. Then I punch him twice and kick him hard in the balls. He falls to the ground, writhing in pain. Several security guards approach me. I just raise my hands; I don't want anyone touching me.

Brayan: I quickly go down to help Nicole, and I'm surprised when I see her beating up the guy who was grabbing her. Damn, the guy's on the floor, writhing in pain! Soon the security guards arrive, and unbelievably, they head towards Nicole.

Cassio: Wow, your friend is a badass! Nicole beats up a man who was grabbing her; I'm impressed. But I'm even more impressed to see Brayan down here.

Anna: Don't you dare touch her, you brutes! She was just defending herself! I yell at the security guards approaching Nicole; she was just defending herself.
