Episode 3

Miguel went to the gym in the building's condo where he lives and ran a bit to sweat out the alcohol he drank excessively the day before, then went to the pool, took a shower before entering and took good strokes and then floated relaxing, relaxed.

When he left and returned to the building, he saw a red car pass and park next to his. He watched the elegant woman in a white suit get out of the car and enter the building, entering through the social elevator and he followed through the sports one. Arriving at his apartment, he called the front desk.

"How can I help you, Mr. Mendes?"

"Someone parked the car in my neighbor's spot and it wasn't his car."

"I'll check it out, sir, thank you."

He hung up and tried to forget, but the image of the elegant woman remained in his head. He got dressed and went down to have lunch outside and the red car was still there, but he decided not to worry anymore. Maybe the complaining neighbor is dating the elegant woman. Elegant and beautiful!

The days passed quickly with the new venture, Miguel was always around with the engineer and Alvaro, looking at the schedule, to meet the correct deadline and did not notice the time passing, until a bailiff was sent to his office, carrying a basket.

"Good morning, CEO Mendes, I am the bailiff from the children's court and I was tasked with delivering your daughter to you. Here are some personal items of the baby and the documents, of course. The mother has completely given up custody, so this little darling is all yours."

The man didn't wait for an answer, placed the basket on the armchair and taking advantage of the CEO's shock, showed where he should sign the receipt and, having fulfilled his service, ran away from there as if he had a swarm of bees behind him.

Miguel was still static when Alvaro and the secretary entered the room to see why there was such a desperate baby crying inside the office.

"Miguel? Miguel, wake up!" Alvaro called.

"Oh, my God, it's a little darling, poor thing." the secretary approached the basket and saw that it was a girl and took her in her arms.

"Be careful not to break her or we won't be able to return her!" Miguel shouted, making the baby cry even more.

"Don't shout, you're scaring her. Are there documents?"

"Yes, here." he showed the envelope with his eyes.

Alvaro took the papers and as he read, he frowned and at the end announced:

"There is no return, she is all yours."

"There is a bag, I'll see if there is a bottle, she must be hungry."

The secretary found a ready-made bottle, sat with the baby in her arms and put the nipple in her little mouth and feeling it, she opened her mouth and sucked strongly, feeding avidly.

"Calm down, darling, or you'll choke."

"I think it's good for you to get out of this apathy and start taking action. Hire an experienced nanny or a nurse, see, here is a prescription for medication and food for her. If it's not in the bag, provide everything."

"Okay, you can do all that."

"Oh, no way, I warned you and you didn't listen to me, now take care, because the daughter is yours and her name is Gabriela. Bye."

He went to the little baby and saw her round and rosy face, she must have been a month old, too young to go through that abandonment situation. His friend was reckless with women, he hoped he wouldn't be with his daughter. He left after telling the secretary not to help him, the responsibility was his.

The secretary finished feeding and took the baby to the father, lined his shoulder with a cloth that came in the bag and placed her face down there.

"Hold on, I'll let go, put her to burp." She took her hands away and he held the baby, quickly, afraid she would fall.

When he realized, the secretary had already left and he was alone with a baby, not knowing what to do.

"What did Alvaro say? Hire a nanny or nurse, that's it."

He held the baby with one hand and went to the phone and called the personnel department, requesting a nanny or nurse urgently. The head of the DP didn't understand anything, but sent the company's hired nurse, who arrived there and got a scare.

"Don't look at me like that and help, please, I'll pay well, it's an emergency."

"Everything for the CEO, I'll do better. I have a niece who is a professional nanny, I'll call her to come right now."

"I'm very grateful and I'll pay well, I need you to stay tonight or at least tonight."

The nurse picked up the cell phone and called, speaking quickly with her niece and hanging up.

"She'll take half an hour to get here, meanwhile, I'll check the patient's condition."

She took the baby, who complained, took her to the basket, took off her clothes and examined her, cleaned her, put on diaper rash ointment and dressed her with a diaper and clean clothes.

"I'll make a list of what you'll need to buy."

Miguel sighed in relief, when the nanny arrived, he would take advantage and buy everything on the way.
