Episode 14

Two days later, Eder returned to the OL company, alongside Sara. The employees observed the CEO and greeted him as he entered.

Eder Olid: Patricia?

Patricia: Yes, sir?

Eder Olid: Please, come to my office in about ten minutes?

Patricia: Yes, sir, of course.

The man entered the elevator with the woman who accompanied him.

Deise: Who is that?

Patricia: I don't know, but I didn't like her. Did you see? She didn't say good morning to anyone.

Marcia: And does anyone know about Louis?

Heriberto: He's on vacation.

Marcia: Vacation? How come?

Heriberto: Why not? I work in Human Resources, of course I know who's on vacation.

Marcia: Oh, okay. I understand.

Patricia: Guys, I'm going up.

Marcia: Okay, tell us everything later, okay?

Patricia entered Eder's office.

Patricia: Sir?

Eder Olid: Patricia, I need you and the marketing teams to help shift the focus from what happened on the day of the tribute. To do this, announce that OL Company will now be holding a charity event. Find an organization to help and take care of this part for me.

Patricia: Yes sir, is there a value limit for the investment?

Eder Olid: Check with Louis and... Well, no. Just show me afterward.

Patricia: Right, excuse me.

Eder Olid: He really did well in accounting.

Sara Alencar: Eder, an Omega has no skills that cannot be surpassed, most, in fact, don't. You can't go back anymore. If you want your brother to respect you, you can't go back on your word.

Eder Olid: Right. And do you think I can talk to him now? I want to explain that he has to stay at our apartment in the next town. Just as you advised, I have to keep him away.

Sara Alencar: Well, I think it's better to wait another day. We don't want him to lose control again.

Eder Olid: I understand... And will I ever be cured of this?

Sara Alencar: Of course, you will. Everything has its process, and maybe in your case, it's more serious. Your brother, even if indirectly, was responsible for your parents' death, it's normal to resent him.

Nestor Grize: Well, well, well!?

Eder and Sara looked at the door and saw Nestor approaching.

Nestor Grize: You're a psycho what? Can I take a look at your credentials?

Sara Alencar: I've been the family's professional for over eight years. The Olids trusted me, who do you think you are to say otherwise?

Nestor Grize: I am an intelligent man. And intelligent men are as dangerous as intelligent women. I think we're on the same level, aren't we?

Eder Olid: What do you want?

Nestor Grize: I want to relieve your problems.

Eder Olid: What? Relieve me how?

Sara Alencar: Eder, you don't have to bother with this man. You've just recovered.

Nestor Grize: Eder, please. Look for me when you want to talk about this. But what I am willing to give you is what I have denied myself many times before.

Sara Alencar: He doesn't have to make any kind of deal with you.

Nestor Grize: No, he doesn't have to, but he might want to.

Nestor left Eder's office.

Eder Olid: What is he willing to give me? Could it be..

Sara Alencar: Ignore him. You came here today to get back to work. And I'm going to be by your side this time.

Eder Olid: Thank you.

A few hours later, Eder couldn't stop thinking about what that man was offering. He left his office and followed.

...

Nestor was sitting at his desk, staring at the computer screen.

Nestor Grize: {Will you never disobey your brother again? I can't stand being away from you anymore. I don't accept you hiding from me because of a promise. I simply cannot and will not leave it like this.}

Nestor looked at the door and saw Eder.

Nestor Grize: Come in! It's great you came alone.

Eder closed the door and approached.

Eder Olid: What are you offering?

Nestor Grize: My share of the company.

Eder's eyes widened in disbelief.

Eder Olid: Are you serious?

Nestor Grize: Yes.

Eder Olid: And how much do you want for it?

Nestor Grize: I want Louis.

Eder Olid: What did you say? You want Louis, how so? You really are a pervert.

Nestor Grize: I want to marry him, I want to take him to my house.

Eder Olid: I accept.

Nestor Grize: You didn't even think!? Do you hate him so much because you think he's to blame for your parents' death?

Eder Olid: It doesn't matter how I feel about him. I accept your proposal. I'll hand him over to you tomorrow.

Nestor Grize: I have one condition in this agreement.

Eder Olid: There's still a condition? What?

Nestor Grize: I want to continue working here, in this sector. I believe that my work is not disapproved of by anyone.

Eder Olid: You will be my employee. Great. Let's make a contract.

Nestor Grize: As you wish. Do you want to write it, or shall I do it myself?

Eder Olid: You can do it. The important thing is not to forget the details.

Nestor Grize: Right.

Eder again stared blankly out the window.

Nestor Grize: What is it? You can still back out if you want.

Eder Olid: I won't back out.

Once they were done, they both signed the contract.

Eder Olid: I think that's all. I'm going then.

When Eder was at the door, Nestor called him.

Nestor Grize: Wait a minute!

Eder Olid: What is it?

Nestor Grize: Since when has this woman been taking care of you? Of your crises?

Eder Olid: Since my parents passed away.

Nestor Grize: I see, since your crises became more severe?

Eder Olid: That's right.

Nestor Grize: And you were the one who called her?

Eder Olid: Why so many questions? I don't care if you didn't like her! It's none of your business. Not this, much less my crises.

Eder turned his back and left.

Nestor Grize: {Okay... I won't question it. I just can't believe that a professional could say the things I heard}
