Episode 19

Renan: Julia, can we talk for a minute?

Julia: Can it be in the living room?

Renan: Sure, whatever you prefer.

We went down and sat on the sofa.

Renan: Did you receive the flowers and the note?

Julia: Yes, I did…

Renan: I hope you can at least forgive me, I don't know what went through my head when…

Julia: Mr. Renan, I just want to be sure that this will never happen again.

Renan: Of course, I give you my word.

Julia: Okay, I think I feel better now.

Renan: I'm sorry Julia, I didn't want to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable...

Julia: Let's forget about it, it's over, what can we do to change? Just act differently from now on, right?

Renan: You're right.

Julia: I think we understand each other… I'm going to wake up the kids, it's a little after their time.

Renan: Okay.

I go to Bia's room and then I wake Gabriel up.

Julia: Come on sleepyhead, wake up.

I tickle him.

…***Days later…***…

Today marks one month that I've been here, last weekend I asked Virginia to help me create a bank account and she helped me, today I woke up with the notification that the money had arrived, Mr. Renan kept his word and I received three salaries for this month's work, now the cleaning lady will be back and I can dedicate more time to the kids.

Renan: Good morning, Julia.

Julia: Good morning, Mr. Renan, you woke up earlier than me today, what a miracle.

Renan: Well, I have to sort out some things at the company. Speaking of which, Mrs. Paula is coming today, she'll be here soon.

Julia: Okay, Mr. Renan.

Renan: Take advantage of the fact that she's coming today and talk to Luis to take you and Beatriz for a walk while Gabriel is at school.

Julia: Okay, I think it will be good for Bia.

Renan: Take care, bye.

Julia: Bye.

He left in a hurry.

Mr. Renan and I, thank God, really worked things out, I did as we agreed and so did he, nothing about talking about what happened and moving on, continuing like this our relationship will continue to work out very well.

Paula: Good morning, you must be Julia.

Julia: Hi, good morning! Yes, I'm Julia, the children's nanny.

Paula: Nice to meet you, Julia, I'm Paula.

Julia: It's a pleasure, Mrs. Paula, Mr. Renan spoke very highly of you.

Paula: I met him on his way out. The kids are still sleeping, aren't they?

Julia: Yes, I'm preparing breakfast before waking up Gabriel for school.

Paula: All right, dear, it's just that I'm really missing those chubby cheeks.

I smile.

Paula: I'm going to put my uniform on and I'll be right back.

Julia: Okay, Mrs. Paula.

Paula: Don't call me Mrs. Paula, just Paulinha.

Julia: As you prefer, Paulinha.

Paula: That's better, Julinha!

We laughed and she goes to change into her uniform, I can already tell that we're going to get along very well.

I finish breakfast and go call Gabriel, we go downstairs and he's happy to see Paulinha, after breakfast he goes to school and I stay with Bia.

Paula: I miss Rosa so much in this house…

Julia: Were you very close?

Paula: Yes, we've been working together for many years.

Julia: I understand… I'm very sorry for your loss, when I arrived I could tell that the children felt it too.

Paula: Well, that's life, we all die one day…

Julia: Tell me more about her.

Paula: What do you want to know?

Julia: Whatever you want to tell.

Paula: Okay… Look, in addition to working here, I work weekends at a very cool restaurant, it's my sister-in-law's and it has live music, dancing.

Julia: Wow, that's cool! What do you do there?

Paula: I sing.

Julia: Seriously?

We chatted while I took care of Bia and she tidied up the living room.

Julia: Excuse me Paulinha, I'm going to take this call.

I go out for a walk with Bia in the garden and answer Virginia.

📱Virginia: Girl, you won't believe who asked me out again!

📱Julia: This time you're going, aren't you? Don't stand up the poor Luis, girl, he likes you.

📱Virginia: I know girl, but the first time it was because I wasn't feeling well, the second time it was because I had to travel with Mrs. Emily.

📱Julia: I still don't understand this trip, wouldn't it be right for her to take the nanny to look after her daughter?

📱Virginia: It's just that the nanny couldn't go, so she called me… I went, she paid me good money.

📱Julia: You came back today?

📱Virginia: Yesterday, I didn't call you because I arrived very late and imagined you were already asleep.

📱Julia: It's okay girl, are you off today?

📱Virginia: Yes, on the other hand she gave me Friday, Saturday and Sunday off! That's why I agreed to go out with Luis tomorrow, but I also have to buy an outfit, I want to leave this man drooling.

I laugh.

📱Julia: You're too much! Mr. Renan even paid me my salary and said I should go out with Bia, but I wanted to go with both of them, so I'm waiting for Gabriel to arrive.

📱Virginia: Let's go to the mall, girl!

📱Julia: I don't know, I wanted to take them to a park.

📱Virginia: The mall also has toys and places for children, not to mention that it is full of security guards and there is no risk of anything happening.

📱Julia: I'm going to send a message to Mr. Renan, I'll let you know.

📱Virginia: Okay girl, let me know. Kisses.

📱Julia: Kisses.

I hang up the phone and stay with Bia in the garden for a while longer before going in to prepare lunch.

Later I leave the kitchen leaving lunch ready and go to get Gabriel at the entrance of the house, we have lunch and this time Mr. Renan didn't come for lunch, it's always a surprise.

After lunch I get the kids ready and call Mr. Renan. Obviously I hadn't said anything to Gabriel, so if Mr. Renan doesn't agree, he won't be upset.

📱Julia: Mr. Renan, can you talk now?

📱Renan: Yes I can Julia, did something happen?

📱Julia: It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask if I can go out with the kids and Luis, you mentioned that I should go with Bia, but Gabriel is already home, I didn't want to leave him.

📱Renan: And where are you thinking of going?

📱Julia: Shopping.

📱Renan: Sure, you can go, yes... I'll call Luis and ask him to be attentive. I'll also send some money to spend on whatever you need.

📱Julia: I'll take care of them, Mr. Renan, thank you for letting us go.

I hang up the phone and go to the kids.

Julia: Let's go!

Gabriel: Seriously?

Julia: Yes, honey, let's go to the mall!

He celebrates and hugs me.
