Episode 4

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Before the woman could say anything, the two women arrived.

SANTOS: You look beautiful as always, Pamela, and you too, Mrs. Roma.

VERONICA: ((He didn't even look at me))

PAMELA: Thank you, Santos, although Miss Garcia also looks… good today. _(mockingly)

ROMA: But you look even better, daughter, your tastes are more refined. _(arrogantly)

VERONICA: So refined that she wears an electric green dress combined with a bright red overcoat. And your tastes are not far behind, the combination of purple and yellow is quite unique. Apparently, in the fashion industry they haven't told you that those colors don't match.

ROMA: What do you know about fashion.

VERONICA: I know more about dressing myself than you do... Santos, those women who look like they came out of a circus are not coming with us.

SANTOS: Veronica, we don't have time to waste and I already invited them.

VERONICA: I'm not going out on the street with them, I won't be embarrassed because of them.

ROMA: What's embarrassing is going out with an orphan like you.

SANTOS: Stop arguing and let's go now.

Everyone left there and went to the restaurant. When they arrived, they took a seat. After they were given the menu, Veronica placed her order, while Santos ordered his food and Pamela's. Veronica just watched as Santos was affectionate and attentive to Pamela, while with her he was distant and curt. At that moment, the woman felt invisible to them, because although it was her birthday celebration, Santos hadn't even said happy birthday to her or given her a gift, on the contrary, he was going out of his way to attend to his friend and chat with Mrs. Roma. She was frustrated by the situation and Pamela hadn't even been in that house for a full day. She felt jealous that another woman had the attention and affection that should be hers.

PAMELA: Your jewelry is very beautiful, Veronica.

ROMA: Something like that could only be a gift from Santos.

PAMELA: Santos, I like the jewelry Veronica is wearing.

SANTOS: Veronica, give your jewelry to Pamela, I'll buy you others later.

VERONICA: You've never bought me anything, Santos. These jewels are a gift from Valeri, if your friend wants something, she can buy it herself. _(frustrated by the shamelessness of the two)

ROMA: Who could give something so expensive to a useless person like you. Give my daughter the jewelry. _(she ordered)

VERONICA: Unlike you, I do have someone who gives me gifts without having to ask for them or steal them.

SANTOS: Veronica, give the jewelry to Pamela, I'll buy you whatever you want later.

VERONICA: I already said no, these jewels are a gift from Valeri. If you want to give your friend something, then buy it.

Roma tried to tear the necklace off Veronica's neck, but she stopped her hand forcefully.

VERONICA: If you dare to take my jewelry, I will accuse you of theft and the security cameras will be proof that you snatched them from me by force. _(she said loudly)

The people who were nearby turned to look at the scene and you could clearly see the woman trying to remove the jewelry from the young woman's neck with her other hand.

"How shameless of that woman"

"What a vulgar dress, what circus did they come out of"

"She comes to a restaurant to steal"

"Isn't the one in the green dress the one who won the Model of the Year award"

"How tacky, even though she won that award, she doesn't even know how to dress"

"Haven't they taught her how to combine colors in the industry? How is it possible that a model doesn't know how to dress properly"

PAMELA: Mother, sit down. _(embarrassed and annoyed by the comments)

SANTOS: Look what you're causing, Veronica. _(annoyed)

VERONICA: Who caused this scandal was that vulgar thief.

ROMA: You damn stupid, how dare you insult me.

VERONICA: If my things disappear at home, I'll know it's you and I'll send you to the police.

SANTOS: Apologize to Mrs. Roma, immediately.

VERONICA: You are the ones who should apologize. You invited me here just to rob me.

PAMELA: It's not a robbery, Miss Garcia, I just wanted something given by Santos to you.

VERONICA: Tell me, Santos, when have you given me anything?

SANTOS: Veronica….

VERONICA: Veronica nothing, the jewels I have are bought by me or are gifts from Valeri, so don't ask me to give my things to that woman.

ROMA: Humm, if she fights for them so much it's because they must be from some lover. _(sitting down annoyed)

VERONICA: Of course, whoever uses them imagines it.

SANTOS: Veronica, I will not tolerate this childish behavior on your part any longer.

PAMELA: She's just jealous, Santos… But my mother is right, if she fights so much for those jewels it's because they were a gift from some man. _(she commented innocently)

VERONICA: Of course, whoever uses them imagines it.

SANTOS: Let's drop this matter and finish dinner.

VERONICA: I lost my appetite, you guys have dinner. _(getting up from the table)

PAMELA: Miss Garcia, stay, we are here to celebrate your birthday.

SANTOS: Sit down again, Veronica.

VERONICA: My birthday has already passed and it seems that you all forgot what we came to this restaurant for. You guys have dinner, I have more important things to do. _(leaving the place)

.

Another day has passed and while Veronica is at work, Pamela and her mother remodel the house as they please with Santos's permission.

ROMA: What simple and vulgar tastes that woman has.

PAMELA: You're right, mother, but let's continue remodeling our future home. _(she said happily)

ROMA: Good, let's go to the master bedroom. The jewels must be there, we'll take them and Santos won't let us take them away.

PAMELA: Let's go.

One of the employees heard them and called Veronica to tell her what had happened and how they had changed the house. The woman thanked her for the information and proceeded to call Thiago.

THIAGO: Hello Nikita, how are you? Did they bother you again?

VERONICA: Valeri, those women are making and unmaking in the house and all with Santos's permission. _(frustrated)

THIAGO: That damn loser, how can he allow those witches to displace you in your own house. _(angry and worried about his friend)

VERONICA: Well, I was calling you, because those damn women want some of the jewels you have given me and they plan to take them. An employee told me that they were going to the room to look for them and that Santos wouldn't say anything about it.

THIAGO: I understand, the jewels are in my name and they are insured. I will immediately report them as stolen.

VERONICA: I thank you very much.

THIAGO: You don't have to thank me, if necessary I'll send her to prison for being thieves.
