Episode 2

Narrator: The girl wakes up very early and goes to exercise, then she comes back to take a shower, has breakfast, and heads to the company very early, as she needs to be there before her boss arrives.

Alexa: Good morning, Mr. Leandro -with folders in one hand and a coffee in the other-

Thank you, Miss Alexa, for bringing me the companies that will compete for the massier.moda campaign. I also have your personal agenda here to show you what you have scheduled for today.

Leandro: Thank you very much, Miss Alexa. You can leave now, and please let me know when Mr. Steven arrives.

I am Steven, Leandro's friend who sometimes takes him away from work, and you could say I am his conscience too. I am also 29 years old and work as a photographer in his company.

Hello, Miss Pavaronic, how are you? -smiles-

Alexa: and this is Mr. Steven, another womanizer, but he's a sweetheart, incredibly cute, and his flirtatious glances make me melt.

Serious - Good day, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Leandro is waiting for you in his office.

Steven: -flirting- You look just as beautiful today as you did yesterday -smiles-

Alexa: -serious- Thank you! I always have to remain serious with him to avoid any one-sided feelings. This man, I don't know, but he only charms women for fun.

Narrator: Steven enters his friend's office and finds him in a rage while talking on the phone.

📱 Leandro: Well, forget about it, Leonardo.

📱 Leonardo, stepbrother: Well, I'm just saying that you turn 30 in a month, and dad was very clear about what he said in his will.

📱 Leandro: Go to hell! This company belongs to my mother and father, so I will be the one in charge.

📱 Leonardo: Just a reminder, your father is my father, so I also have a right to that company.

📱 Leandro: Go to hell! (hangs up)

Steven: Your little brother again...

Leandro: Reminding me that I'll be 30 in a month and if I'm not married, he'll take over the company.

Steven: Two years ago, you gave him the opportunity to join the company, and all he did was steal and bring it to the brink of bankruptcy.

Leandro: He'd better hope I kill him before handing over my parents' company.

Steven: Well, what do you plan to do? Because he's right, you know.

Leandro: I'm going to get married, but I won't hand over my company.

Steven: Are you serious? But who with?

Leandro: I don't know, we have to find a woman who is not flashy, traditional, and with whom we can agree on money so that I can be at peace and she can have a good amount of money.

Steven: But do you already have someone in mind?

Narrator: At that moment, there's a knock on the door, and it's Alexa with some coffees.

Alexa: Excuse me, I brought you breakfast and this document that just arrived from the company Toda Moda, sir.

Narrator: While she speaks with her boss, Steven looks her up and down, studying her closely.

Leandro: Thank you very much, you may leave.

Steven: -interrupting his friend- Miss Pavaronic, are you married?

Alexa: -surprised by his question- I'm sorry?

Steven: Please forgive me, but I want to know if you're married.

Alexa: -my nerves betray me, God, why is this adonis asking me this?- No, Mr. Steven.

Steven: And do you currently have a boyfriend or partner?

Leandro: -noticing his secretary's discomfort, he says to his friend- Steven, please, show some respect!

Alexa: I don't have a partner or boyfriend, I don't have time for anything, Mr. Steven. I work from 7:00 in the morning until Mr. Leandro leaves. Is there anything else about my private life that you need to know? 🤨

Leandro: -apologetic- I'm sorry, Miss Alexa, please forgive us both.

Alexa: Excuse me -she walks out of the office-

Leandro: -angrily looks at Steven- -asks- What is wrong with you?

Steven: What do you mean what's wrong? Can't you see? She's perfect, exactly what we're looking for! She's discreet, intelligent, and beautiful.

Leandro: Beautiful? Haha, she's intelligent and discreet, yes.

Steven: Don't get confused, Leandro. She's a woman to marry, she's got it all, and yes, she's beautiful.

Leandro: I think your eyesight is failing. Even if she meets the requirements, I can't imagine being married to her, living with her, I don't think I can.

Steven: Well, remember, what you need is a wife in name and on paper. The rest, well, you can agree on having no intimacy, and that's it.

Leandro: But you don't understand... In order for me to have full control of the presidency, I have to get married and have children. That's why I haven't married before, if it was just about getting married, I would have done it a long time ago.

Steven: Even more reason why she's the best option for you. You already know her, and you know she's not crazy. She's discreet, intelligent, and a good girl.

Leandro: But at least she should bring something to the table, don't you think? I'm not saying she's ugly, I just feel like she's not my type!

Steven: Well, I find her attractive. She's beautiful, intelligent, exactly what I would look for when I get married.

Leandro: You are capable of grabbing onto anything that walks in front of you, no matter how unappealing.

Steven: Think about it and you'll realize that she is the most suitable option. Treat it like a job and you don't have to sleep with her if you don't want to. You can just ask her to undergo insemination and that's it.

Leandro: Shut up! If she has been working for me for so long, it's because I am not attracted to her at all. Let's drop this subject here.

Narrator: A few days passed and Leandro couldn't get the idea that his friend Steven had planted in his head out of his mind.
