— He's an incredible friend — I answered with a smile. — And I got really excited about the proposal you mentioned. Toy design is an area I've always wanted to explore.— Perfect. Shall we start?Two other professionals entered the room. One was Júlia, marketing director, and the other, Roberto, head of the creation department. Both greeted me politely and with curiosity in their eyes. Rodolfo made the introductions and then pulled out a chair for me.— So — he began, opening the folder. — We have a new project, focused on educational toys for babies from 6 months to 3 years old. We want pieces with different textures, colors that stimulate vision and that are safe, of course. Our differential is bringing the playful with purpose. We need new ideas. And that's where you come in.My eyes lit up. It was exactly the kind of challenge I liked.— One thing that came to mind immediately — I started, resting my elbows on the table with excitement — are building blocks that not only fit toget

— I have some ideas in mind — I said, getting excited. — I want to work with emotional branding, rescue the company's identity and connect it in a more human way with the public. The image of CompanyRocha needs to reflect what it has strongest: its history, its essence... and the ability to reinvent itself.— I like that — Miqueias nodded, crossing his arms. — Talking about feeling, about presence. That has much more impact today than just pushing product.— Exactly. The consumer wants to see themselves represented. They want purpose, they want truth. And that's what I want to show.— When you have the first drafts, show me. I want to follow closely.— You can count on it — I assured. — It'll be good to have someone with the administrative vision by my side. Diogo watched everything with that silly smile of someone who knew he had made the right choice.— You two are going to make quite a duo — he commented. — Larissa has fire in her ideas and Miqueias has the structure to channel all

I wasn't going to my company now. I drove without thinking twice. I was going straight to Diogo's company.Enough of this shit of waiting for answers to fall from the sky. It was time to understand... what the hell Larissa was still doing.I waited in Diogo's office. The air conditioning was colder than it should be and, even so, I was sweating. I sat on the dark leather sofa, threw my bag on the floor and rested my elbows on my knees. My head was pounding, the bitter taste in my mouth wouldn't go away.The door opened and Vitória came in.— Coffee, Mr. Alessandro. — she said with that smile she always used when she wanted to flirt.She bent down to put the cup on the coffee table and, for a moment, the neckline of her dress stared at me before she even looked me in the eyes. I stared back, without any guilt. I still knew how to appreciate the body of a beautiful woman. And she was beautiful. Long legs, thin waist, dirty look.So why the hell did sex with Chiara feel like a weight?Sh

I spent the whole weekend in that hotel, locked in a cold room with empty bottles, pillows thrown on the floor and my head spinning. I ignored Chiara, she sent messages, called, tried to find out where I was. But I didn't want to see anyone. Especially her.I woke up early on Monday, or at least I opened my eyes, actually sleeping I hadn't slept. I had a weak coffee in the hotel lobby and went straight to the company. I was wrecked.Literally.I arrived before everyone. I parked in the underground garage and went straight up to my floor. I entered my office and went to the private bathroom. I took off the wrinkled clothes and got into the hot shower trying to wash away the mess I was inside. It didn't help much, but at least I looked less like a zombie.I put on one of the reserve suits I always keep in the emergency closet. White shirt, dark blazer, crooked tie, I didn't even bother to fix it. I looked at myself in the mirror and almost didn't recognize myself. Wrinkled face, deep da

— Well... I didn't know Brazil had become private property. — I gave an ironic little smile. — Am I forbidden from coming back, by any chance?She seemed surprised by my tone. Maybe she expected the same quiet Larissa, who swallowed everything to not make the situation worse. But that Larissa had stayed in another country. Literally.— Funny... you always so sneaky, now with that sharp tongue. — Rosa commented, adjusting her purse on her shoulder with that air of superiority she loved to show off.— Life teaches you. — I shrugged, trying to stay calm. I knew she was going to poke.— Life or the men you manipulate? — she let out, dry. — At least this time, I hope you don't destroy anyone else. Respect your elders, girl.That hurt. It hit my chest like a punch. But I didn't let it show. My gaze didn't waver. I just took a step forward, keeping the same smile.— I learned to be polite and kind to those who are polite and kind to me. — I said in a calm tone, even light. — If you want resp
