Na vida passada, fiz de tudo para ajudar minha melhor amiga, mas em fim, fui traída pelo meu noivo e meu irmão, que juntos destruíram minha empresa. Me lembrei de que caída na chuva, enquanto os três riam da minha dor. — Lorena, olha para você! Igual a um cachorro abandonado! — Eles zombaram, cruéis. Mas, num piscar de olhos, voltei no tempo. Estava três anos atrás, na reunião decisiva da licitação. Naquela época, minha empresa ainda era pequena. Meu irmão e noivo fingiam se importar com ética, dizendo que eu não devia usar as conexões das famílias Duarte e Nogueira. Porém, pelas costas, davam o melhor projeto para "minha amiga" só para vê-la sorrir feliz.
