— Chefe, sobre o projeto de construção do pátio da fazenda na base do Cazaquistão, eu gostaria de participar. Do outro lado da linha, o chefe demonstrou certa surpresa: — Antes, por mais que eu insistisse, você não queria ir, dizia que queria ficar ao lado do seu namorado. Por que mudou de ideia de repente? Laura Vieira baixou as pálpebras avermelhadas e sorriu, tentando soar despreocupada: — Eu tentei, mas não adiantou. Já sabia que era hora de voltar atrás antes que fosse tarde demais. Ao ouvir isso, o chefe suspirou e falou com seriedade: — Esta é uma operação secreta. Você vai entrar no projeto com uma identidade completamente nova e, até o término, não poderá entrar em contato com o mundo exterior. Laura, você tem certeza de que pensou bem? — Sim, só quero sair daqui o quanto antes. Houve um breve silêncio do outro lado da linha, mas a resposta veio em seguida: — Certo. Mais tarde vou te enviar o acordo de confidencialidade. Os trâmites devem sair em cerca de um mês. Aproveite esse tempo para se despedir da sua família. Assim que a ligação foi encerrada, um arquivo apareceu em sua caixa de entrada. Laura leu todas as cláusulas e, determinada, assinou o acordo eletrônico de confidencialidade, confirmando o envio. Ao mesmo tempo, a televisão reprisava o lançamento do novo produto do Grupo Próspero. Ricardo Barros, vestindo um terno branco de corte impecável, conduzia Vanessa Souza lentamente pela passarela.

My mom had a sudden heart attack, and the medical bills were piling up faster than I could breathe. I was desperate, so I turned to my rich boyfriend, hoping he could help, or at least offer some kind of solution. But instead of the support I expected, he unleashed a tirade that hit harder than anything I'd ever heard. "So this is why you're with me? Just for my money? You're no different from those other women throwing themselves at me. You're all the same—pathetic and shameless!" Before I could even react, he shoved me out the door. Later, when he finally understood the full story, he handed me a bank card, no questions asked. "Candice," he said quietly, his tone almost remorseful. "The password is your birthday." I didn't say a word. I just let the card drop onto the floor and walked away without looking back.
