4- Miracles

Lena: So? How was it for my niece to spend the afternoon at her mother's work? - Lena asks the girl.

Loise: Cool, exciting and strange. - Loise sums it up in three words and Lena doesn't press the girl to elaborate, she knew that if she wanted to, she would open up and continue the conversation. - But I think I can handle staying there for the rest of the week.

Cecília: It won't be that big of a sacrifice, right Eloise? - Cecília arrives ironically in the room and pulls the girl into an awkward hug on the couch - She doesn't even love all that

Loise: Caught red-handed. - Loise spreads her hands in surrender. - Mom... - She starts confused and Cecília looks at her. - Will there be an event at G-Corp this weekend?

Cecília: Oh yes... yes there is. A shareholders' cocktail party with other company shareholders. It's basically one of those charity balls that only serve to make new contracts and attract clients.

Loise: Are you going? - She asks confused

Cecília: No. I just plan everything, as Mr. Giordano's assistant, but I'm not going. Why?

Loise: Nothing... - Loise says vaguely and goes back to being quiet, looking at the television. Lena and Cecília look at each other, they knew the girl, something was happening and it involved G-Corp. - Remember that tomorrow you need to talk to Mr. Giordano about me and me staying at G-Corp.

Cecília: Yes, thank you for reminding me, daughter.

Sam: Gustavo Benjamin Giordano... - Samantha begins - When I think you can't overcome difficult situations, you overcome them. HOW CAN YOU JUST LET HER UNDERSTAND THAT A STRANGER IS YOUR STEP-DAUGHTER?!

Gustavo: I. DON'T. KNOW! - He answers. He knew he had done something stupid, not to say stupid. - Only a miracle will do for me to find this girl again.

Sam: Gustavo, it's not just one miracle... there are three! First you need to find the girl, then find out who her mother is and finally CONVINCE THEM TO BE YOUR FAMILY! You're screwed - Sam says and drinks a little from her glass of wine. At times like this she loved not being his friend.

Gustavo: Great! If I can't even do one miracle, imagine three... - Gustavo says and throws himself on the couch - AAAAA I'M SCREWED - He shouts and puts the pillow in his face.

Cecília: Good morning Mr. Giordano. - Cecília greets him and this time Gustavo does something he's never done since she's been working there.

Gustavo: Good morning Miss Soares. I hope your day is better than mine - Gustavo says and enters his office followed by a shocked Cecília with what happened, but still prepared to do her job, and afraid of losing her job for making her request. - What are my commitments for today? - He asks, throwing himself into the chair and placing his hand on his head to avoid future pain due to worry. - By the way... I want to congratulate you on the work you did with the presentation. It was extremely important that it be self-explanatory and full of important details.

Cecília: That's what I wanted to explain... - She says and Gustavo looks at her.

Gustavo: Soares. What happened?

Cecília: Well... it's kind of hard to explain.

Gustavo: Keep it simple.

Cecília: Well... it's just that I... I... - She says but stutters - My daughter did it - She says it all at once and Gustavo doesn't understand.

Gustavo: Calm down and repeat slowly...

Cecília: It was my daughter who did the presentation. - Cecília says and sees Gustavo getting excited, knowing his boss well... his job was going down the drain.

Gustavo: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SOARES! - He gets excited. - YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER?! SHE DID THE PRESENTATION?! MY GOD IF THIS FALLS INTO THE COUNCIL'S HANDS...

Cecília: Calm down, Mr. Giordano - Cecília asks, going to the bar and getting a glass of water. - I can explain everything...

Gustavo: DON'T COME TO ME WITH SOARE EXPLANATIONS! - Gustavo shouts and Cecília tenses, at that moment the door is opened abruptly and a furious Loise rushes through and stands in front of her mother in a protective position

Loise: DON'T TALK TO HER LIKE THAT! - Loise shouts at the dark-haired man and he shuts up. The girl! She was the girl!

Cecília: Loise...

Loise: Mom, I'm sorry. I know you told me to only come in when you called me but... I couldn't stand anyone yelling at you like that... - Loise says, ignoring the presence of her mother's boss there and turns to face the blonde, both of them entering their mother-daughter bubble without caring about the CEO witnessing that. In fact, Cecília didn't even care anymore, she knew she would probably be fired at the end of that weird meeting.

Cecília: Hey El... It's okay... I'm fine, okay? Now why don't we try to explain ourselves to Mr. Giordano and then we can leave? - Cecília asks and her daughter nods - Well Mr. Giordano, this is my daughter: Eloise Katherine Soares, she was the one who made your presentation, your compliments should be for her.

Gustavo: You... - Gustavo says to the girl - The girl from the cafeteria... - He says in surprise. It's... it seems like miracles 1 and 2 had happened.

Loise: Hi. - Loise speaks dryly to the man in front of her and
