CC: TELEMUNDO NETWORK
I'd like to thank everyone whose talent and creativity
made this night a success,
especially a woman who has been essential,
the love of my ilfe, Marcela Valencia.
Tell me the truth, Betty.
Did you fall for Mr. Armando?
I respect him very much,
and I can't believe you're saying this.
I'm the biggest idiot that ever lived.
Is that Nicolas, the guy running
all of BAR's finances and investments,
just her friend or something more?
Are you and that Nicolas really just friends?
He's been my best friend since high school.
Is it true you're madly in love with Mr. Armando?
Yes, I'm in love.
But not with Mr. Armando.
With Nicolas.
We recently became boyfriend and girlfriend.
I trust Betty to return the company to me.
I don't, especially now that her boyfriend
is in charge of finances.
I told you, they're just friends!
Congratulations, Ms. Rincon.
You are the new owner of V&M.
Betty, these flowers just arrived for you
from your boyfriend, Nicolas.
Nicolas is with Beatriz for her money, for your money.
You can't prove that.
I will.
Betty's boyfriend's name is Nicolas.
He's pretty rich.
Is that so?
Beatriz has many responsibilities.
Plus, she's got a social life.
She's got a boyfriend, don't you?
Answer us. Is he your boyfriend or not?
Betty told my mother that she didn't have a boyfriend.
Ask Betty to show you a report on BAR's finances.
To make sure everything is hunky-dory.
I need a complete report on BAR.
So your boss is questioning my integrity.
No, but he has the right to look out for his interests.
Just what I needed.
They're about to meet the real Nicolas Ramos.
-Betty. -Hm?
Is everything alright?
Yes, why?
Because it doesn't seem like my asking for a report on BAR
is inconveniencing you.
No, not at all.
This is my job and you're the boss.
It's your money, and you have every right to ask.
Don't worry, as soon as Nicolas sends it, I'll bring it to you.
Now if you don't mind, I have a lot to do.
Excuse me.
Can you believe that harpy Jenny?
Rubbing Sofia's divorce in her face!
I'm glad they put her in her place.
Yes.
Hi, girls.
Hi.
What's up? Who are we talking about?
Jenny.
My boss gave her quite the scolding
for messing with Sofia.
For real?
Ms. Marcela defended Sofia?
Know what?
We've got to keep an eye on her.
Sofia probably had an awful night.
Poor thing.
Sofia.
Hi there!
How's it going, squad?
Hi, Sofi.
How are you this morning?
Me? Fine.
How about you?
I, for one, am famished.
I'm in the mood for donuts and hot chocolate.
Anyone else want?
Anyone? No one?
No, thank you.
Your loss.
Our loss?
She seems fine to me. Not at all like you said.
Poor thing is in denial.
I think the pain transformed her.
Something's not right.
There's something fishy going on.
No, Patricia Fernandez, I won't lend you another dollar!
No!
Please.
Marce, I now owe five months of association fees.
What?
I loaned you money when you only owed four months.
Yeah, but the money got spent when I thought I was pregnant.
I spent a lot, Marcela!
On vitamins, minerals, folic acid, diapers...
You have no idea the fortune I spent on diapers.
You don't know this,
but kids cost you money before they're even born.
Know what I think?
That you should find a realistic solution
to your situation.
You earn a good living here, but you insist
on living someplace very costly.
Hold on.
First, you send me to shop at Mogollon's Market,
and now you want me to move to the slums?
What's wrong with you? I'm your best friend!
Exactly!
I want you to get your head out of the clouds.
Forget about finding a millionaire to fix your life.
That'll never happen.
It will, Marcela!
Look at me.
All of this has to lead to a family of noble ancestry.
Hi.
Ms. Patricia Fernandez,
it's Wilson, commander-in-chief and head of security
of this grand building.
Why are you calling me, Waldo?
Who gave you my phone number? You're a stalker.
I got your number from Human Resources,
and I'm calling because your car's being towed.
You parked in a no parking zone and facing the wrong direction.
What?
Oh no. No, no.
Wilson, darling, I'm on my way.
Please don't let them take it.
It's your job to take care of it.
I'll explain.
I had to park there because of an emergency.
My mother found my sister with her boyfriend
and almost killed them.
Okay, no.
We're cool, right? We're fellow countrymen.
How much do I have to bribe you to not tow my car?
Guess what, blondie.
You'll have to go to the impound lot,
pay the fine...
and then you'll get your car.
To the lot? Are you crazy?
This is a very expensive car. They're going to ruin it.
I'm talking to you!
I'll have your job for this!
You don't know who I am,
but I'm friends with the mayor's neighbor's cousin!
Wilson, do something. That's why you're here.
Don't take it.
Don't take it?
-He didn't listen to me. -My car!
So?
What?
I told you nothing happened.
I don't believe you.
You saw Efrain last night and things happened.
Yes or no?
You really are too much.
It's a little early for you to start with your nonsense.
Why do you look the same as you did
when you'd go on vacation together?
You showed up today smiling from ear to ear,
you've got red lipstick on,
and you're dressed like you're ready to get plowed by a bull.
Oh my!
You don't need to be a detective to figure out
that something happened last night.
Did you bump uglies?
Make the beast with two backs?
No way.
You're something else.
What?
I'll tell you the truth.
What's up?
I put these clothes on so that that snake
will stop making fun of me.
I got dressed up so that Efrain and that idiot
don't notice my sadness
because while I am very sad, it's deep, deep down,
and nobody has the right to mock me.
What's more, with everything going on with me,
which you know better than anyone,
do you think I'd be in the mood
to do the horizontal mambo with anyone?
To take a trip to Poundtown?
No, way. Not at all.
Enough!
Okay, fine.
Yes, a woman gave me this hickey, so what?
I knew you were shameless.
So, do I know the guy?
No, you don't know her. She's not from here.
I'd like to meet her. We can all double date.
Maybe she and Jenny can be friends.
No, that's not going to happen.
She's very shy and doesn't like big groups.
She's not even on Facebook and she only comes to New York
to see me.
You paid her?
How dare you?
She's a very respectable woman, okay?
Fine, don't get offended. You were with a saint.
Saint Dracula.
Look at what she did to you.
Did it hurt?
Okay, but seriously, I need a huge favor.
For real.
Help me out with Sofia.
Nope. Not Sofia. No way.
But I haven't even asked for the favor yet.
The answer is no to whatever you ask.
I don't want to be involved in your marital problems.
Please understand.
I can't go near her.
I just want to make sure she signs the divorce papers.
She said she would this morning, but she was acting very weird.
Plus, she values you.
She thinks you're smart and all that.
She said that?
That and more. She's got you on a pedestal.
Did you know she once told me she thought you were gay?
But by the looks of it, you're into the ladies.
Glad she doesn't think that anymore.
Huh?
Uh, yeah, I'll help you.
What do you want me to tell Sofia?
That we sort all this out and get divorced
without fighting about it.
Okay, I'll help you.
So long as you don't take advantage of Sofia or the kids
because then you'll have me as an enemy.
Yeah, yeah, that's not going to happen.
Call her and tell her to come to the office
when she gets out of work.
I'll help you up, Ms. Patricia.
Come here so I can pick you up.
Take your hands off me, you incompetent loser!
You let them take my car!
Okay, okay.
No, Wilson, don't leave me here.
My car. My baby.
How much is this fine?
I don't have the money to pay it.
What the hell do you want now?
Aren't you tired of ruining my life?
Now you're going to mess with me
every hour every morning?
Uh, Sofia, it's me, Charly.
Charly?
This isn't your cell phone.
Yes, it's Efrain's.
Sofia, we need to talk.
About what?
About what happened last night or what happened even later?
Efrain's right in front of me.
He asked me to call you to offer you my unconditional support
and I'd like for you to come this afternoon.
Can you?
Yes, I'll head there when I get out of work.
Okay. See you then.
She's going to come.
Yes?
Nothing, you just seemed very chipper.
Inesita.
He's not here. Come.
Hugo took the day off to go to Martha's Vineyard with Fabio.
Thank you so much for the suit.
I'll pay for the dry cleaning.
Don't worry about it.
How did it go with the Mendozas?
Fine.
At least I didn't spoil it.
They're very kind and very decent.
Yes, I've known them many years and hold them in high regard.
They've always been very sweet to us.
So what did you talk about?
Nothing.
What did you talk about?
Everything, especially Armando and Marcela's engagement.
Apparently, Mrs. Margarita wants them to marry
as soon as possible so she can have grandchildren.
Ms. Marcela's in-laws sure do seem to love her, right?
Of course, and why wouldn't they?
They saw her grow up.
Marcela was the hardest hit of all the Valencias
when their parents died.
She really suffered.
And Margarita is very close to her.
I can tell.
Do you think Mr. Armando and Ms. Marcela
are really in love?
I don't know, but yesterday I got the impression
that it was one of those arranged marriages.
I don't know.
No, I doubt the Mendozas are forcing Armando
to marry Marcela.
In spite of how shameless he can be,
I believe that he truly loves Marcela,
and she's always been crazy about him.
So no.
They're going to get married for love,
and with all the pomp and circumstance they can muster.
Look at this.
Huguito's knocking it out of the park with this.
Isn't it a gorgeous dress?
Yes.
Marcela will look like a princess in it.
We have to do something different
for the next collection.
What are you thinking?
Mr. Armando Mendoza!
Hello. Nice to meet you.
I heard you wanted to talk to me, so here I am.
Who are you?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Nicolas Ramos, VP of Finance for BAR Fashion.
