-I'm going to call her. -No, don't do it!
-You can't stop me! -Yes, I can!
You're going to keep hurting her!
I love her, Nicolas!
It was nice to realize something I didn't want to realize, dude.
He does love you.
Why lie? He does.
Armando loves you.
I'm the only idiot here.
I never valued the woman I had by my side.
Well, I'm right here.
I don't want you at V&M.
Relax, I'm not going to your office.
I'm going to mine.
I've decided to move my headquarters here.
What's wrong, Betty?
Don't you like that I rented this office?
I'm just surprised.
And I'm sure a lot of people at V&M will be surprised too.
Does Armando's opinion matter that much to you?
Would you look at that?
It's the man who accused me of trying to kill him.
Not now, Armando.
If you have something to say, say it to my face.
No.
I have nothing to say to you,
and stop plotting against me.
I've already spoken to Roberto.
I know you told him about the company in India.
Do you want me to sue you, Armando?
You don't know anything.
You're going down.
You're going to pay for all the harm you've caused.
How does is feel to know that your accomplice wants you dead?
I'm not playing your game. You don't know anything.
And I'm warning you.
You'd better not hurt my sister or you'll regret it.
Unfortunately, I can't change Marcela's feelings,
but I won't let you destroy her.
You know that I always end up getting what I want.
Not this time.
You're not getting anything!
Thanks for this magic moment, chicken legs.
Of the three chances you had, this was the third.
I can tell your cello concert was super intense.
And #boringlikePatricia is a hit.
For your information, I wasn't asleep.
Really?
No, my eyes were closed
because I was enjoying a heavenly concert.
I was in a mystical state,
a state you'll never understand
because you'll never have the money
to get into an event like that one.
Neither do you.
You were invited.
How about that, bottle blonde?
Hello, everybody!
Hi!
What's going on?
Just here.
Sorry, has Betty asked about me?
No, everything's fine.
Are you sick, Nico?
Yes.
Patri, I've got that allergy that's going around,
a pollen allergy.
Oh, Patri.
What are you wearing?
A new perfume!
Do you like it?
#stinkyPatricia
Hi, Giovis.
What's up?
I heard you had a rough night.
Yes, that's right.
Bertha told me.
Yes, I had to use my skills to defend Mr. Mendoza.
I only hope there were no unfortunate injuries.
I'd hate to have a corpse on my list or my conscience.
If punches were flying,
I'm sure you were the first to take off running.
I'm kidding.
Allow me to say something, my dearest front desk friend.
I'm not in the mood to get into it with you today,
so if you want to believe me, great.
Otherwise, I don't owe you any explanations.
Just like I won't ask who came to pick you up yesterday.
I bought you this soup because I think it'll help
with your hangover.
For me?
Yes, with love.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you, sir.
If you'll allow me,
I can recommend the perfect wine pairing
for what you ordered.
No, Mr. Daniel.
Don't even bother. I don't drink.
If you'd like, feel free to drink alone.
No need to get defensive, Beatriz.
We're simply two friends having lunch together.
Friends?
Yes.
No.
No, Mr. Daniel.
We're never going to be friends.
As far as I know, you don't like me,
-so I'm not sure why I'm here. -No, that was before,
but everything is completely different
with this new woman who's reinvented herself.
That's admirable, Beatriz. Congratulations.
You know something?
Has anyone told you that your attractiveness is powerful
and different?
You think so?
Yes.
You're the kind of woman I'd date seriously.
I like you, Beatriz.
Stop the elevator! I'm going up.
You.
What are you doing here?
You don't understand, do you?
V&M is my company.
I haven't quit yet.
Hugo...
I have some designs here
that will change the course of universal fashion.
You wish you were like Hugo the divine.
"Women under construction."
What you've always had under construction
are your intelligence, good taste, and creativity.
I'm actually going to create beautiful designs
that won't be on a billboard, inspiring pity.
I'm actually a good designer, so please get out of here.
Shoo! Beat it!
I can't. We're in an elevator.
Then leave through the top like in the movies.
I'm warning you.
I won't let you set one foot in V&M.
You're not passing the front desk.
I'm not going to V&M.
I'm going to my office.
We work in the same building now.
How?
I'm not trying to keep your job, Hugo.
I own my own company.
My name is known all over the world.
Let's see if you can ever accomplish the same.
What's wrong?
Do I make you nervous?
No.
I'm just disgusted at how low you'll stoop for money.
What did you just say?
You heard me.
I know you invited me here and are telling me all this
because you need money.
You want your monthly shareholders' check,
and you want to sell your part of V&M.
Don't you dare disrespect me. Who do you think you are?
You're kind of bipolar, aren't you?
A second ago you were telling me I'm an attractive, unique,
and powerful woman.
I'll answer you, though.
There's no money for the shareholders.
You can't sell your part of the company either
because the company is still mine.
It's a shame our lunch was so short.
Don't worry. Order whatever you want.
I left my tab open.
Bye.
Have a good one.
Aura Maria, please let Mr. Ricardo know
that I found Rosaura and that I'll be in Marcela's office.
Okay.
Who is Mrs. Rosaura?
Don't ask questions.
Help me with what I asked.
Yes.
Would you like coffee?
Tea? Water?
Yes, thank you.
Joaquin is here.
That man wants to keep this company.
That genetically modified worm is getting revenge.
He wants to steal my job.
Marce, don't let him.
Huguito, I think you're mistaken.
No, I'm not mistaken.
She's ugly.
And I'm sorry, but ugly people can't be good.
I wonder how much that man spent on reconstructive surgeries
to make her look moderately acceptable.
Why don't you calm down, Hugo?
Beatriz didn't say anything about replacing you.
In fact, she's waiting for your designs.
So she can give them to her lover!
They're accomplices
and I won't allow my designs to get stolen again.
Neither will I. They're your designs.
Relax already!
Joaquin is only here for Beatriz.
That's it.
No, no, no.
I don't buy that.
Joaquin may be whatever you want,
but he doesn't have such bad taste.
If that's true,
then why is his company in this same building?
What?
Joaquin's offices are here?
-Didn't you know? -No.
V&M and his company are separated by a few steps.
Mr. Ricardo.
If my mom doesn't turn up in an hour, I'm suing you!
Not right now. I'm busy.
I just wanted to tell you that Ms. Maria Lucia
is in Ms. Marcela's office
-with Mrs. Rosaura. -What?
-Why didn't you say so before? -I tried and...
Who would've thought that a cello concert
could sound so much like a fight between street cats.
Don't make that face.
It was horrible, dreadful!
I almost fell asleep.
Well, I did fall asleep, but I almost snored.
Horrible.
You're awfully chipper.
What's up with you?
That face can only mean one thing.
Who is he? What's his name?
Does he have brothers? Yes?
Introduce me. Please, I beg you.
Last night was the night.
I made love like never before.
With who?
Armando.
No.
No, Marcela.
How could you? Are you serious?
There are so many men in the world,
and you settled for the same mistake.
Because I'm in love with him.
And this time I'm sure he feels the same way.
Are you getting revenge?
No way, I just told you I love him.
I want to be with him forever.
Sorry, Marce, but that's very hard to comprehend
after all the things Armando's done to you.
As if you were ugly.
Well, I guess it's trendy to be ugly now.
Of course not.
The troll was a mistake.
Armando came to his senses.
Yes, and we're finally back together... forever.
Let's go.
I'm going.
Mom, you shouldn't have run off like that.
I was very worried.
You're so handsome.
But I don't want to take any more pills.
Okay, no more pills.
Where did you find her? How'd you recognize her?
She was wandering near the hospital she's staying at.
I recognized her because I'd seen a picture of her
in your apartment.
You're pretty too.
You're a couple, aren't you?
Are you in love?
That's precisely why I haven't had time to finish it.
It's like the universe is conspiring against me.
As soon as your dress is finished, though,
you'll be playing with fire.
I love you! The dress is amazing!
I love it.
You outdid yourself, as always.
It's okay if it isn't finished.
Are you kidding me? I'm going to finish it.
You are my muse, my Gaby Espino.
That last series of yours...
-You saw it? -Did I see it?
My Lombardi girls knew that when 8:30 came around,
-I had to rush home to watch. -Wasn't I so sexy in it?
-And Jason Day. -Isn't he a stud?
I wish he were Jason Gay and that I were you!
Whenever Margarita Rosa de Francisco comes to my shop
she leaves everything smelling so good.
She's hot.
And that Perico girl won't stop talking.
Yeah, she's great.
But that scene of yours, when you tell your son
that you're going out to get him milk...
Who'd have thought you'd go looking in the pool?
Are you serious? You're intense.
I wish I'd been you in those scenes with Jason.
Of course!
He's gorgeous.
I had lots of fun on that project,
and it was so hot on location during the day,
but at night...
Where? The coffee region?
Yeah, but at night it's freezing.
-The pool was ice cold. -You looked beautiful.
Thank you.
-This red suits you. -You outdid yourself.
I'm here.
What was it you had to discuss in person?
Look, drop your suit
and then we'll talk about whatever you want.
Why do you want to take Sofia's kids from her?
Why are you determined to hurt her?
Why?
They're my kids too, Charly!
I have every right to have them.
But you don't have kids, so what would you know about that?
Actually, there's a lot you don't know.
What are you talking about?
I warned you, but you refused to listen.
Okay, are you ready?
Here goes.
Sofia came to see me, and it's not the first time.
She wants me to leave Jenny so we can get back together.
Sofia's the same loser she's always been.
Stop insulting Sofia!
Efrain, are you okay?
Betty, what a surprise.
Yes. Hi.
I have something to tell you.
I'm not the same dummy I used to be.
I've grown and become aware of a lot of things,
one of them being that you're an amazing man.
The best I've ever known.
You're honest, generous, affectionate,
and also very handsome.
Thanks, Betty.
-To what do I owe the...? -Let me finish.
I also realized I've been silly for not seeing
everything you've done and continue to do for me.
Everything you're doing to win me over
is beyond anything and anyone.
You're incredible. You're one in a million.
I don't know what to tell you. I'm speechless.
You don't have to say anything.
Just come closer.
If I do, something will happen.
I'm telling you right now that I want to be with you.
I want to take a chance on you.
You don't know how happy you're making me.
