Mauricio yelled at Juana to come down or else he’s
coming up there to get her. She yelled back that she’ll come down in a
while after taking a few more pictures. Mauricio is also angry with Popeye
because he didn’t prevent her from endangering herself. When she came
down he was so angry at her for endangering his baby that he really let go
of his anger on her. He told her she is irresponsible because she wasn’t
thinking about her pregnancy while she enjoys herself up there. She should
be more rational and think about the consequences before acting on it.
What was she thinking to go up the ladder and put her baby at risk if she
falls? He can’t believe she just did what she did. He has never been so
angry in his life. She told him she knows he cares about her but he
shouldn’t say things that hurt her feelings. He calms down a little and
told her she should be careful with her pregnancy and think not only about
herself but also about her baby. She asked him if he cares about her baby
because he has feelings for her. He didn’t say anything and she
concluded that that must be it, because there is no reason why he should
care about her baby unless he’s in love with her. She told him about her
feelings for him and he looked guilty because he cares only about his baby
and not her. He’s afraid of losing his baby which is his last chance to
have a kid of his own flesh and blood. He brought her in his car to the
fire department because he doesn’t want her to ride with the truck to
the fire department to get her Pitusa. Before they went on their separate
ways, Mauricio silently asked Juana to take good care of his child. While
Juana is overjoyed that Mauricio cares for her. Popeye told her to take it
easy with the bike on their way back. When they arrived at the office, she
asked him not to tell anyone about what happened between her and Mauricio
because she doesn’t want a scandal. He told her ok but he’s not happy
with it. He went to see Enriqueta to report about what happened and told
her how Juana went up the ladder and took some great pictures. She told
him Juana should be more careful because she’s pregnant. He told her
that is exactly what Mauricio told Juana. Enriqueta was surprised to hear
that Mauricio was at the scene and his reaction to what Juana did was
intriguing and something to think about.
Brandy wasn’t very happy with how things are going between her and
David. On top of that, this office boy is after her and she’s not
interested in him and no matter how she explained it to him, he kept on
making his lame moves towards her. He wouldn’t take no for an answer and
kept following her around like a puppy. David saw it when they came into
the lounge and after Brandy left, he gives some tips to the guy on how to
make Brandy fall for him. Brandy was waiting for Enriqueta to give her
tomorrow’s schedule and when she got it, she was dismayed and angry to
find that Juana will be going out station together with David. David asked
Enriqueta to put Juana on the assignment with him so he could woo her.
Brandy went to see Juana and tried to convince her to give an excuse and
refuse to do the assignment with David. Juana told her she couldn’t do
that because she’s a responsible person and Brandy should remember that
Juana is on a probation period and she‘ll have to do whatever Enriqueta
told her to do without question. Then she told Brandy about how worried
Mauricio was for the wellbeing of her child which might indicate that he
really cares for her. She looked all dreamy when she talked about
Mauricio.
Ana Maria was in the ladies changing room at the gym sitting on the bench
and thinking whether she should go and confront Mauricio on what happened
between him and her daughter. Carlos opened the door and she was surprised
when he comes in. she told him he shouldn’t be in the girl’s changing
room but he told her he has already counted and all the women are gone
except for her. He came to sit beside her and asked her what she’s
doing. She told him she’s thinking about whether to see a man or not. He
asked her if he should be jealous. She told him the man is interested in
her daughter and not her. He was combing her hair with his fingers while
talking and she put her head on his shoulder and suddenly a few women came
in and on a spur of a moment, Carlos comes up with a lie that she was
suffering from kalium deficiency and feeling a bit faint and he was
helping her. She made the necessary noises and they left as quickly as
possible. They went to his apartment and Carlos asked her questions until
she agree that there is no reason to make matters worse by visiting
Mauricio. Later, he asked her if she wants to go for a ride on his bike
and she agrees. But first, he told her he has to get a cheque from a
hotel.
Petra was not going home without getting what she came for. She told him
all kinds of excuses to get him to fix the iron for her. She thought to
herself ‘why did he have to be so handsome?’ I hope he wouldn’t find
out that the iron belongs to the neighbour. He thought to himself that he
just can’t discard her just like that if he were to have a good business
relation with all his customers. ‘I wish it was Enriqueta who was
sitting there instead of Petra. Then I would drag her to sit very close to
me.’ The phone ring and it was for Mano. Enriqueta was on the line and
she told him she was sorry she ended their conversation so abruptly
because she’s in the middle of something. He told her right now he’s
in the middle of something and hung up. Enriqueta looked at the receiver
and wondered if he’s angry with her.
Salvador came for a visit and spilled his heart out to Azucena. She said
she knew just from looking into his eyes that he’s in love and the girl
is her daughter Ana Maria. He told her that what he felt for Ana is
something pure and sincere, but it seems that Ana does not returned his
feelings. He also asked Azucena’s forgiveness for being so open with his
feelings. She told him it was her who started the conversation about amor.
He said that the first time he saw Ana, he was hooked. He couldn’t help
himself. She looked so helpless when the school decided to kick Juana out
and she come to ask for his help. At that moment, he felt something
stirring inside him for the first time in his life. He wanted to protect
her and keep her safe. He also said that although she looked so strong on
the outside, she’s weak and needed protection and someone to take care
of her. Azucena told him that he is the first man that she liked and
wanted for her daughter. He is so nice, polite and very gentlemanly.
Mauricio continued to his destination which is to see the representatives
from Miami at the hotel. When he arrived, he kept thinking about what
could have happened if Juana slipped on the ladder. He would never see his
child. He would loose any hope of getting a child of his own. What was she
thinking to act in such an irresponsible manner? In the meeting room, they
discussed and come to an agreement. They will be meeting the shareholders
very soon. The reps also praise the beauty of the women in Venezuela.
Humberto come for a visit to Mauricio’s house to see his sister and
asked her how she’s doing. They talked about their mother and he told
her she should just leave him. She told her bro that Amparito is still
hoping for the day when Rogelio will come back to her. She told her bro
about Mauricio asking her to help where Juana is concerned. She told him,
to keep Mauricio by her side she’ll have to do it. She’s going to
fight for her love. Desiree came to take the rest of her things from the
guest room. Humberto told his sister that yesterday when he stayed the
night in that room, he didn’t see any female articles in there. ‘The
cheek of that woman to come to their house while she’s having an affair
with their father’. Carlota told him to leave her alone because she’s
important as she’s a shareholder and her vote is needed by Mauricio if
he is to continue his magazine. In Mauricio’s bedroom, Desiree went
through the drawers and took out some of his robes and sprayed his perfume
on it. (that’s really sick, like an unknown stalker going through your
things without you knowing it.- Sofia) Desiree told herself that she
needed this if she’s going to be able to stand Rogelio’s amorous
attentions on her.
Carlos and Ana entered the hotel and she was very impressed with the
decor. Carlos told her they can come back later and spend the night at the
hotel if she wants. She told him ‘you’re making me blush’. Carlos
asked her if she wants to come with him, she told him she’ll wait in the
reception area and while she was waiting, she saw Mauricio coming out of
the lift with his business buddies. She said to herself ‘this couldn’t
be, I didn’t go looking for him but fate intervened and bring him to
me.’ She yelled: Yo! Mr. Mauricio De La Vega! and he looked up.
