The Entrepreneur and the Passionate

Lorena is a strong, independent woman. She works as an entrepreneur in the confectionery sector in the city of Conde - Paraíba.

The mother of a six-year-old daughter called Aurora, Lorena stands out in her work environment, doing everything to perfection and always receiving praise from her boss - Mr. Reinaldo.

She lives in her own house in the Jardim Recreio neighborhood on Rua Agripino de Lima with only her daughter. Her ex-husband - Dimitri - was a good spouse to her, but differences separated them and he now lives with another family - but has no other children.

Lorena has brown skin, medium brown wavy hair and brown eyes. Her daughter looks like her, but her hair is curly - like her father's gene.

Lorena: Daughter, let's go because Mom has to go to work.

Aurora: I'm going, Mom, I just need my sneakers.

Aurora goes to school in the morning at Ilza Ribeiro State School from 7.30am to 11.30am. In the afternoon she goes to swimming class from 1pm to 3pm. Lorena picks Aurora up from school during her work break - but only to take her daughter to swimming and picks her up at 3.30pm - when she is released again.

After that, Aurora stays at work with her mother - sometimes helping her by delivering empty boxes to her.

That morning, Lorena and Aurora walked ten minutes to the school and, after dropping her off at the school gate, she said to her daughter:

Lorena: good class my child. Take care and respect your teacher.

Aurora: OK, Mom. I love you - she hugs her - will you pick me up so I can go swimming?

Lorena: Yes, but if I can't get there in time, I'll ask Luana's mother to take you with your little friend.

Aurora: Okay, Mom.

Lorena leaves her daughter - as the child enters the classroom - and walks back to her job at Confeitaria Conde das Flores.

Lorena is wearing her work uniform and walks calmly - since her job is seven minutes away from the school where her little one goes to school.

On the other side of the neighborhood in Cicerolandia lives Victor, a light-skinned young man with a medium build and straight hair. He works in the same bakery as Lorena, but in a higher-level area - he is in charge of making the more sophisticated cakes and pastries and Lorena is in charge of making the smaller pastries and packaging them for orders.

The place is large, with three floors and each function is on a different floor. Lorena works with Victor, but he gets paid more - R$800 a month - for his more complex role. However, he always tries to single out Lorena to show her his hidden feelings for her - who doesn't even suspect his intentions.

They exchange a few words throughout the working day, but there is no friendship between them - at least not yet.

Victor was already at the company when he spotted Lorena. He picks up a cup of coffee and hands it to her:

Victor: Good morning Lorena.
