CEO's proposal

said the father, with a mischievous smile. - I hope she doesn't leave him like Adriana did. - It's not possible that they are

his mother, standing up in an attitude that Pedro considered exaggerated. - Have you set the date yet? I need to organize myself, there are so many things...My God, what happiness! - Calm down, mother, calm down! - Paulo laughed, seeming to have fun with all the excitement. - You're going to have a fit and end up leaving your father alone in the church.
