It was pointless talking to someone like my mother-in-law , so I smiled at her as she rambled on . Eventually , she got bored talking to herself , so she stopped . “ I’m going to take a look at Joana “ .
“ Of course . “ I wanted nothing more than for her to leave . _
When she was at the door , she looked at me . “ Tell Carlos that you will be discharged as soon as possible . _ fifteen thousand per
day is too wasteful .
“ Of course . ”
My mother-in – law then left , much to my relief . When I was about to call Isabel , I heard my mother-in-law ask loudly at the door : “ You ‘re Henriques Ribeiro , are n’t you ? ”
“ I am , and you are ? Henry asked . _ I could imagine he must be scowling at her by now .
“ Why did you take my son ‘s client ? _ Do you have any grudge against him ?! she screamed , sounding like a whore . _
“ Who is your son ? ” Henriques replied calmly .
“ Oh , I forgot to do the introductions . Charles is my son . He is the president of Axcom . She emphasized on ‘ president ‘ , as what she meant was that Henriques should meet Carlos , as they were both presidents . _
“ Oh , so you are Mr. _ _ _ Morais ” , Henriques spoke slowly . “ Good morning , Mrs. _ Morals . ”
My mother-in-law , being the socially inept and rude woman that she was , snapped , “ I’m not having a good day , brat ! Mr. Ribeiro , why did you take my son ‘s client ?
Henriques said nothing , obviously shocked by her ridiculous behavior . _ _ Someone like him has probably never had contact with lay people like Mrs. Morals .
My mother – in – law thought his silence meant he felt guilty . “ Integrity is important to business . _ My son was supposed to deal with the customer , so you should have stayed out ! You are rich and have many companies !Why would you compete with my son ?! ”
Mrs. _ Morais bombarded him with questions without fear or embarrassment . _ Suddenly , someone said : “ Mr. _ Ribeiro , do you need us to chase that old hag away ? ”
“ What did you call me ? Rude ! I ‘m not old at all ! What ? _ Do you think I ‘m old ?! ”
