Esteban comes into the bedroom pissed. Cris asks him what's bothering him. Don't you think it's a little late for Manuel to be here? Yes, but they are working on a plan for his new business. Frankly I'm happy that my godson is finally willing to work. She wants he to forget it and concentrate on themselves. Esteban tells her no. Cris becomes visibly upset. He apologizes for being so rough but he's not in the mood to do the horizontal mambo. He's worried about her daughter and their money problems. We both are points out Cris. But the way you denied me....I'm just worried about Acacia and it doesn't seem to bother you. You have to do something for her. I am says Cris. I just do it differently. I like to argue or fight. You know you are the most important thing to me. Well it doesn't seem that way replies Cris. The way you denied me hurt. He says she can't expect that their passion would be the same after all these years.
Luisa and Rosa come home and Luisa storms into her room. Luisa is upset with all the questions she asked. I may not know anything about businesses but I do about life. What if something goes bad and you end up having to pay back a fortune? I'm not an idiot but you think I am replies Luisa. I don't think Arturo, being a good guy and all, would do something like that to me. It's better to prevent it says Rosa. They will discuss this further tomorrow as it is late. Luisa not asleep, more like tipsy, and wants to go outside for awhile.

Did you know? Norberto says Danilo told him. How can she make a commitment to your friend? He's much older than her. Norberto says it's there business. Juliana knew Ale was not for their son. As you as you turned your back on our son, she ran off to find other one with money. And you thought she had an inheritance laughs Norberto. She came from a very poor town. I will talk to Cris about this tomorrow. How can Danilo, a fine distinguished man, pay her any mind. Danilo believes you need to get a young woman to have fun with. The old ones just want to go to bed to sleep. She tries to talk to him, perhaps come on, but she shoos her away.
Luisa is on the phone with Arturo and agree to meet up. Manuel comes up and asks her why she's crying? Did he do something to you? If so, I will break his face. Luisa laughs and thanks him for worrying about her. But it wasn't Arturo. It was my grandmother. I had a fight with her. Manuel tells her that she looked beautiful today. I have never seen you look so good before. I don't like to see you with him. Well we are know getting into business together and you have lost me. Not true replies Manuel. You still care for me and kisses her.
German tells Arturo too bad you all couldn't even eat. Rosa smolders her granddaughter to much replies Arturo. So she thinks you want something more with her granddaughter asks German. Yes, but she is still pining after your brother. My brother is an idiot if he doesn't want a girl like her. But if your serious, things can go well. You have many things in common, right? Of course replies Arturo. But I have to first convince her and asks for German's help.
