Armando quietly swears that Betty will never leave.īETTY LA FEA EN COLOMBIA( 8 DE MAYO-2001) That they want the best for Betty but that they dont want her to leave. Patty looks on with interest as each of the cuartel pipes up and says how much they love Betty and that they cant imagine not having her around. With renewed determination, he tells the cuartel that he will bring Betty back and that under no circumstances will he allow her to go to Cartagena. He exits his office clutching the black trash bag containing the cards. He will bring Betty back to this company. Relieved and hopeful, Armando promises that he wont disappoint her. She tells him that she has a feeling that Armandos angst has more to it than just his concern for the firm and that is why shes telling him where to find Betty so he can talk to her. Inesita explains that the cuartel thinks that Michel is the best option for Betty, but that they dont want her to go. She advises him to keep his wits about him because hes at a disadvantage - that just one little mistake will ruin his chances. Inesita tells him that shes at her house. In his office, Armando separates his love letters from the ones Mario wrote. Inesita leaves and goes into Armandos office without the cuartel seeing her. The cuartel continues to insist that they cant fail Betty. Inesita tells them that hes not crazy, hes just upset that Betty is leaving. Chin to chin, he warns her that unless she and her friends tell him where Betty is, hell have to go to Bettys house and sit there until she comes home. Out in the hall, the an anguished cuartel thinks that Armando considers them cruel and heartless. She says that since he thinks hes lost Beatriz to the Frenchman, by backing him for the presidency, hed realize that she, Marcela, is the only one that still loves him and supports him. Exasperated, Marcela replies that Armando would be the most likely option. After all, she did six semesters of finance at the San Marino. Patty immediately says Marcela is the logical candidate and that she, Patty, would be her vice-president. Ooh la la says Hermes.īack at Eco Moda, Patty wonders who will replace Betty as President if she leaves Eco Moda. Michel invites Hermes and Julia to visit Cartagena, offering to cover all the costs. Singing La Marseillaise, he escorts Michel over to Bettys diplomas. Hermes agrees, saying shes very responsible and that its cost him and eye and a leg (eye of the face, literal) to educate her. Michel assures him that Betty is a very serious woman, committed to her work.

Hermes is convinced that its a party town, and that Betty lived it up while she was there. Out in the living room, Hermes and Michel chat about Cartagena. Betty says theyll have to see how he gets along with Michel. Julia says that it will be difficult to convince Hermes. I just didnt expect it to happen so soon. Betty again tells her shes not going to marry Michel and that he has promised them an apartment in Cartagena because he knows she wouldnt leave Bogota without them. ∺nd you deserve it, honey, its like going from hell to heaven says Julia. But Julia says that if Betty has already accepted moving to Cartagena, its only logical that she has also accepted him - and its to be expected since hes so handsome and such a gentleman. Embarrassed, Betty says its not like shes going to marry him or anything. With mixed emotions Julia asks if that means theyve lost Betty forever. Betty responds that Catalina thinks he is.

Inesita says that Armando knows they are lying and he, with reason, considers the cuartel his worst enemy.Īt home, Julia comes in to Bettys room saying that Michel is a doll. Berta is upset that Armando thinks they are happy to see Betty go. I suppose that Betty is out on the town with the Frenchman and that those tears I saw were because you are so happy to see the him whisk her off to Cartagena! He stalks off. Aura Maria manages not to blab, despite his threats. Aura Maria thinks fast and says that Betty left her the task of looking for a notebook, but that she can't reach Betty because her cell phone is off. Aura Maria jumps a mile when she hears Armando call her, demanding to know why shes not at her desk. And much less that shes with the Frenchman. Aura Maria tells Bertha and Sofia that she contacted Betty at home, but that Betty said that under no circumstances should she let Armando know her whereabouts.
