At 09:09 AM in the morning,Max comes to Alexander's house and finds his uncle. Max greets the man and further proceeds to asking him about Alex. When Alex hears his boss' voice,he quickly goes to the backyard where Layla is seated and informs her of Max's presence. They both rush into the house and they find Max seated in the living room. They both greet him and when he sees Layla,he gets out of his seat and and comes face to face with her,
" Jade called and told me all that happened but I didn't know if find you here given that you've been ignoring and cutting my calls"
Layla gets a little confused when she hears that Jade called her boss to inform him,
" Wait a minute sir, how did Jade get your number?"
Max gets irritated by Layla's question and asks her to be serious at this moment because it isn't time for jokes so she stays quiet. He further tells her that he is going to take her home that instant.
" But Sir,my granny doesn't want to see me, she'll just throw me out again" Layla starts to argue.
Max promises that he'll talk to Coco on Layla's behalf. Layla thanks Alexander and his uncle for letting her to stay for the night as she leaves with Max. As they are driving home,Max stops by a pastry shop and buys a cake. When he gets back to the car, Layla questions him about the cake and whom it's for.
" It's for my future wife and in-laws" He responds with a serious face such that Layla gets scared and does not go any further with asking questions.
They get to the house and Layla is feeling a little bit nervous. Max enters the house first and greets everyone in the house but Coco isn't so happy to see him.
" If you're looking for your foolish friend then am afraid you're in the wrong house because she's not in this house anymore" Coco rebukes Max.
" I know she's not here Coco but I brought her with me" Max calls Layla into the house.
Jade, Nicole and the entire family are so happy to see Layla back home but hide their joy out of fear of Coco. Max pleads with Coco to let Layla come back to the house,he even promises that she won't cause any more trouble. After being convinced, Coco finally agrees to let Layla back into the house. Max is relieved and so is the family but all this is short lived when Coco gives her conditions on which she will accept Layla back into the house. She gives an ultimatum that, Layla has to apologize to the boy she beat up, to the principal as well and then get a job before the end of the day. Layla can't believe she has to apologize to the bully so she argues,
" I'll gladly apologize to the principal but there's no way am apologizing to such a small boy!"
" You're the same age Layla" Nicole corrects her cousin.
" And he still can't throw a fist despite being my age and being a guy..." Layla claps back and annoys Max.
" Enough Layla!" Max intervenes.
"It's either you do as Coco says or sleep in the streets and forget about wrestling! If you know what I mean"
Layla swallows her ego for the sake of her thug life and promises to do as she is required to. Before Max leaves the house,he gifts Coco a beautifully baked cake and leaves Layla wondering what he meant by future wife and in-laws. Coco takes Layla and Nicole along with to the school. They enter the principal's office and Coco asks her granddaughter to apologize. Layla apologizes to the principal for causing chaos in the school and he is pleased so he allows Nicole can resume school the following day. When they go outside the school, Coco, Nicole and Layla bump into the bully and as required Layla apologizes. The bully forgives Layla and she is quick to give him a hug. As she is hugging him, she whispers something in his ears,
" Look boy, simply because I said sorry to you doesn't mean I won't break your neck the next time you mess with my cousin" Layla let's go of the boy and smiles pretentiously.
The boy rushes into the classroom with fear. Nicole runs to Layla and hugs her tightly,
" I missed you so much my lioness" She looks at Layla's face and smiles widely.
Layla cuddles her back and gives Nicole a big bar if chocolate. Coco reminds Layla what her last duty is. Nicole and Coco go back to the house while Layla goes to look for a job. She comes to one restaurant and asks the manager if there's any job opportunity but he refuses to give her a one because she is short tempered and is quite a fighter. The rude words he says however don't sit well with Layla as she grabs him by the collar and over the counter,
" Look Mr man, your little restaurant can't even come close to my family's restaurant so mind your language or I'll turn this little place upside down got it!"
The man gets scared that he pees in his pants so Layla let's go of him. As she is walking out, another man who ahs no knowledge of what just happened starts to disrespect her,
" Wow,I thought the almighty Layla didn't need a job so what now? Is it that her family doesn't have where to go? She's so cheap!"
Layla walks towards the man and raises him to his feet,
" It seems you're new to this town my friend,I let the other insults slide but I won't let this one go" Layla slaps the man on his left and right cheeks so hard they turn red and the man instantly goes back to his senses and starts apologizing. As Layla is wondering where to go next,she gets a call from Jade asking her to go to her work place. When Layla gets there,she is told there's a waitress vacancy as the previous one just quit.
