In the morning, Martha and Wendy wake up,
" Oh I feel drowsy" Martha complains, " but when did I came to my mom to sleep?" She is confused so she rushes to her mom's room. Wendy is also just waking up and can't recall what happened at the party. She wonders whether the hired men did their task but to be sure calls their leader who picks up and cuts off the deal with Wendy,
"My men were attacked and shot so consider the deal off!" He cuts the call.
Wendy and Martha are wondering who could have scared the men away.
" I'll tell you" A voice interrupts, " I did it because I knew they were cowards also because I knew that you hired them to kill Mr Liam" David let's the ladies know what he knows.
Wendy and Martha feel a little bit nervous when they hear this by they control their emotions.
" One thing surprises me though" David continues, " why would you both want to harm someone who is taking care of you? Your family, your blood! "
Wendy at this point loses her fear and faces David letting him face one of her bad sides, one which he has never seen before,
" Listen here boy, you are a stranger who doesn't know anything about this family so step away. Am ready to kill anyone who comes in my way even Liam''
Martha also warns David to stay away but he likes to have the last word, " unfortunately for ladies David is here to Liam and any of his family members who are in danger. If you think you can beat me then I dare you both to bring your A-game" He leaves the room.
Nicole tells Alex the truth about Layla's job and her male disguise, what led to it and whose advice it was,
" It wasn't her fault Alex. I convinced her to do it since granny was Always scolding Layla about not getting a proper job"
At this point and time,the identity of the man who kept stopping them from attacking Liam becomes clear to Alex,
" So Layla turned against us? She chose an outsider over us! She fought me and the other guys for a total stranger! Max must hear this!" Alex walks out on Nicole.
Nicole is now afraid of the consequences and what might happen if Max learns the truth so she informs Layla over the phone who gets very upset with Nicole for telling the truth, " What is wrong with you Nicole? I would have handled everything! Now he's going to tell Max and he'll tell the entire family and who knows what happens next? It seems you've forgotten that you're still younger than me so stop making things worse! I'm in this mess because I listened to some high schooler for advice!" Layla cuts the call in fury.
Nicole is now feeling bad that she messed things up for her cousin. When Layla turns to go back into the office premises,she sees someone's shadow and their clothing behind the wall. When she goes to check it out,the person is no longer there. David enters the office and finds Charlotte and Liam talking and laughing. However,she recognizes Charlotte's dress, " the person who was eves dropping on me was wearing a purple long flared dress. Is she setting me up? I know how to find out "
David calls Charlotte to the side so they can talk about something. Charlotte does not refuse,she goes with David outside to talk. David asks Charlotte if she was the one eves dropping on him. Charlotte seems confused, " What do you mean,I've been in Liam's office from the time you went to pick the call"
David tilts his head slightly to the right and asks Charlotte again but she tells him she wasn't the one. For the third time,he leans closer to her and asks the same question but Charlotte tells David she wasn't the one. At this point he believes her and tells her it's fine she can leave.
Charlotte is about to leave but she turns back to David to ask, " But why are you asking? Is there something you don't want anyone to find out?"
" No! Am just having some family issues and I don't want people to know about them" David saved himself.
Charlotte nodes her head and calmly walks away with some thoughts, " poor David,he doesn't have any idea that I know the truth about who he really is. He tried to use psychology tricks on me but little did he know that I am a psychologist myself"
Alexander goes to the underground and enters Max's office to tell him Layla's truth and secret.
" Hey Alex, you wanted to see me?" Max looks at Alex who seems to be having mixed thoughts from the expressions on his face.
Some wise thoughts start running through Alexander's mind, " I have to tell Max about Layla's secret job. But if I do...then he'll punish her,scold her and throw her out of the team. No, Layla's is my best friend so I can't snitch on her. Am mad at Layla for not telling me so I'll confront her"
Alexander changes his reason for coming to Max's office. He tells Max he only came to thank him for being like a big brother to him and he appreciates it. Max is overwhelmed by this. He gets out of his chair and gives Alex one big hug,
" I will do anything for you kid. Even though I won't tolerate any misconduct" He smiles.
Alex leaves the office and goes to the Grayson's mansion to confront Layla. When he sees Martha,he remembers her as Jade's former boss,
" That's Jade's former boss. She accused Layla of stealing the expensive watch. If she sees me here, she'll be suspicious " Alexander hides from Martha.
When Layla steps out of the house,some one drags her to the backyard.
" Alex! What are you doing here and why did you drag me like that?" Layla gets furious.
Alex talks to Layla why she sided with the strangers instead of helping her friends.
" I need this job Alexander" Layla explains, " I have to keep for the sake of my grandma and my family. I would have helped but these people trust me! I know am not loyal but they've been good to me. The best I could is pay them back. Because of them and their kindness I bought my family a house and a car. All my life I've been exposed to harsh life but they've shown me otherwise,not all rich people are bad Alex. Now tell me, can you betray such people?" She leaves Alex with a question.
Alex feels for Layla and he just goes home. Charlotte overheard the whole conversation and she is touched. She follows David and faces him by telling his truth.
" Who are you David?" She uses her authoritative voice.
David is surprised that Charlotte is asking and using a dominant voice. However, knowing fully well how psychology works,he doesn't fall for it. At this point, Charlotte goes direct to the point,
" David I know you are not a man but a girl by the name of Layla"
David is shocked to hear his secret.
