Rachel could see that Sasha made Bayley happy. "Listen, you two, I will ensure you will only have to deal with me. I know Sasha of your past and what you're still dealing with. I'll ensure you have protection, and I know you have the best protection to protect you at home." Rachel tells Sasha. Sasha knew Rachel was right about the protection at home. Bayley has made it a safe place for both of them to live. "What will you do for your company if we decide to work for you?" Sasha asked.

"I know you two want answers, but I feel we need to do this at another location. I want this between us and only us for now. I have new divisions I want to start, and I want you two to run it." Rachel said. "Well, let's set up a date, and we can talk about it. We need to go inside and get this over." Bayley said. "Bayley, I'm truly sorry for how your dad is acting. I never thought he would be pulling this shit with you. I one hundred percent support your and Sasha's relationship. I know it's been hard for you, but I'm so proud of you." Rachel told Bayley.

Sasha could tell Bayley's mom loved and supported Bayley. Sasha just wasn't sure if they should stay for dinner. Sasha was worried about Bayley and could tell she wasn't happy. "Babe, we don't need to stay. Let's leave, and we can grab something on our way home." Sasha said to Bayley. "How much do I want to leave? We need to stay and not let them know they got to us. We must do that and stay united. I don't want either of our fathers to think they won." Bayley said, kissing Sasha on the forehead.

"I don't want you to feel like you have to stay here. I don't care what either of them thinks. You are all that matters to me." Sasha said, kissing Bayley on the lips. Bayley just pulled Sasha into a hug. Bayley knew Sasha was right, and they should leave. Bayley couldn't do that to her mom or Sasha's mom. "Let's go eat, and then we will leave after we help your mom clean up," Bayley said. Sasha knew Bayley was upset and hoped dinner would go ok.

"So, Bayley, tell us a little more about yourself. You are an excellent worker, and we are lucky to have you." Eddie said. "I'm a personal trainer in my spare time, and I do other things to keep me busy," Bayley said. "Well, you had to have special training to save Sasha twice now?" Eddie asked. "I have special training from the FBI, and they still employ me. I am working on Sasha's ex-husband's case. I want to ensure he is placed behind bars for what he did to Sasha." Bayley said. "Isn't your personal feelings for my daughter going to get the way of that job? Can you put your feelings aside to find him?" Eddie asked. Rachel knew Bayley didn't like to talk about her work with the FBI.

"Eddie, can't you be thankful that Bayley saved your daughter and a co-worker from being killed." Rachel said. "I'm very thankful, but as Randy said, feelings sometimes get in the way of the job. How do we know Bayley can keep personal feelings out of the case and make the arrest? Someone might think she would plant evidence to make the case stick." Eddie pointed out. Rachel, Summer, and Sasha saw the hurt in Bayley's eyes. Sasha and Rachel knew Bayley took a lot of pride in her job and only left because of her dad pressuring her. "How dare you insult Bayley like that, Eddie. Bayley saved our daughter's life twice, and you should be thankful for that. Plus, it saved the company millions of dollars that Seth had stolen. How can you sit there and question her motives?" Summer asked with anger in her voice.

"Ms. Banks, thank you for dinner, but I'm not going to sit here and be insulted. I take a lot of pride in my work, and to be questioned like this doesn't seem right. I graduated at the top of my class, and their no one better to find Sasha ex than me. I will bring him to justice." Bayley said. Sasha was mad at her father for these questions, especially after all Bayley had done for the company. "What is your point of all these questions? I'm sure you already know the answers from Mr. Martinez. Since you two set up this dinner." Sasha said.

Rachel was impressed with Sasha and how she handled all this. "Yes, Sasha brings up a good point. What are you two up to? Both of you must face that they are a couple, and I believe it would have happened either way. Eddie, you should be happy that Bayley has saved your daughter and company. But both of your sit here trying to break them up or cause issues between them." Rachel and Summer both pointed out. "Both of you should be happy that they found each other." Summer said. Neither man said anything, and Rachel could tell Bayley was getting mad.

"You two are excused, and have a good night. I will call you first thing tomorrow, love. Sasha, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I would like to have lunch with you." Rachel said. Randy and Eddie were shocked that Rachel had excused the girls from leaving. "Excuse me, my daughter will finish dinner and help clean up. She knows better than to get up and leave." Eddie said. "Sasha is an adult and doesn't need your permission, and I agree with Rachel. Bayley, I would love to get to know you better. I can see how happy you and Sasha are with each other. I would love to have lunch with you and get to know you better. But tonight isn't the night because of these two. So like Rachel said, your excuse and enjoy your evening." Summer said.

Sasha knew that was her Cue to leave. Bayley also picked up on that and hugged Summer and her mom goodbye. Sasha did the same thing and led Bayley out the front door. "Why did you let them go?" Randy and Eddie asked together. " Both Summer and Rachel gave both men dirty looks. "We don't know your problem with those two being together. Randy, you continue to knock down Bayley on every move she makes. I don't understand why you are harder on Bayley than her brothers." Rachel said.

"Eddie, you pushed Sasha into marrying Seth, and look what happened. Seth stole from you and tried to kill your daughter. Sasha is happy, and you want to take that away from her. I watched how Bayley treats Sasha, and it's with love. Seth was worried about kissing your ass so much that he never paid attention to Sasha as Bayley does. You will not separate them at work either." Summer told Eddie. Eddie and Randy knew they hadn't been fair to their girls. They both knew that they had screwed up with both girls.

Sasha didn't like the silence in the car and could tell Bayley was hurt. "Are we going to talk about what happened just now?" Sasha asked. "I'm sorry, my dad pissed me off. I can never win with him. Whatever I do isn't good enough for him. How can he question you as he did?" Bayley asked. "Bayley, you know I loved you when I saw you; I felt that connection when you pulled me out of the water," Sasha said. "I know. I felt the same connection as well." Bayley said. Sasha noticed Bayley became distracted with something. "Are you ok?" Sasha asked. "I believe we are being followed again. I thought I noticed a car following us when we left your parent's house." Bayley told Sasha.
