Back at the hotel, Leyla, Deren, JJ and Guliz were all trying to call Sanem and Can.
"Maybe we're not getting through because we're calling at the same time? The lines are crossing."
"Shut up JJ!" Deren huffs. "What on earth was he thinking?! And what are they doing?! Why aren't they answering?" She tries again and when there is no answer she turns to Leyla. "With Sanem barely working above toilet duty, excuse me for saying this - I don't want to hurt your feelings - but what makes her think she can just go with Can like that?! What is your sister trying to prove Leyla?!"
"Really Miss Deren? Where is all of this coming from now? You need to calm down! We all saw Mr Can take Sanem's hand and lead her away, not the other way round! How is that Sanem's fault!" Leyla glares at a now pouting Deren. "I'm calling again," she says, putting her phone to her ear and stepping to the side.
"You want to know what I think happened?" JJ asks. "Sanem spoke out of line with Mr Fabri. He went to confront her and Mr Can, being the man he is, decided to save her from the humiliation...He put her in the car and drove off. It's obvious."
"They were holding hands JJ! He had her by the hand," Guliz squeaks. She had gossip fodder for a month. "You know what that means! Oh my God, and she's engaged! Do you think he knows? Maybe he doesn't and she's leading him - "
JJ rolls his eyes. "Shut up Guliz!" he snaps.
"Shut up both of you! You're driving me crazy!" Deren yells at them and then frowns down to the gates leading out. "He threw everything in the trash and For what?!" She turns back to Guliz. "Call again Guliz. Call until one of them answers!"
"Maybe she went home? Do you think I should go and check?" Leyla asks, stepping back over after again not getting through to Sanem.
"It sounds like a good place to - " JJ stops and clears his throat, rushing to get out of the way and stand next to Leyla and Guliz behind Deren when he sees Fabri and Mine come around the corner.
Leyla rolls her eyes and then excuses herself to go home, passing them with a small nod. Guliz also excuses herself to go and call. Deren smiles as best she could with only JJ as support now.
"Miss Deren," Fabri stops in front of Deren. "What just happened? Why did Mr Can leave so suddenly?"
"Oh, he probably just had an important matter to attend to. I'm not sure, I just missed him myself and I think he forgot to charge his phone."
"What can be more important than today?" Fabri scoffs, shaking his head. Deren looks at Emre now walking up behind Mine. "This is very strange."
"You're right. Nothing is more important than today," Deren nods.
"I don't understand. I was talking with Miss Sanem privately and he just took her and left, in turn leaving me in a difficult situation. It's extremely annoying, he should know better as a businessman himself."
"Mr Fabri, I'm sorry, I'm sure it's all some misunderstanding." Fabri looks at Emre. "I'll make sure my brother explains his beahvior to you."
"What misunderstanding?" Fabri asks, getting upset. Everyone was talking in circles and saying nothing. "No, the only thing clear to me is that he doesn't know who he's dealing with." Fabri wipes a hand down his face, sighing in frustration. "Mine," he says after a few seconds, "get everything ready. We'll sign with someone else. I can't work with such mercurial people."
"Who do you want to sign with?" Mine asks just as Deren also starts to protest.
"Mr Fabri - "
Aylin was standing at the entrance of the house waiting for her her car and Fabri points at her. "We'll sign with Miss Aylin."
