Tyler was pissed! He didn't know whether to make the trip to Florida first, where Briana lived, or to New York, to let Gelila have it. How dare she? Who the hell does she think she is? As soon as Briana put him on speakerphone, and he heard Gelila's voice, Tyler told his producer, Roger Bobb, to take over the taping as he went upstairs to his office to call Gelila from his office phone.

Listening to the conversation between the two women, Tyler wished, at that moment, he was there to stop whatever was about to be said or go down. He didn't want a repeat of what happened between Briana and Tyra all those years ago. Tyler groaned at the mere memory and started to get more and more upset by the minute, because Gelila wasn't picking up her phone. He felt so helpless, sitting on the other end of Briana's phone, listening to all the lies Gelila was telling her. Although Tyler had told Gelila he loved her and children are something he wants, he never once told her that they would be married or that she would be the one to give them to him. After Tyler saw the birth control pills Gelila was trying to hide fom him, he felt so foolish for thinking she was even going to.

Soon as the call between Tyler and Briana was disconnected. He immediately tried to call her back. Tyler was now trying to get in contact with both women at the same, with no luck. Both women's cell phones just rang and rang, allowing the voicemail to pick up. This just fueled his anger and he slammed his office phone receiver down on the cradle "Damnit!" he said aloud. Tyler wasn't used to being out of control of anything, but at that moment, he felt like a pawn in a game Gelila and Briana both were playing.

The last thing Tyler heard Briana say, was something about the conversation being over, but Tyler knew Briana better than that. Briana was the most laid back person he's ever met, and it took a lot to get her bothered, but when she did...when she got irritated in the slightest or upset in the least, she would go off. Tyler has had his fill of being cursed out, hung up on, doors slammed in his face, and cold silent treatments that seemed to last forever. That's why he knew the conversation between Gelila and Briana was far from over, and Tyler, now, also understood where Briana's questions were coming from about lunch...it was Gelila who set her up. So he could understand why Briana wasn't picking up her phone; she was probably pissed beyond measure and Tyler knew he would have to do some serious damage control or he would never hear the end of it. But Gelila wasn't picking up her phone because she knew what she was doing was dead wrong, and she knew she had it coming to her.

Tyler began to feel himself getting to the point he prays so hard not to reach, but once he was there, it was little anyone could do to stop him. He was seconds away from hopping on a plane, en route to New York, to literally knock some sense into Gelila. Although he has never hit Gelila, he has gotten physical with her, during their year and a half relationship, over things that made him upset with her. Unfortunately, Briana has too, felt Tyler's anger by way of his hands. Both women knew this incident would more than likely make him extremely upset, and they both knew what usually happens when he gets that upset. Tyler was so pissed at Gelila for going behind his back, using his cell phone to get in contact with Briana, and now was telling her God knows what, and he was getting a little upset at Briana too, for even carrying on a conversation with Gelila, and hanging up on him, for what he now feels was on purpose.

Tyler placed his cell phone down on his desk, giving up trying to contact either woman. He sighed a very heavy sigh, hung his head and rested it in his hands, contemplating his next move...

ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER...

Tyler heard a knock on his office door. He had a good mind not to answer, especially with the foul mood he was in. He was trying to calm himself down, so he didn't. He just sat in his chair with his eyes closed. His office door opened slightly, just enough for who's ever head it was to peep in. Tyler looked up to see who had opened his door, and was greeted by a very sweet smile...something that he really needed at that point.

DENISE: "Sorry to bother you, but we're finished. Everybody's leaving."
TYLER : (brief pause) "No, it's okay." (sitting up and leaning back in his chair) "Come in."
DENISE: (slowly opens the door enough to quietly let herself in)
TYLER : (taking his time to admiring Denise's beautiful and slender frame, quietly said) "Close the door."
