Still, Rani lifts her out of the crib and Callum smirks.

Ajay shakes hands with his client: Tony Corvus. He tells Ajay not to get divorced - it brings out the worst in people. Ajay says his wife's demands are pretty standard: 50% of his savings, investments and the house. He agrees that his wife can stay in the house, because he can move in with his girlfriend - his "hot secretary". He shows Ajay a picture on his phone. Ajay frowns and pushes on with the investments.

He says she should accept it - it happens all the time. Ajay winces and starts packing up his stuff as the couple continue to argue. Tony then notices that Ajay is leaving and asks if they are waiting for Sheree's lawyer.

She retorts that he'll represent anyone the firm tells him to. Ajay says nothing, so she says she spoke to Priya. He asks if Priya said she had an affair with Paul. Charlotte is taken aback, and promises to represent Tony if he takes on other clients. Ajay says he's not coming back, he's resigning to spend more time with Rani. She points out that he needs a job.
