Max went out of the house and drive away from Walford.
Tanya sighed softly and talked to the girls about what to do today, they suggest to watch movies and takeaway. Tanya went to get takeaway menu but accidently dropped someone's letter, she went to pick the letter up and read it "Leyton? I never heard of it, oh wait I think Max tell me in few times" Tanya thought and can't find any names but only address on letter, went to get notebook to write on it before hide the letter back to the drawers.

Cora asked her daughter "Well I go see my friend she's upset and she need me" Tanya lied to her mother before drive away from Walford to Leyton. She is stuck traffic on motorway to Leyton and sighed heavily to herself "Is that another woman my husband to be affair with? Or a secret child of Max? No forget it and I go confront her or him" Tanya thought and shook her head. Tanya feel worried about Max's secret with Derek on his side.
One hour later Tanya finally stop her car and looked at the house, bite her lip and get up from the car, walk to the door and ring a bell. Tanya turned back to the car until the door not answering. Tanya press the bell three time and yelled at the door "I know you in there" Tanya called out and startled when someone opened the door.
"It's not a woman, or a man. It's a teenager girl and look like 17 or 18 year old, she's too young for Max or Derek, why she share Max's secret?" Tanya thought and looked at the girl "Hello, I think it's wrong address I go to, is anybody home?" Tanya asked her, the girl shook her head and give Tanya a bit of disdain "No one here, only me in house" She replied and cross her arm over her chest "Can I help you miss?" She asked with a sarcastic tone. Tanya shook her head and smile nervously on her face "Do you know...my fiancé Max Branning?" Tanya asked in soft tone and looked at the girl pausing and shook her head "No I don't know him" Girl lied and slams the door.
Tanya can see the girl lied and decide to go back to car, not sure who the girl is, started to drive to Walford. "Tanya, get a grip and demand Max for explanation when he get home" Tanya thought and nodded in agreement what her mind saying to her.
