Tonight on The Family Chantel, Chantel's friend Destinee advised her to meet Pedro's coworkers as he was spending way too much time at work. She asked her to become friends with his colleagues because they were his only family.

She asked Pedro if she could join them for drinks, and he agreed. But later on, Pedro said he did not think she would show up. However, he looked disappointed and sad when she showed up.

Chantel was afraid that Pedro would tell his friends about their disagreements because he had previously told her he would tell them about her behavior.

He later denied doing so in front of his coworkers and accused her of making it up in her mind. Even after asking him several times, Pedro refused to introduce her to his coworkers, saying she already knew everyone. While talking to his friends about why the couple had issues, Pedro asked for a drink and later left home without her.

He asked her to come upstairs like nothing had happened however, Chantel refused to accompany him to the bedroom.
