Carlos slowly bending his head crawl beneath the bed "hey..."

Harley looking around replied "hey..."

"She is not coming here" whispered Carlos.

"Really?" asked Harley looking deep into his eyes.

"Yeah..." nodded Carlos.

"Promise?"

Carlos pinched her cheeks and said "Promise... come lets go out." He held his wrist to pull her out.

"Wait... where are we?" asked Harley.

"Come out and see yourself" Carlos pulled her out.

When both of them stood on their feet he wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her out of the room. Harley's eyes widened seeing living room with Hollywood Glam interior design.

The room was incorporated with features of Victorian design, including plush, velvet furnishings, tufting and antiques. The colour palettes was turquoise.

"You live here?" asked Harley turning towards Carlos.

Carlos slightly nodded his head and replied "Yeah... you like it?"

"I love it... it is so beautiful" she said in excitement but suddenly excitement left her face "you are sure right? Queen will not find me here? I really don't wanna go with her Carlos... she is so evil."

Carlos made Harley to sit on the the couch and kneeling before her he said "she is not going to find you Harley even if she finds you also I will not let her take you away, I promise..."

Harley nodded her head and looked around "by the way do you have any idea why she did that to me? The queen have I done anything wrong to her?"

Carlos was speechless he had no idea how he was going to explain her. If she got to know that she killed Queen's son then she would definitely take to much tension which was not right for her.

"Carlos..." Harley patted his shoulder seeing him lost in deep thought.

"Hm..." replied Carlos.

"I asked have I done anything wrong to queen?"

"No, you haven't... it is just arrogant Queen who tries to suppress everyone in her hand" replied Carlos.

"She is really so evil..." Harley leaned her back.

"By the way who is Nate? You were calling out his name a while ago" asked Carlos standing on his feet and sitting next to her.

"Nate..." Harley tried to remember.

"Yeah... you hugged me calling out Nate" replied Carlos.

"Um... I... I cannot remember."

"Okay don't stress yourself. It is not good for your condition. Tomorrow I will change your bandage. For now tell me what do you want to eat? I will cook it for you..."

"You can cook?" asked Harley in astonishment.

"Yeah... why?"

Harley shook her head "nothing just asking..."

Carlos stood on his feet and said "tell me what you want to eat?"

"Anything you will cook" replied Harley.

"First come I will show you your room. You take rest I will cook dinner for both of us" said Carlos.

As they walked upstairs Carlos pointed to a room and said "that is my room and this is yours. If you need anything I will be just next door so you can give me a knock."

Harley nodded her head and followed Carlos into the room which was cozy and beautiful. The wall was painted in blue and there was medium sized bed in the center. At her right was washroom and on left big window. She sat on the soft bed taking deep breath and leaned her head closing her eyes.

"It's been a week don't you feel boring staying home not going outside?" asked Carlos sipping his coffee.

Holding her cup with both her hands Harley replied "better stay home and stay safe rather than being captured by her and tortured to death. I really really don't want to face her Carl."

"You got a point..." he said smiling at her.

"What about you? You have also not attended your job since one week don't your boss get mad at you?" she asked looking him up from her cup.

"No, he won't..." he replied giving her a laugh.

"Hearing your laugh I feel like he is not strict."

"No, he isn't..." replied Carlos winking his eyes.

"But I have never heard you calling your boss for the leave. Don't you need to inform him?" she asked out of curiosity.

"Noooo..." he replied.

"But why?" she got more curious.

"It's because boss don't need to get permission from anyone don't you know that?"

Her eyes widened and covering her mouth in disbelief she said "You what? I mean... you are the boss. You own that hospital?"

He slightly nodded his head "Yeah..."

"Are you kidding me? Why didn't you said me before?" she punched his arms.

"You never asked..." he replied keeping his cup on the table and rubbing his arms.

"Anyway in case if I don't find my family will you give me a job in your hospital?" asked Harley giving witty smile.

"Well I need to think..." replied Carlos.

"Oh! come on you are the boss and you are saying you need to think. Wait a minute don't you want me to be around you?"

Carlos hurriedly said "No, I didn't said that... I mean... I want you... no not want you..." he paused being nervous. Harley gave him a smile which made him more nervous and he hurriedly looked sideways.

"God Carlos what is wrong with you want not want..." he crushed inside and as he was preparing an answer he stammered "I..." luckily his cell phone rang and he got a chance to change the topic.

He took his phone out of his pocket. As he glanced at the number he got shocked "why is she calling me?"

"Everything alright?" asked Harley seeing the sudden change in his expression.

"Yeah... I need to take this call" he replied and walked few steps away from her.

Harley didn't understood what was going on. The sudden change in his behavior made her curious to know who was calling him. But unfortunately she was not able to listen his conversation just watch him from distance sipping the coffee.
