His cyan colored eyes were looking at her. Rose moved two steps back and looked down at the floor.
"We need to shift you to the quarters so get ready" she said in an embarrassed voice.
As soon as she informed him she hurried towards the door and left the room. 'So embarrassing' she regretted talking to him. 'I can't imagine living with him in the same house' she said to herself.
Rose walked down the stairs and waited for Amanda. On spotting Rose near the reception Diana approached her and asked "Hey why have you been acting so weird today? Is everything okay?"
Rose looked at her and smiled faintly. "I don't want to lie to you by saying I am okay neither do I want to talk to you about it right now" she said in a polite voice.
"It is okay I understand. You are really a private person but in case you want to talk about your problems and don't want to be judged, let me tell you that I am here". This made Rose chuckle and she nodded her head.
"How is Mr. Martin?" asked Rose.
"Unhappy. He is unhappy because I am attending him instead of you" Diana replied. "Amanda was not wrong when she said that you are Ms. Perfect" added Diana.
"No one is perfect. Look even I made a huge mistake today and Amanda is mad at me for that" Rose consoled Diana.
"Of course no one is perfect but the one who makes less mistakes is closer to perfection " replied Diana.
"Rose, follow me" ordered Amanda standing at the door. Rose nodded in approval and followed Amanda.
Rose nodded in approval and followed Amanda. Their footsteps stopped when they reached the cab. "Get in" said Amanda.
"Where will it take me?" questioned Rose.
"To the quarter".
"Oh...okay" she murmured and sat in the car. After driving for 0.5 km the car stopped in front of a luxurious, tall building. 'Did they really name a penthouse Staff quarter?' Rose asked herself.
"Here are the keys to the top floor" said the driver handing her the keys.
"How many people know about this quarter?"
"Ms. White, some caretakers who came here to attend big-name stars just like you and I"
"Oh.." she murmured and accepted the keys.
"Ms. White asked to inform you that she will be here soon and no one should know about quarter and the patient. "
"Okay" replied Rose
He nodded and left. Rose walked into the building and climbed the stairs instead of taking the elevator. To her surprise Aydrien was waiting for her at the door. He casually asked "Do you have the keys?". Rose realized that his voice had deepened a bit.
"Yes" she replied avoiding eye contact.
Aydrien shifted from the door and pointed towards the lock. Rose unlocked the door but was struggling to open it. Aydrien sighed and pushed the door open using only hand. 'Is he trying to call me weak' she thought and narrowed her eyes .
When the door opened Rose saw how luxurious the penthouse looked. There was a metallic black colored sectional sofa, an all white classy modular kitchen, a stylish dining table with glass tabletop and some snake plants between the spaces. To Rose the penthouse looked like the perfect example of 'privileged being privileged'. When Rose looked carefully she found the sofa's position to be incorrect as it was kept against the window and blocking the sunlight so, she walked towards it and tried to move it.
"Do you need my help?" asked Aydrien.
"No" Rose snapped.
"Okay" he replied casually putting his hands in his pocket and looking away. This simple reply of his provoked her. "What do you think I am a helpless little girl who needs your support..."
"First of all I don't consider the 5 feet 7 inches you to be little and secondly moving this big sofa all alone is tough so I offered you my help"
"No you actually think that I had a tough time getting over you let me tell you I moved on with a lot of ease"
"Are we really going to talk about our past" sighed Aydrien
"What past?" enquired Amanda.
"How long have you been here?" asked Rose. She did not want anyone to know about her and Aydrien's past.
"I came to check on both of you but when I was climbing the stairs I heard Rose yelling at the top her voice. What happened Rose? "
"Nothing"
"What past were you talking about?" asked Amanda.
"We.. we were talking about his past condition." lied Rose
"And shouting about it too ?" asked Amanda in disbelieve.
"Yah, because he wasn't opening up about it.." Even Rose knew that what she said made zero sense but no other excuse came into her mind.
"Okay" said Amanda
She and looked towards Aydrien and said "I would like to have a word with Rose in private. So if you don't mind.."
"Yeah sure" said Aydrien and went to the bedroom.
On seeing Aydrien leave the room Amanda asked "Who else knows about Mr.Swift?"
"Diana, but I don't think she knows that it is Aydrien. Like he is not the only Swift in the whole world" said Rose and continued "But we do have a problem."
"What?"
"You remember that people were talking about his looks. Maybe some people have seen him."
"But the ones who used to attend patients like Mr. Swift were attending him"
"So it must be one of them"
"If it is just one person who has seen Mr.Swift then we only need to track her down but if it is more than one it might be problem"
"What about others knowing about him being present at the hospital"
"It is not like everybody knew his surname. We will just say that he has been shifted to some other hospital"
"Yah.. but Diana knows that I am attending him "
"Oh...I will talk to her plus I trust her"
"Really?" Rose asked in disbelief.
"No, I know she will be asking me several other questions regarding this matter" Amanda confessed nervously.
"Don't worry we will figure a way out ." Rose softly giggled.
Amanda took a deep breath and said "Now to the main topic. His body will be examined tomorrow after the reports arrive we will show it to the dietician to make a proper diet plan for him and his therapist will be here from 11.30 am to 1.30 pm everyday"
"And his schedule?"
"Oh...you know the timing of his meals, exercises and walks so you can make a schedule for him."
"But I never dealt with such a patient"
"You will have to treat Mr.Swift normally for him will act normally" said Amanda smilingly.
"Have you seen the furnishing, structure and design of the house. Don't you think it is bit too much fancy for 'patients' "
"Well their families pay for such treatment. I really don't have any control over it."
"I get that" scoffed Rose.
"Have you seen the glass table top"
"I don't think that would be a problem. You will be here all the time to look after him."
"Oh, no if the table will be here his life would be in danger. Who knows when I would get frustrated and throw that table at him" joked Rose.
"Rose what is your problem with him? At first you did not want to attend him then I heard you yelling at him and now this. Please don't expect me to believe in your He-was-not-opening-up-so-I-yelled theory. You never do that. Tell me if there is a problem?" asked Amanda curiously.
"Nothing. I just don't get good vibes from him" she answered looking away.
"Is that all?"
"Yes it is" confirmed Rose.
"Rose this morning whatever happened..."
"Oh….I deserved it. The mistake I made was huge. The scolding was important so that I further never make such mistakes"
"I am happy that you didn't understand my intentions"
"After all I am Ms. Perfect. I heard about that from Diana" whispered Rose
"Yeah I had given you the title but after what happened today you are not anymore the Ms. Perfect"
"In that case I will make sure to get that title back"
"I know you will" said Amanda with a smile on her face. She headed towards the door and said "It is time for me to leave. You can go back home after he sleeps."
"Okay, bye"
"Bye" replied Amanda and left.
"Can I come out now ?" asked Aydrien
"Yes you can" Rose gave him the permission.
Aydrien walked out of the room and saw her trying to move the sofa.
"You go and close the door and let me try shifting this" he said.
"Okay" replied Rose with a straight face without arguing.
When she went to close the door she saw a shadow. On looking up at the person she saw Jaden standing.
He smiled and said "Hi"
"Hi. You scared the hell out of me" Rose replied
"I met Amanda downstairs. She said you were attending someone public personality. Who is it?"
"Rose this is really heavy for me to shift alone. I need your help" said Aydrien while attempting to move the sofa.
On hearing his voice Jaden murmured "Is that Ayd...Aydrien Swift"
