Barbara started the car and they left.
At the Hospital...
Myra had just arrived the Same time Leo and Barbara were back. They were entering from the other door when Leo saw Myra coming from the other door and turned around immediately.
" What is it ? " Barbara asked in confusion.
" Myra is there coming. She must not see us. " He said.
" Oh, My God. She is coming to the elevator. " Barbara saw her and to make things worse the elevator was just on the other side.
Myra saw Leo, That familiar tall figure and she walked to them in doubts.
" Ms, Myra Whats wrong ? " David asked.
" Don't you think the man right there looks familiar ? " She asked walking over to them to confirm.
" Oh my, She is coming this side..."
Barbara was still talking when Leo suddenly cupped her face and pulled her into a kiss.When their lips touched Barbara opened her eyes wide in shock. She couldn't believe what was happening and she felt getting lost into him and closed her eyes. The kiss was not intended but it was sweet as hell that all her hairs stood upright. His sift warm lips melted her slowly.
Myra stopped her doubts when she saw a couple kissing and she went directly to the elevator.
Leo kept his one eye open to see her and as soon as she had entered the elevator with David he pulled away from the kiss.
Barbara opened her eyes again but she looked lost.
" He have to run before she reaches there.." Leo said , grabbed Barbara's hand and ran with her to the stair case.
They were running on a high speed but because of deep thoughts she saw them running in slow motion.
' The truth, I have been restraining myself thinking that maybe I am betraying Myra. But at this point, this very point, I feel like you are wholly mine. And..I won't let Myra or anyone steal you away from me. '
She said inner while they climbed above the stairs. It was tiresome but they managed to reach before the elevator was there because the elevator stopped on the other floors while other people came in and out.
The ran directly to the room where Leo entered the bed and covered himself with the bedsheets leaving only the head and he had just closed his eyes when the door opened.
Barbara was panting from the long run.
" Hi, Whats wrong. Why are sweating and panting ? " Myra asked.
" Well..." Barbara looked for what to say and started jumping.
" I was doing morning exercise you know. " She managed lie.
" ooh, When did you start ? " Myra asked with a smile and looked at Leo who looked deep asleep.
" How is he so far ? " Myra asked.
" He wokeup. Just that he needed more rest. " Barbara said.
Myra pulled the chair towards the bed and sat before him.
" Leo, Can you hear me ? " She asked and when he didn't answer she thought he was deep in slumber.
" Leo, I am sorry about yesterday. I left early because my dad was worried about me. I wanted to come and visit in the morning but I had alot of work to do at the company. But I am glad to hear that you are awake. "
Barbara knew that Leo was listening to all these and all her lies could be turned down so she came interrupt.
" Myra, Don't you think talking will wake him up ? " Barbara
Asked.
" What ? " Myra perplexly asked.
" Well, The doctors said he needs to be in a quite place. " Said Barbara.
" Ohh, Then I will talk to him once he is awake. " Myra said and got up.
" Barbara..." She said holding Barbara's hands.
" Thank you for taking care of him. " She said.
" Don't thank me. It was my responsibility. " She said.
" Let me go and inquire more about his condition from the doctor. " Myra said and then left.
When she was out Barbara sighed and sat back in the spot Myra was in.
Leo opened his eyes. " Is she gone ? " He asked.
" Yes. " She said.
" I have to put on the patience uniform again. " He said getting up.
Barbara brought it to him and walked out to let him change.
She was just out when she saw a friend of her at the hospital and went to her.
At the moment Myra came back and opened the door and the moment she looked at Leo he was just putting on his shirt. He was trying to button his shirt.
He saw her expression and
" Leo .." she called and hurried to him.
He had not seen her until he heard her voice and looked up at her.
" What are you doing ? " She asked putting her bag aside and sat at the edge of the bed besides him.
" I was just putting on my shirt. " he said.
" Your arm must be paining. Let me help you ..." She said and held the sides of the shirt when her eyes landed on his six pack abs and she opened her mouth wide.
He saw her expression and used his hands to remove her's from the shirt.
Just his touch on her hands made her hairs stand and
She looked up at him with her eyes still tongue tied. Her heart begun racing.
" I will do it myself.." He said and released her.
He buttoned the shirt and after she sat back on the chair.
There was silence until she said.
" I am glad you are awake. I've been worried about you. " She said.
" Really, You were worried about me ? " He asked.
" Yes. " She answered genuinely.
" I was calling Barbara now and then. Asking her how you were doing. I couldn't sleep the whole night. " She said.
Leo chuckled. " You are such a good actor. After you called your dad to send guards to take you home, You say you're worried ? " He wanted to know.
" I didn't call him. Who gave you that false information ? " She asked.
" Anyway, I don't need an explanation. I know you have never cared about anyone so I am not surprised. " He said and entered the bed again.
This statement broke Myra's heart into pieces.
