Harry stopped all of the sudden, his confusion washed away when their eyes locked into each other, he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen since years, and he was amazed, deep inside him there was something moved a heartbeat maybe or his stomach, Is he hungry? no he is confused because he never felt this feeling before since ages, but his stubborn mind refuses any single Idea or even hope that he can just slightly fall.

"Um Hello?" Lily started as she drifted him from his distraction. 

"Hello, are you Lily.....Johns?" He was looking at the file again then looked at her again.

"Yes it's me" she smiled innocently and she gave her hand to shake with harry as a gesture.

Harry kept looking to her hand then towards her face which have the most innocent smile ever as he thought deep inside him and he was thinking back and forth if he could accept her hand gesture, but NO, that won't happen to stubborn Harry, He just kept holding the file in his hands.

"Hello, I'm Harry and I'm going to show you the place and teach you the basic skills to be a museum docent, Hope you already have a knowledge in history aren't you?" Harry said this Monotonously and in a dull way that anyone could just escape and leave this hell hole because of his boring and rude attitude.

"Yeah, I have full knowledge in history and was a top student since I was in college" Lily said that sweetly and passed by him to see more statues, Harry was surprised by this action, since when someone leave him like that while he was talking, he tried to contain his anger and thought that this girl is totally crazy and he is obliged to deal with her.

"Listen girl, I don't have time for this, are you going to listen to me or leave just like that?" Harry started to get angry somehow, She turned again to him and looked at him in the eye and started to talk.

"You have a problem dude, why don't you fix it and come talk to me again?" She snapped at him and at that time Harry started to boil inside and suddenly grabbed her wrists and squeezed it hard and looked furiously at her.

"You think you can easily teach me how to behave, then you are wrong little miss, I'd prefer to throw your file in the garbage and refuse your application" Harry let go of her wrists and kept looking to her and see how will she behave, Oh Harry, you're being mean.

Lily took the file from his hands and Harry saw a tear approaching in her eyelids and in one swift motion, she ran upstairs to the boss office. Harry saw all of this happening and looked left and right and yes the employees were watching him, The guilty Harry who can't deal with women.

He went to his office and shut the door hard behind him and fumes were coming out of his head to the degree he shoot a chair, he opened the fridge and gulped a whole bottle of water instead of any alcoholic beverages, Did if forgot to tell you the reason why he is being a healthy person? Oh sorry, My bad, Well he is like that because....... Umm, why don't you complete the story with me and you will know? 

Harry brought his work back on the desk and tried to focus again but he was distracted, he felt he is being guilty and he shouldn't threatened her but at the same time she also made a mistake to talk to one of the most important museum docent like that, he was shattered in his thoughts.

Rebecca opened the door without knocking and stared at Harry for a while.

"The boss needs you" She said bluntly.

Harry stood from his chair and walked outside the office passing by Rebecca, He went upstairs to the boss office and knocked the door as Williams let him in, He saw Lily sitting opposite to Williams desk.

"Boss" Harry greeted.

"Have a seat please" Williams let Harry sit on the chair opposite to Harry, Lily faked a smile to him then looked to Mr Williams, Harry's confusion rose again and again, of course she is a crazy girl.

"Harry, I would like to thank you for the tour that you gave to Mrs Lily, she told me about what you have did to her and she liked to be a real intern here" Williams began, Harry widened his eyes then frowned and looked to Lily again then to the boss.

"But Boss I....." 

"By that rate we will start tomorrow and remember, many tourists are about to arrive here within few days before Christmas, I need both of you to memorize each and every historical piece here, we want to make a huge impression among the whole world that the historical museum is the place to entertain and educate yourself in" Williams cut off Harry and leaned backwards on his chair folding his arms over his head thinking dreamingly that his museum will be such a huge thing in the next few days.

"And now off you go, I have lots of work to do" Williams shoved them out of his office politely and with a smile, this old man never fails to spread positivity among his employees.

Both of them walked outside the office and Harry closed the door, both of them were looking at each other outside Williams office and Harry noticed that she was holding her file close to her chest and hugging it tight, Well yes, He is a total guilty man and should put himself in shame box like the kindergarten.

"Here, take my file if you want" She handed him her file and Harry took it with a huge confusion on his face.

"So when we will start?" Lily asked as Harry was still looking in Awe. She waited for his response but still didn't get anything from him.

"Great, we will start now" She announced out of the blue and made her way downstairs as Harry followed her with huge question marks rushing over his head, he decided to ask her why she did that and he actually did, he grabbed her wrists again but this time gently and she turned around facing him and frowned her eyebrows in confusion, Oh boy now we have two confused persons.

"Why?"

"Why what?" She asked.

"Why you defended me and praised me in front of the boss although you know what happened?" 

"I can see a good person inside of you" 

"But I am not" 

"Yes you are"

"You just met me seconds ago" 

"And I gave you a chance to show me the better version of you" She smiled to him.

Harry was zoned out by her words and thought is she really playing and messing around him and he don't have time for this or mentally able to handle this right now, he didn't forget the past...yet.

Harry spent four hours showing Lily the whole place and explained to her the historical figures and pieces in the museum and in the meanwhile, Rebecca showed up introducing herself out of nowhere to Lily but of course she have a bad deep intentions but Lily was fine by that and she was glad to meet new people, Harry on that case was neutral, he didn't care one of a bit about what Rebecca is doing, she is just someone in the museum...According to him.

 It's five already and it's time to close the museum, Harry have taught her everything so far and still more to come for tomorrow and showed her a small office where she is going to work in and sked her if she got any questions.

"you seemed a nice person, why you showed me the bad side of you?" She asked him.

Harry couldn't answer her question and left speechless, He never felt this before in his life, I mean Ever! 

"It's okay not to answer me, See you tomorrow Mr. Harry" Lily waved a goodbye to him and started to walk towards the huge exit of the museum, then she left in the snow outside god knows where.

Harry packed his things and wore his coat and left the museum to start fresh his real day, he went to his large apartment few blocks away from the museum going with his fancy car to his home, once he reached out there, he packed his sports things and went to the gym, that's where he find happiness and distraction of his thoughts out there, for sure you're asking where is his parents...sometimes you need to hide a secret but eventually Harry will expose it someday.
