As Carla exited the hotel room her timid body ached, tears no longer fell down her cheeks as if she had ran out of them. As she looked down at her phone she hung her head in shame as her phone began to turn back on.

'17 Missed Calls, Nick'

'9 Missed Calls Michelle'

'2 Voice mails'

She quickly rang her voice mail they were both off Nick, "Car where are you? I don't understand you were fine yesterday and now you've disappeared what's happened? Where are you? I'll come get you." Carla held her head in her hands and began to roughly rub her temples leaving red marks on the side of her face, she then dialled Roberts number she needed to know exactly what had happened last night.

As Robert stood outside the Bistro his phone began to vibrate, "Hello?" "Robert… It's Carla we need to speak come to Victoria Court." Carla whispered whilst running out off the hotel doors. "Well what about?" Robert asked smugly, Carla sighed "Listen don't play games with me I said no, what happened after I went to the toilet?" Carla asked anxiously.

Robert hung up and walked towards the bar where he found Nick, "Nick we need to talk, it's about Carla." Nicks head shot up. What could Robert possibly need to tell him about Carla. "Come to the office" Nick said wearily.

"Take a seat." Nick said gesturing to the near by seat where Carla usually sits when she's having her usual moan about the factory and occasionally Michelle , "So do you know where she is? Where she's been?" Nick began to panic and began to walk back and forth. "She's fine. Well she will be anyway." Robert placed his tablet on the desk and played the video of him and Carla.

Nick's jaw dropped as tears began to fall down his face, "No she wouldn't do this. She wouldn't." He began to raise his voice until his temper got the better of him. Nick pinned Robert against the nearby door with his hands around his throat he began to scream. "Why? Why would she do this? Why would you do this, Why would you record this?" He threw Robert to the floor "I want answers."

"You see Nick this wasn't Carla's doing, I doubt she even remembers what happened last night." Robert said with a massive grin on his face, "What are you saying Robert?" Nick was confused the woman in the video was Carla there was no question about it so how wouldn't she know. "This is where you need to listen okay, I have a proposition for you."

"I drugged her." Nick tries to interrupt but Robert cuts him off "No Nick I'm doing the talking, unless you'd like this lovely video of your fiancé going around." Nick pauses and begins to listen "I didn't think so, anyway I want 25% of the Bistro or else this delightful video" Robert begins to wave the tablet around, "Goes everywhere do you understand?"

"Your lying. You didn't drug her and you wont put that video around, your not like that." Nick says cockily. Whilst getting some whisky from behind his desk and pouring a glass. "Oh yes I did, do you really think she'd of slept with me other wise? Kept banging on about how much she loved you and how she was so happy, It's a pity it had to come to this really, but that's just business Nick." Nick froze he couldn't let something like that go round it would completely destroy her, "You've got 48 hours Nick, do the right thing aye."

Robert exited the room and Nick fell to the floor, what was he going to do. He'd been given a choice his fiancé or his business.

Meanwhile at the Rovers Carla burst through the door sobbing, Michelle looked up instantly and ran towards her "Hey, hey what's happened? Where have you been?" Michelle cried as she held her best friends in her arms. Carla looked around and began to wipe the tears under her eyes away "Can we talk?" She whispered in Michelle's ear. "Yeh course, come through" Michelle said whilst moving Carla towards the back room and staring worriedly at Liz.

"So go on then, what's happened?" Michelle said as she sipped her coffee, "I think I've slept with Robert" Carla said whilst rubbing the sides of her temples again. Michelle sighed "Well you either did or you didn't Car?" Michelle grabbed Carla's hands and placed them on the table whilst giving her a look. "But that's just it Michelle, I can't remember. I woke up this morning to a note." Carla rummaged through her bag and placed it on the table "See."

"Right so what do you remember then?" Michelle said giving Carla the note back, "I was in the casino" Michelle sighed and looked at Carla making her snap "Oh save it Michelle I've got bigger problems at the minute okay" She paused and had a sip of her coffee. "Anyway Robert came in and tried to flirt with me but I told him no, I remember saying I'm with Nick and knocking him back and then I went to the toilet and I can't remember anything after that."

"Right so what are you going to do then?" Michelle said whilst rubbing Carla's hands. "I need to tell Nick, I mean what am I even suppose to say? Hi baby I might of slept with your chef last night sorry, because that's really going to go down well that." Carla looked up at Michelle and began to cry again. Michelle got up and ran to her side "Come here" Carla fell into Michelle's arms and began to weep.

After Carla had calmed down Michelle sat back down in her seat "Don't tell him." Carla looked up at Michelle with disappointment in her eyes, "Are you crazy, I may not remember what happened but Robert does and what if something did happen aye? And then I don't tell Nick and Robert does what will happen then. No Michelle I've got to tell him."

The door then opened causing Carla to spin round it was Nick. Carla looked at the floor and turned back towards Michelle. Nick walked in and closed the door and stood behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder whilst kissing the back of her head "We need to talk."
