CHAPTER FOUR

EVELYN'S POV

"What the hell? Show your face," One of the hoodlums shouted as they all got distracted and I took the opportunity to stand up and look for a weapon to defend myself,

"I said don't touch her," The man with the deep voice walked closer and I recognized him immediately, the handsome man from the restaurant,

"Hahaha", the hoodlums laughed, "How foolish can you be, you are outnumbered we are four and you are just one, I can see you walk at the restaurant a few blocks away so just go home and rest, this doesn't concern you,"

One of the hoodlums said as he turned to face me and released I found a log of wood,

"Hahaha," He laughed "Baby don't hurt yourself with that,"

"Come close and find out," I said as I swung the wood,

He grabbed me, slapped me, and while I struggleed with him a fight broke out, the man from the restaurant took down three of the hoodlums and I couldn't be happier, as he approached the fourth hoodlum,

He got stabbed in his ribs by one of the hoodlums he just fought with, on seeing the blood the hoodlums ran leaving me with someone I don't know in the pool of his blood, immediately I reached for my phone and called the emergency line,

A few minutes later the ambulance pulled up and took him from my hands as I was already covered in his blood, I had no choice but to follow knowing he was stabbed while trying to save me.

"The operation was successful and he will be fine, are you his wife or girlfriend?" The doctor asked trying to confirm our relationship,

"Oh no he saved me from some hoodlums I don't even know his name," I replied, still covered in his blood.

"Alright in that case you should go home and be back tomorrow, he should be up by then to give his identity so we can reach his family,"

As I took a hot shower washing his blood off my body I thought to myself what if he wasn't there to save me what would he have been my faith,

I thought of how brave he was to risk his life for a total stranger. What is his name and what kind of a man is he? I asked myself as l stepped out of the shower, dried myself, and got into bed, I could not close my eyes to sleep as I was still in shock and fear,

The following morning I got to the hospital.

"Good morning doctor, how is he?" I asked the doctor with hope in my eyes,

"Oh yeah he is up but has some visitors now, You can go in when you see them leave his room, excuse me what was a man like that doing in that neighborhood?"

The doctor asked, looking confused.

" I don't understand,” I replied looking more confused.

I waited for a while and got treaty, so I got up to get something to drink,

As I walked back with a bottle of water in my hands I saw the expensive clothes lady, Jessica, leaving the hospital looking disappointed,

"Why do I keep seeing her everywhere I go?" I asked myself as I walked into his room to check if his visitors were still there and luckily for me, he was alone.

"Who do you keep seeing?" He asked, wearing a fake smile trying to hide his pains.

"How are you, hope you don't feel much pain, oh my goodness you lost a lot of blood and I was so scared, But looking at you now am glad to see you are ok," I said with a smile on my face,

"I am Evelyn, what's yours? I asked as I stretched my hands out for a handshake,

"Benson," he replied as he put out his hands to shake mine,

"I appreciate you for what you did last night you practically saved my life,"

"Oh it's nothing am glad you were not harmed," He said still smiling to cover his pains,

In no time he was back on his fit, and we became colleagues at the restaurant as I applied to work there while he was in the hospital,

I was retained even after he was discharged from the hospital, Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, as we became friends not just colleagues, we grew on each other so much that I forgot about my family issues and I told him all about my childhood and family issues, he told me about his family and his failed relationship as well.

"Hey you, why is your hair in my food?" An angry customer asked looking furious at me,

"Oh can I see that, it must be a mistake, as you can see my hair Is covered and there is no way it could have gotten into your food," I replied politely,

"So you are calling me a liar? Where is your manager I need to speak with him or her because you are incompetent," she continued looking more furious,

"Ma'am please take it easy no need for name calling here, this must be a misunderstanding as all our chiefs and workers do cover their hair while working in the restaurant," Benson added trying to defend me, "Are you the manager?" The customer asked,

"No I'm not," Benson replied,

"So who asked you to talk here you low life," she continued calling us names as our manager walked in and asked,

"What is going on here?"

"It seems you are the manager, well I found her hair in my food so I am definitely not pay for it," she said pointing at me,

"Oh we are so sorry about that, yes yes your food is on the house," the manager added,

"No Evelyn will not take the fall for this rude lady, I saw what you did and I have pictures, it's either you drop this right now and pay for your food or I show everyone here pictures of you putting hair in your leftover food when you were done eating so you don't have to pay,"

Benson said as he looked deep into her eyes waiting for her next word, while we

all stood there looking confused.
