CHAPTER FIVE
EVELYN'S POV
"Wha! What do you mean by that, how dare you i will make sure you pay the humiliation." The customer said as she paid for her meal and left the restaurant.
"You better show me something Benson or consider yourself fired," the manager added angrily in fear of losing a customer,
Benson pulled out his phone and showed the manager the video and he was perplexed,
"Carry on, get back to work, nothing to see here." The manager said as he walked back to his office.
"You had a video of her putting hair in her food? Wow some people can be crazy thanks for having my back, And for everything you have done for me in the past months I would love to treat you to dinner this weekend so get ready," we both smiled at each other as we went back to work.
The days went by and the weekend was here,
"Hey you look nice," "And you look stunning," we both smiled as we complimented ourselves, shortly our food arrived and we got talking,
I told him about all my failed relationships, the r**e, and my family and it was obvious he felt sorry for me,
"Oh I'm so sorry you had a go through all that I promise to make things better," Benson said with the calmest voice I have ever heard, and for some reason, I believed him,
"Enough about me tell me about yourself," I said as I wiped the tears and to drop from my eyes with a napkin because I got emotional anytime I talked about myself,
"Oh please don't cry, my name is Benson, you already knew that, I'm an only child, I got cheated on by the girl I wanted to marry with my cousin which broke me and made me relocate down here, got a job at the restaurant and am sitting here having dinner with the most beautiful, strong, intelligent, hardworking and kind-hearted lady I have ever known,”
"Oh mine that's a lot thanks for agreeing to go on a date with me," I said trying to hide my face because I was blushing from the nice things he said about me, that night I realized I could still feel something as my heart pumped twice as fast,
"It's getting late I have to walk you home and I apologize for not having a car," Benson said i he reached out for my hand,
"Oh Benson car or no car this was the best night of my life, and for that I am grateful."
We kept chatting as he walked me home, we heard footsteps approaching as we walked in a dark Harley,
"we meet again baby girl, and you survived this time you wouldn't you punk,"
The hoodlums from the last incident showed up again from the shadows and this time they were six,
"What is that about again?" Benson asked holding me to his chest I could hear his heartbeat, but to my surprise, it was so calm, like he wasn't scared that we were about to be attacked by six men,
And immediately we were attacked and they powdered Benson and beat us into a pulp, collected all our valuables, and as quickly as they came they left, I screamed my lungs out saying Benson was no longer moving, luckily a car approached, and took us to the hospital,
"What happened this time?" The doctor asked as he was the same doctor from the last time,
"Young lady it's obvious you don't know who this man is and he always gets into trouble anytime he is around you, I am calling the cops, you have some explanation to give his family, just look at him he is covered in blood," The so asked looking furious like I attacked Benson,
"No you don't understand we were attacked by those same hoodlums", I said trying to defend myself,
"Really why don't I see any injuries on you?" the doctor asked as he picked up his phone to call the police.
"You better pray he survives this, hello please I need you to come to the Los Angeles General Hospital for an arrest,"
"An arrest no no I didn't do anything wrong please we were attacked," I cried out of confusion and worried sick about Benson, A few minutes later two policemen walked in,
"What is going on here doctor?"The policeman asked and the doctor replied by saying terrible things about me and I stood there wondering why he said such horrible things about me. What was he trying to prove?
"Where is Mr Benson we need his statement," the policeman asked," He is still receiving treatment from my colleague," The doctor replied,
"Alright put a call across to his family, we will take Miss Evelyn to the station for more questioning," The policemen instructed the doctor as they took me to the station,
"Already did that please take her far away from him," the doctor replied with a smirk on his face as I was being taken away,
"Please I don't do anything we were attacked please I need to be by his side his family is far away," I said as I bumped into Jessica again by the hospital doors,
"You again, why do you go around bumping into people, are you blind?" she asked as she hurried into the hospital, and I cut a glimpse of her approaching the Doctor who called the police on me,
The following morning my manager from the restaurant came and bailed me out and the first place I ran to was the hospital,
As I approached the hospital I saw a convoy of new models of exotic cars parked in front of the hospital, this is unusual I said to myself there must be a billionaire admitted to this hospital, I didn't think much of it as I walked into the hospital halls, I was stopped by the same Doctor who got me arrested last night standing with Jessica, and they both looked at me dead in my eyes, as Jessica asked,
"So spilling my coffee on my expensive clothes was not enough for you, now you have gone as far as hurting my man twice?" I stood there and looked confused as I thought to myself, What man was she referring to, was she talking about my colleague Benson? or was this just a misunderstanding as they both have the same first name? Wait, is Benson a billionaire in disguise? I asked myself as I stood there confused with a lot of questions running through my head, staring at Jessica and the doctor
without altering a word.
