Camilla had wanted to sit and chat with Alfred but Chris claimed they needed to leave since it was already late for her to be awake. She laughed, he now treated her like a child.
After Alfred had asked who Chris was, he chuckled.
"Am sorry I was joking. I know who you are " he said. He had introduced himself as Camilla's friend and Chris nodded not saying anything.
"Since you know him then you know am getting married soon " Camilla pulled Chris into a hug. "To this handsome giant "
A smile broke on Chris's face.
Alfred laughed, "I know cause the whole country does. And I wanted to call but I lost your number," he said.
Camilla exchanged numbers with him and agreed to meet up the next day.
"He could have just come to the restaurant if he wanted to see you no need for numbers " Chris murmured.
"Am busy the whole day and when I do leave work her restaurant is closed". he had replied.
After they separated, Chris fell silent in the car.
" How do you know Alfred, you didn't seem curious to ask who he was, " she asked.
"I remember you called me a stalker once before you recovered your memory. I knew everyone who came in contact with you ". he said.
" Alfred helped me the most after my accident "
"I know, I always sneaked in during your physical therapy sessions with him " Chris murmured.
"Then you know he is a doctor and a close friend " she pulled him close.
"He seemed to have an eye for you the last time I saw him. And I don't think he changed cause I saw the look in his eyes as he stared at you"
Camilla laughed, "That's because you don't know his secret and I promise you his just a close friend "
Camilla met with Alfred the next day during lunch. She had invited him to her restaurant. And since he was having a break from work he made it on time.
She chatted with him and even got advice on how to take care of herself.
He kept around, offering to help in the kitchen too, so they could talk more as time went by.
Chris finally arrived to get Camilla only to find her asleep with Alfred next to her reading some files.
" She fell asleep," he said getting up.
Chris took his place and placed a hand on her cheek.
"She works too hard and doesn't listen when I tell her to rest.
Alfred chuckled, " She has always been like that never listening to advice given to her "
"Am taking her home then, that's for keeping her company today " Chris said getting up.
"My pleasure and I enjoy her company too," he said.
Chris carried Camilla out while Alfred carried her stuff.
Jack opened the car when he saw Chris walking out, someone was following behind. After Chris got in, the man who had been followed seemed to stop. He noticed his gaze on him and frowned.
Jack walked to him and asked for Camilla's bag.
"Excuse sir, may I get those " Jack said.
Alfred smiled and handled them over, waving to Chris.
He watched as they drove off and then walked to his car as well.
"It's great I met you again, Camilla " he smiled starting his car.
