well solved

The lady starts to panic and look around searching for something only she new what and later smiled. Looks like she got what she wanted because now she is standing with her arms over her chest. She tipped her head and gave Ajara an arrogant smirk.

"So what are really saying? That am lying about this? she had an angry expression on that made those around start murmuring .

" What do you think that am trying to frame you or what? And what could you possible give me that will be more important compared to risking my reputation? You not only serve contaminated food but also have disrespectful staffs. I can't believe this. How old are you? What makes you thing you can talk to me in that manner? Is that how you treat your customers?"

She raised her voice such that even those by the entrance could hear her. The more she spoke the angrier she became. Ajara stood there unfazed with her reaction. This cause the customers to start spitting shit and supporting the lady in question.

"Mary?" Ajara waved her hand at the lady by the refrigerator to come over. The lady called Mary went and stood by her, Ajara whispered something into her ear and she went away.

" I thought you were showing off when you refused to call your manager to come and answer to me, eh.. I quest you are just a frightened little cat" the lady saw Mary going away after Ajara whispered to her and believed she was asked to call the manager. She now has a look of superiority while glaring at Ajara.

Meanwhile the audience were busy recording and Comments in harsh language. You need to muster every strand of courage in your body to withstand all the insults and criticism the people were bringing out.

" I will make sure you are fired when the manager comes." said the lady when she realized Ajara seems to care less about the situation. Thinking this will make her cower, after who will like to be jobless is this modern system where money speaks.

"Ok." That was all Ajara said making the lady almost choked on her smug look. She pointed her index finger and was about to reprimand when she saw Mary coming to them. The kept her hand down and said to Ajara with a complacent tone .."Lets see if you can still pretend not to care" she snorted and asked Mary..." where is the manager?" the place became quite waiting for Mary's respond. Mary did not take a second glance at the lady and went closer to Ajara given her a light nod.

"What was that for?" she asked looking from Mary to Ajara as if the answer is written on their faces.

"You have been talking and now is my turned, what do you say?" asked Ajara

"What impudence " she said

"From what I learned, respect is reciprocal. So don't expect me to respect you, ok?" said Ajara

" Don't you think your behavior is too much? Won't you ask her for forgiveness? I can't believe they let a bitch like that work here"

"She has no respect whatsoever "

"You are just nothing but a servant here. The only difference is that this is a restaurant and not a house "

"How can she be so arrogant?"

"I will never come here again and also, I will make sure none of my friends visits here"

The crowd never missed an opportunity to disparage Ajara including the restaurant.

The were determined to scorn her to death or eternity.

Some were about going out when Ajara clapped her hands. " Security, please close the entrance " she added

The crowd that became silent after her clap were about to go on a rampage when she raised both hands causing them to remain quite.

"Am sorry if I have offended you, that is stopping you from going out. But I need you to listened to me before going. We can't let our customers go without clarifying the problem, don't you think so?" She said raising her eyebrows .

"Mary, please play the video." she said and all eyes fell on Mary and followed her hand which was holding the remote controller to the TV. A footage was playing and this attracted the attention of all those present. A was showing a video of the lady in the restaurant with Ajara serving her food. When Ajara left after serving the food, the lady stopped watching her phone and move to dig in.

When she eat not more than half of the food she looked around as if to check if someone was watching. Then she checked the ceilings and the corners before putting her hand in the bag. She removed a black rubber bag. While glancing around she removed a hair strand and put it in the remaining food. After mixing it with the food, she kept the rubber bag back into her bag and called the waitress. And now this whole show took place with as the main lead.

"D you have something to say? oh,..... you searched everywhere except one place for the cctv camera." 'The television that is right in front of you.' She added within herself and turned to face the people in the restaurant " Up to know the person who needs to apologies is her "... she pointed a finger at the lady " not me. And to you miss, did you say what will you gain framing us? You don't need an answer do you? Mary, do me a favor and call the police." she kept her hands on her waist with a serious countenance.

"I'm sorry. please, please forgive me. I swear I won't do it again. Please am begging you" the lady who had a smug look minutes ago is now frantic with worry as she begged to be forgiven.

" You knew it was wrong and you didn't hesitate. So what difference will it make to spare you? You will only enhance on you skills next time, am I right" Asked Ajara with a look that will make the other person cower in fear and trepidation.

"please, please am so sorry. I just... just didn't have enough money to.. to pay" she said with her eyes glistening with tears.

"Is it a must to eat what you can't afford? You were prepared when you came. That only means this isn't your first. You are a woman like, so why can't you work? Can't you also be like me..... no, should I say a servant like me as you guys put it. Put the people aside, how about your conscience, don't you feel guilty?"

The lady could only tear up without a word in shame and embarrassment.

"What you did, not only harmed you, but also those around and this restaurant's reputation. God forbid, if anything were to happen where do you expect the employees to get their pay? You want them to also lose their jobs and fool around like you just did? How would the world be then? If you change your ways, you're only going to help yourself and if you don't, it's still going to affect you not me or anyone else. Is up to you to change or not."

She turned to Mary and shook her head to dismiss the idea of involving the police.

"You can leave now" she said and started walking away.

"And please..." she stopped walking and address the customers "I can't stop you from posting those videos but, do me a favor and cover the faces. Thank you. And oh.. one more thing I'm not implying that am ugly... hmm hahaha " she said with the last part sounding more like a joke.

As she passed by Shadrach who was quietly listening throughout, he lifted is head and said " well solved", which made her to pause but he focused on his if like he wasn't the one who spoke.

She smiled in return and walked away.
