Who was she?

Jeff woke up after 12 hours of sleep, he dreamed of that sweet smile, soft hand that helped him get through the ordeal of injection. It was always Carlo, teasing him, insulting him, each time he needed an injection. Now, someone did not laugh at him, instead sympathize with him. She was his savior.

"How are you feeling, honey?", his mum asked.

"I'm fine mum.", he smiled weakly.

He looked around the room, he couldn't find the woman anywhere.

"Where is she?", he asked, trying to sat down.

He got five stitches done, it hurts a lot.

"She already left, I tried giving her money but she refused.", her mum said.

"It's rare, but maybe she came from a rich family that's why she didn't need the money.", his mum continued.

"Did you get her name and number?", he asked.

"No dear, she seems to be in a hurry.", his mum answered.

"Oh no mum, how am I going to thank her.", he said regretfully.

"I already thank him son, don't worry!", she replied.

Jeff sighed, he would have wanted to get to know her savior better. Now, he won't be able to do it.

It was about 7 pm, when Jeff's phone rang.

"Hey bros, what happen? Are you alright?", Carlo asked.

"I'm fine, just five stitches, it was nothing.", he said arrogantly.

"Five stitches, did you get an injection, oh men! Did you pee in your pants, ha ha ha?", Carlo laughed teasingly.

"Well my friend, you are mistaken, my future wife help me overcome the pain of injection.", Jeff admitted.

"You're future wife? Seriously, was it wife 1 or 2, maybe 3?", Carlo laughed out loud again.

"No dude, I'm serious, she's the one, she save me from the thief, he might have killed me without her.", Jeff explained.

"Someone saved you, who?", Carlo asked.

"Well, I was in pain, then anesthesia, so I passed out so I was not able to get her name.", Jeff scratched his head.

"Ha ha ha, good job dude, you found your future wife but did not get her name.", Carlo continued to laugh.

"I'll find her, regardless. No matter what, I will find her.", he said.

""Good for you!", Carlo encouraged Jeff.

He knew Jeff the best, he never had any serious relationship. He would jumped from one after another. Probably because he was used to being pampered by his family. Somehow, he can read some sense of seriousness from his voice. Maybe he was really serious. Too bad the woman got away.

"By the way how's my truck?", Carlo asked.

"I knew it, you were more concern about your truck than me, your best friend.", Jeff lamented.

"You are important to me of course, but that truck was my baby.", Carlo blurted out.

"Ouch! Kidding aside bros, when are you coming back?", he asked.

Carlo thought for a while, "Hmmm, maybe in a week or two.", Carlo answered.

"Alright bros, Is Tin coming home with you?", Jeff asked curiously.

"Maybe not yet. She needs to stay to iron the rough edges for me. She'll follow afterwards.", Carlo explained.

Jeff nodded, "Alright, how's the progress between you two?", Jeff asked.

"So far, we are still childhood friend as far as I remember." Carlo said annoyingly. Why was everyone, including his family and even Jeff were expecting for him and Tin to be more than friends.

"Poor Tin!", Jeff said.

"Shut up! Go to sleep, I got to go. Bye." Carlo said.

"Alright bros, bye!", Jeff answered.

After a day, Jeff was release from the hospital. He was only given instructions on how to take care of the wound, and was also given some medication.

He was not allowed to drive while his wound was still fresh but he would go the park where he was stabbed every 6 AM, he was hoping to run into Lynn again. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any clue as to who she was.

Lynn on the other hand was traumatized by the incident, she never jog in that same place again. She was frightened that she would run into the robber again. And that he might recognize her and hurt her.

As requested by Bert, she submitted an application for QA. She needed to do a presentation as part of the process. Most of the team members, also applied for the position, it's a rough competition considering that she has only been in the company for six months, and her team mates has already spend years in the company.

On the day of the presentation, Lynn wore something formal, unlike her usual shift day, where she would only wear jeans, shirt and rubber shoes. Today, she was wearing a skirt, blouse and a pair of heels. She memorize her presentation, mostly because she couldn't sleep so she had a lot of time to do so.

"Wow Lynn, you looked like a lady today." Bob exclaimed, followed by a whistle.

Lynn felt disgusted and just ignored his words.

The applicants were asked to prepare their own presentation about their team's performance for the past three months. They were supposed to analyze it, find the strength and weaknesses of the team and provide possible action plan.

Each of them handed their power point presentation via email, then they were allowed to bring their own cheat sheet during the presentation.

The applicants were seated outside the conference room, waiting for their turn.

They were all reviewing their cheat sheet. It was normal that they feel tense.

Lynn went to the ladies room to relax herself, she left her cheat sheet in her chair. Chyx and Bob saw it, they cunningly took it, and threw it in the garbage can without anyone noticing it.

When Lynn came back, it was her turn to present, she was trying to look for her cheat sheet, but it was nowhere to be found. On the other hand, Chyx and Bob were smiling wickedly.

Lynn was forced to go in the conference room without any cheat sheet.

Her presentation lasted for thirty minutes. Chyx and Bob were confident that she will mess up. The more they were certain about that thought because when Lynn came out, she was looking pale and nervous.
