CHAPTER 49

Benjamin walked out of the church with a slightly less burdened heart than before. As he drove to the Rye’s Pizzas, he noticed Devon entering a casino. “Why’s he going in there?” Benjamin wondered but didn’t bother too much as he was already tight on time.

His first order today was into a bad neighborhood where even the police would think twice before entering. There was little to no traffic in the neighborhood. He reached the destination, an old house that wasn’t being properly cared for. There was a dog tied to a tree in the garden, and it looked malnourished. The rope around its neck had left a deep scar in the flesh, which had begun to rot.

Seeing Benjamin, the dog began barking with the little strength it got. Benjamin ignored the dog and reached the front door. The was no door bell, so he knocked on the door three times. The door opened and Blackbear was standing on the other side of the doorframe, wearing a pleasant smile on his face.

“Sir, your delivery,” Benjamin gave the three pizza parcels. Blackbear gave him a hundred dollar bill and told him to keep the change. Benjamin thanked him in return, but then said, “ Sir, your dog… it’s going to die soon if you leave it like that.” “So?” Blackbear raised one of his brows and also a corner of his mouth. “You want me to give it a pizza or what?”

Benjamin didn’t know what to say, but then he took out some money and gave it to Blackbear. This amount equaled the tip Benjamin had given him, so Blackbear understood Benjamin’s intentions straight away.

“I’m going to give you one star,” Blackbear said in a rigid tone. “Thank you,” Benjamin said “Hmph,” Blackbear shut the door in his face.

his next order and left it there. The dog greedily gorged on it. Benjamin also left a bowl of water nearby before heading for his next order. Because he brought one less parcel than the ordered number, he was again given one star. When he returned to the Rye’s Pizzas, Christopher was already sharing the news with other employees. A seven-star deliverer receiving just a single one-star rating isn’t a small matter, but receiving two one-star ratings in succession went viral among the other deliverers of the
