A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

SECRET MEETING

Last evening when Ruth's friends came to meet Mrs Payne, she gave them some cookies she had bought during her journey for them.

This morning when Ruth was getting ready to leave for work, Mrs Payne asked if she wanted to take some cookies for Lady Elsie and Edwin, to which Ruth gladly agreed.

Ruth first went to see Elsie. She gave her the cookies, which Leser also devoured... even more than Elsie. Leaving them to fight for the last cookie, Ruth skipped to Edwin's office as she knew that man got on work as soon as his day starts.

She knocked on the door, and after hearing permission from the other end, she opened the door. Closing it behind, she ran to him and hugged him tightly.

Edwin held her close with a smile. Her joy was contagious.

"Someone seems delighted today!" He commented.

Ruth smiled, rubbing her head in a yes on his chest. "Why shouldn't I when I have the great Edwin O'Dell head over heels for me?!!"
