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 ADMIRER?

After thinking for a while, Ruth finally decided to talk with Thea about her fear of someone following her. She couldn't do that before because she had only one thought on her mind- Mr Payne's health and the money she needed for his further treatment.

A day before, the physician came and checked his health status. He assured that Mr Payne's health was improving slowly, and now Ruth and Mrs Payne could heave a sigh of relief.

She felt a load had been lifted from her heart, and now she could talk with Thea.

"Thea…"

"Ruth…"

"I want to talk to you!" They both said in unison.

They both shared the same expressions on their faces- worry. Before any of them open their mouth, they heard a man grumbled in distaste.

"Yes, I also want to talk to you both. This is my shop, my workplace. And I don't pay you for talking. Move your hands with the thread and the needle or the door is that way!"
