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.

HELPLESS

The next morning, Ruth woke up early even though she didn't need to go to the shop. Mr Cooper had given two days off to his staff because he wanted to do some repairing work in the shop.

They had already completed most of their orders anyway and could afford to have a small break.

She dressed in her simple clothes, mentally noting that she needed to buy a pair of dresses to wear at work. Mr Cooper's tailoring shop was a favourite one among the Nobel and rich families of the western part of the Vincardine.

All of their customers came from the high-class society and that made it necessary for all the employees to look presentable to attend to those customers. All that shines brighter is easier to bid!

Ruth's eyes caught the bag of oranges that she bought yesterday for Florence but she forgot to give it to her. She had spent many hours with Mr and Mrs Payne enjoying her dinner and the time after that.
