"Hurry Ruth. We need to get ready for the dinner." Thea reminded Ruth of the umpteenth time in a day.
"May I ask what is so special about this dinner that it is more important than my work, Thea?"
Thea froze at Mr Cooper's annoying voice.
Ruth and the other women workers giggled, seeing her nervous smile.
"Nothing, Mr Cooper. What can be important than your work?! You are our kind employer with a heart as deep and wide as ocean and-"
"Enough, Thea. Your sugarcoated words are not going to work on me. Stop wasting both our time and start working." He glared at her and left to write something in the register on his table.
"Start working! Chop Chop!" Thea mimicked the old man in a throaty voice.
Ruth burst out into fits of giggles as discreetly as possible.
"Really Thea. You are overexcited to meet your in-laws. I understand. We will reach Rees's.. I mean YOUR home on time." Ruth giggled again teasingly.
"Yes. With your speed, we definitely will!" Thea said sarcastically.
