The door of Mr Cooper's tailor shop opened, and a woman in her early twenties stepped out after closing the door behind her. She inhaled deeply and flexed her hands in front of her. She was exhausted after the amount of work she did. She opened a little pouch that she had with her to bring the coins out of it. A small smile formed on her lips as her hard work paid off well. Now she had enough money to spend the rest of the week.
She put the coins inside the bag again and took a step ahead when her friend called after her.
"Ruth, wait for me."
Ruth turned to face her friend, who worked in Mr Cooper' shop. Thea was the one who informed Ruth that there was a lot of work in the shop, and Mr Cooper needed a helping hand. She suggested Ruth offer her help in return for some extra pennies.
When her friend caught up with her, Ruth said, "I thought you are going to leave the shop after some time, Thea."
