Edwin listened to Ruth's wildly beating heart and how her pupils dilated at his sight. Her lips were slightly parted as if breathing through only her nose was not enough.
He liked her reaction very much!
"Oh my God! Mr Berrycloth, you look so handsome! I am sure any woman would fall at your feet if you just look in her way. Is not that right Ruth?" Mrs Green purposefully turned to Ruth.
But Ruth was so lost in devouring the beautiful sight in front of her, that she did not realise every pair of eyes present turned to her way.
Thea elbowed her side to break her gaze at Edwin.
"Erm... sorry... what?" She fumbled after getting caught off-guard.
"Mrs Green was asking if you find Mr Berrycloth handsome or not? I mean in this attire!" She added quickly after Mr Welby cleared his throat. But she shared the same excitement as Mrs Green.
Ruth flushed at that question. She fidgeted with her fingers, and while avoiding looking at Edwin, she only nodded her head slowly.
