Theodora had received the news of Ruth staying in Edwin's office for many hours, which made her wonder what the two of them were cooking.
She was waiting for Ruth to come out for the whole day, but when that did not happen till late in the evening, she became restless and furious.
She was adamant about putting that maid at her right place, but she had a dinner to attend at one of the noble family's places. She was preparing for this dinner a week prior and had a special dress made for it.
There was no way she was missing a chance to flaunt her new dress and a set of diamond necklaces and earrings to the other ladies from the elites.
Telling Fannie to be on alert, she left for dinner. When Ruth came out of Edwin's office, she had teary eyes and looked disturbed. Fannie was confused at her state.
What was going on?
