"Thea, are you done for today?" Ruth asked while leaning on the edge of the working station of Thea.
"No... not yet. I'll need fifteen minutes more, please." Thea answered without looking up from her work.
That was another fine trait of hers. She was all bubbly and playful all the time but whenever it came to work, she did it with dedication and focus.
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
Ruth had already asked Thea if she could accompany her to go and get Mr Payne's parcel. Thea couldn't say no if she could get to leave the shop earlier.
To Ruth's surprise, Mr Cooper was in a good mood today and when she asked him for allowing the early leave for the day, he instantly agreed. The day was just good. What could go wrong?
Barely after five minutes, another employee came with a shirt in her hand. "Thea, this needs your urgent attention. Mr Cooper has asked you to recheck the measurements and do the adjustments accordingly."
