"Will you please wait till my helper brings everything you need?" The shopkeeper asked politely.
"Yes, of course!"
Hearing Ruth's response, the shopkeeper turned to attend to another customer. It was early in the morning and that was why there was no rush in the grocery shop. Ruth was thankful for it because she couldn't handle the suffocating crowd in her current state of mind.
Ruth had given the list of the groceries and essentials that she and Mr and Mrs Payne needed. By this time, she had made sure to take her mind off of the two incidences that happened since the morning.
Right now she waited outside a small grocery shop from where she usually bought the things she needed. The shopkeeper was a kind person and had given Ruth groceries when she was short on money.
She had taken out some money to clear her debt with him from her salary. And the feeling of lessening the burden of debt was satisfying much.
