The two women who were in their early twenties waited patiently while the old man sat thinking deeply with his brows creased in the middle and the wrinkles on his face prominent than ever.
The other three pairs of eyes waited anticipatedly for they were also excited to know the man's decision just like the before mentioned two women.
Ruth's heart beat fast against her chest while Thea's confidence started to quiver with the passing time. Mr Cooper didn't expect this situation and thus was confused.
Ruth slowly lifted her hand to wipe a drop of sweat that rolled down her right temple. Her large hazel coloured eyes watched the man expectantly while her heart chanted a pray to God.
Finally, after giving a good thought to Thea's words, Mr Cooper's eyes again found the face of two women, one of them was on the verge of crying and another was ready to snap at him.
"Why do you think I should hire you in Thea's place?" He directed his question to Ruth.
