"Ruth... Ruth listen to me please!" Ruth heard Edwin's voice from behind as she picked up her pace.
"Ruth!"
He finally caught her by her elbow. Ruth paused. The image of Edwin and Florence hugging each other was prominent in her mind.
"Leave my hand!" She hissed in anger.
"Not until you listen to me." Edwin declared with finality.
Ruth turned around, shaking off Edwin's hand on hers.
"What is there to listen huh?"
She was too loud than his liking. He cautiously looked around.
"We should not talk here. Come with me."
"I am not going anywhere with you." Ruth told stubbornly.
Edwin's jaw ticked in annoyance. "Come with me willingly Ruth. You do not want me to throw you on my shoulder and walk through the crowded corridors. Now do you?" He raised his brow in challenge.
Ruth knew that he was not joking. He meant his words.
Helplessly she groaned in irritation but stomped ahead of him towards his office.
