"Ruth"

It had been a week since Ruth started working as Rose's second assistant. But no one in the company liked her. She was rude to her fellow workers like she was higher than them.

"We all don't like her " Rose listened to the other employees complain. She had taken those under her out for lunch. Ruth had been invited but she decided to stay at work.

"I know you guys are having a hard time with her but she's all we have for now," Rose said. Her hands were playing with the food instead of eating.

"Last time she yelled at me after I forgot to give her what she had told me to complete, " one said.

"Just the way she walks pisses me off," another said.

"I heard a rumor that her goal was seducing our cold CEO " Rose placed the fork down looking up after she heard. The rumor had been going on fora while but Rose had ignored it.

"What makes you say that?" she asked.

"When you not around, Ruth keeps popping in his office even when she has nothing to report to him," one said.

"It's like she keeps hitting on him, but as we all know hi. It's like hitting a rock " they all laughed.

Rose smiled, " Arthur is as soft as a teddy you just don't know him well," she said.

They all looked at her with eyes of envy, " his only like that to you " they said.

"Let's forget about Ruth and enjoy ourselves, " Rose said as she ordered a cake for herself and ice cream for others.

Ruth was done with the work that Rose had left for her. She walked out of the office heading to Arthur's office. She knocked and walked in.

He was talking with Sean they seemed to be busy that none looked up when she walked in.

"Can I order you both some lunch?" she asked.

"Not hungry " Sean answered.

Ruth stayed standing there with her eyes on Arthur. Sean looked up then back at Arthur. He bent closer to him and whispered.

"It like she's waiting for your answer," he said.

Arthur looked up at Ruth, who immediately smiled.

"You can leave now," he coldly said.

Ruth froze for a while before she moved. Her smile had evaporated with his cold words.

Before her hand rested on the door handle, the door was jerked open. Rose walked in holding packed food. Ruth could smell it.

"Ohh.. you here," she said with a smile. " I bought you some lunch it's in the office," Rose said walking towards the men who had looked up the moment her voice was heard.

"Thank you " Ruth gave Rose one of her fake smiles. She watched as Arthur welcomed Rose with a gentle, warm smile.

Sean who had claimed wasn't hungry was already in Rose's packed food with excitement.

"Hi, don't touch that until I say so," Rose said pulling away from the packed food.

She pulled out a huge one placing it in front of Arthur and pushed the other to Sean.

"That's yours," she said.

"But why do I get the small one?" Sean complained.

Rose gave him a look and laughed, " Do you need to ask "

Sean dropped back and opened his packed meal giving Arthur a cold glance.

Arthur moved his head turning to the figure still standing in his office.

"Leave, " he said.

Ruth didn't wait for the others to look at her and ran out of the door.

"Your so rude to her " Rose opened Arthur's pack.

"She's weird," Sean said between chewing his food.

Arthur didn't say a thing and opened his mouth for Rose to fed him.

Sean watched as Rose fed him, " I should tell Irene to come to feed me too " he said turning away from them.
