Are You Working Now Novels & Stories

"But you know yesterday was Sunday right? and you know how hectic sunday's are at the bar" "Sorry babe I forget. But still we need to see or should we just talk over the phone?" "If it's something we can talk over the phone, then no problem, if my presence doesn't matter that much" "Okay lazy ass. It's about the work you asked me to check for you if there's still a vacancy which there's is. So are you still interested or not?" "Gosh Sam! Do you need to ask me again, when you know I need it"

Is it morning now? Wait, oh no! This can't be!

"Where are you? You didn't come to work today or for the past 4 days. You haven't even called. Are you OK?" There was a long silence. "Ayesha.... Ayesha are you there?" "Armaan" She said pausing again. "Yes..." "I'm quitting the Job." "Wait....What!"

“Hi Mia! I am okay, how’re you?” “I’m good, I’m good.” I nodded, studying his environment carefully. “Where are you?” I asked. “Well, I’m at work.” He smiled proudly. “Thought you said that you mostly work from home. Today is not a home day then?” I looked at him, creasing my brows. He had better not lied. “This is my home. I’ve got a home office here, do that’s where I’m at now. And I’m on break.” His face became larger on my phone screen. He was looking into the screen, to see my face?

"No, I don't have time for coffee or anything. In fact, I have to leave the town for some work. So can you begin your job today itself?" "Of course. Anything that fetches good money, I'm ready to do it!"

I ask. “Good actually, what about you?” “I am good too.” “Is there a reason why you haven’t been coming to work anymore? I hope everything is alright Bails?” He asks and I laughed shaking my head no. “Like I said earlier Rob, I have been very busy with some stuff so I had to take a break.” “Oh okay, you working tonight?” “Not at all. I am here to quit my job.” “What?! Did you get a new job?” “Yes, something like that”

Frankie replied. “Shouldn’t you be working?” “I am. I was. I was just taking a break.”

Zero invited, trying to lighten the mood. "Well, at this hour, I have to meet a deadline editing photos from yesterday's client photoshoot. You, on the other hand, have been busy with your laptop all this time." "Well, I still have work to finish too, my dear Zeva. Today isn't my day off anymore, I just got permission for working from home, luckily." "Zero, at this hour, it's not work time in Indonesia. Why are you so obsessed with working?" Zeva expressed her astonishment, which made Zero chuckle and ruffled Zeva's hair playfully.

“You’re not working today?” He smiled. “Nope. It’s all about us.”

I say into the phone, as I still scroll through the files. “Hi, good afternoon.” I let out a short yawn. “It's afternoon already?” I say, looking at the clock. She's right. It's a few minutes after twelve noon. “Yup, where are you?” “Work.” “On a Sunday?” She asks, Her tone sounds disappointed. “Unfortunately. I was busy planning your wedding, so I have a lot of work.” “Must you be the one to do it? I can ask my husband to get someone to work on it…”
