Ember Hours Novels & Stories

Angela's POV Seeing her panic, I can discern why she was so nervous. When she begged for the half-day holiday. All the employees working here are made to sign a contract, where they have to tell twenty-four hours in advance for the half-day, if they take a sudden leave, then their salary of one week will be deducted. However, never such a situation occurs. Because Mom always understood the condition of all of them. She always supported them and helped them to solve the issues.

I am sure we will be good friends, then.” Emily replies showing her excitement. “Well, as you know you will have to work four hours from Monday to Thursday from three thirty to seven thirty and you will take care of Leona and the library.

It felt like watching a video at double speed. “Hey, don’t just sit there watching. Help me input these documents into the system,” Emma complained, her fingers moving so fast they were practically a blur. “Isn’t it only Mr. Lee’s approvals that stop at six? We can still finish the rest later, right?” Emma's jaw dropped. Her fingers stopped typing, and she looked at Hannah with a strange expression. “Do you even know what regular office hours are? Do you enjoy working overtime?” “Ahh…” Hannah scratched her head. She’d forgotten that normal office hours weren’t a thirteen-hour shift like at the bakery where she used to work. So she could go home before 10 p.m. if her work was done? That sound

, Emb says leaning on the desk. “I have to take my time, the market place is not so appealing”, she says and glares at me, “Funny how I get punished for late coming and your husband does not”, she says. “Allow me to be partial, he is your boss after all, but since I'm in a lighter mood, close early today, immediately you are done with the transfer, maybe spend an hour or two to get to know your people and then leave, take a break, you're pregnant after all”, she says and then continues like she didn’t just drop a bomb.

“I know this is hard for you, but you have to face it sometimes. Some things in life you can't run from forever. They hurt you, yes, but you have changed. You're a perfect, popular doctor. You don't need any reason to run from them. If they ever give you a hard time, your assistant Isaac is there. I'm going to branch over after solving some things there, so you should be assured.

Chapter 16 Three months later It was six in the morning during the peak winters of California. The sun hadn't yet arrived in the east and the sky was still dark. The office of Richmond Industries was completely empty. Because of the extreme winter the office hours have been reduced from morning ten to evening five instead of nine to six. Every one of the staff was raining praises to the kind hearted CEO a week ago when the change of timing was announced.

Emily returned to her apartment, just setting down her bag when her phone buzzed—a message from her senior, Claire. Claire: Hey, Emily! How’s your onboarding coming along? When’s your first day? I want to treat you to dinner as a celebration. A smile tugged at the corners of Emily's lips, and she quickly typed a response: Emily: I’m all set, Claire.
