Ember Hours Novels & Stories

He ordered. "I still have three hours left... Before my absence for today is enough, if I am absent now I will not be paid..." Beth replied feeling proud of herself, she hasn't worked enough hours today to get paid, at least she must have been absent for seven hours to count into work that day. "It's okay Beth... Later you can be absent and come in again....just add some hours more, you were already at the head office... For one hour..." said Shania with a stern face.

Not after him. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts and gave him a small smile, “Thank you for not killing my best friend and also for those amazing acting skills. Word to the wise though, Emery is like a blood hound when it comes to lies so you better make sure your stories are always on point.” I laughed and looked back and saw that Emery was on his phone with an annoyed look on his face. I wonder if work just called him in. I hope not because I can’t be alone with Dalton. I don’t trust myself and I don’t know if I trust him. “Well, shit,” Emery was putting his phone in his pocket when he came back into the living room, “I’ve been called in. Seems Hernandez caught the funk and calle

Fumi: you said that ten minutes ago Becca: it was actually TWENTY minutes Me: writing that in capital letters makes no difference Becca: YES IT DOES Me: I have a job, you guys. I can’t just up and leave. Becca: YES YOU CAN I rolled my eyes at the keyboard. Unlike Rebecca Hamilton, I wasn’t a trust fund baby. And no, I couldn’t leave until it was closing hours. Companies had rules. She would know that if she worked outside one of her father’s companies for longer than a day. Fumi: HURRY UP ELIZABETH!! Me: be there in twenty-five

She didn’t want to be paid; she was doing this because she liked the little angel. “I didn’t make an offer yet.” Emm pouted; Both Night Blade and Abbey sat in the background without speaking; their lips curling into an upward curve. “How about 3 hugs and 6 kisses?” Amy asked with a hopeful expression nodding eagerly. “Huh?” This time, it was Emm’s turn to be confused before she turned to look at Abbey wondering if it was feasible. “Ha… ha… ha….” Abbey laughed as she extended her claws to pull her little treasure into her arms; it had been 2 months since she had laughed so happily. “I will pay you overtime, don’t even think about taking advantage of my little treasure.”

Hector asks. Ruby smiles at him. “Let’s see, I have been here about a month. So, thirty or so times. Ash, he got here a week or so after me. Trevor has been here longer than me, but not sure how long for sure,” says Ruby. Hector looks at her, then at Rex. “A month? You've been doing this drill for a month?” asks Hector. Ruby glares at Hector, thinking that he is making fun of her. “It is not easy and besides I plan to beat it today. You will be here at least a month, if not longer.” Ruby smarts off to Hector.

"Let's go straight to the point because The Boss is already in his office and he'd like to see you soon. So you have 2 days off a month, you work Monday to Fridays weekdays and Saturday and Sundays are if the boss needs you, that'll be additional pay to your regular salary. Mr Greenwood is a very busy man, he's a little cranky sometimes, just follow his instructions and you two will get along pretty well... hopefully", she said. "Uhm, so I don't have any spare time?", I asked. "Apparently", she said. Good, perfect, just what I need to get my mind off Alex

Ember made a mental note to get off his tracks. "You have one hour to hand me all the 650 files that are pending. If you can't do it, all of you will be cut off from getting paid this month," he said in the next meeting and he meant it. Everyone was terrorized, immediately rushing away. Ember kept her distance but she followed him everywhere.

Christopher greeted. "Where are you, Christopher? How many half days has you taken this month? If you aren't interested in working you can leave the job, don't waste your time and my money." Lee yelled from the other side. "That's not what it is boss. I told—" "This is 25th half day you took today, the month is about to finish. Am I supposed to pay you for your holidays Mr. Corbin?" Lee asked. "No sir, my friend was in the hospital—"

“So? You sure you’ve confirmed the materials for that bangle? Or are you planning your escape?” Grace avoided her gaze. “I never said I was leaving.” “Oh please,” Clara rolled her eyes. “The way you're fidgeting? I’d bet money your husband’s downstairs again.” Busted. Clara kept going: “Even if we go by the standard 35-hour workweek, you still owe me 18 hours.” “I had legal time off last Wednesday to Friday,” Grace retorted. “Plus I stayed late on Tuesday. So I don’t owe you 18.”

The kitchen went quiet except for the ticking of Elena's antique clock and Emma's soft breathing against my shoulder. "What's missing?" Mikel asked carefully. I stood up, still holding Emma, and faced the man who'd fought his way back into my heart with patience, sacrifice, and the kind of love that proved itself through action rather than words. "A clause about priorities. About what happens when Romano-Sterling Enterprises demands more than forty hours a week, more than normal business travel, more than what's sustainable for a family with a five-year-old daughter." Mikel's face showed confusion. "Bella, we can write anything you want. Reduced hours, limited travel, whatever makes you comf
