Who works on Sunday?” “Today is Friday! But even if it were Sunday, a man committed to his work is not bound by dates.” I got up and put on a sweatshirt. “I am an extremely committed man at work, Dad. Everything is organized in the company and the documents you requested are signed. We also have a great team, closely monitored by me.”

Raylie “The supervisor asked me not to come tonight. There’s nothing to do there. But it’s okay. I worked 24hours. I have been in since yesterday after school, remember? My salary would be the same even if I didn’t come to work tonight.” “Whoa! That company's management seems to be very willing to let you work based on your own time.” “Yeah! That’s why I am thankful they accepted me into the company.” I was flustered to hear that. Or did I just hear it wrong? Is she really working? But where? And what kind of work?

I’d love to see this more tender side of the man because all I can truly picture is him wanting a temporary sexual relationship. “Anyway, back to business. What are your work skills and experience?” I try to hide the cringe as I think about my lack of work experience. “I’m hard-working, organized, motivated, good at communication, adaptable to many different situations, and love helping people. I’m looking for a job I can work hard in and build a future with. I am looking for a new start and hope this will be a good fit,” I tell him. I may not have a lot of experience, but putting up with Jack and running the household for him gave me at least these skills.

Frankly, Everything sucks! Since my four months of working here, I can say I have stolen from at least ten people. I can't just stop, especially when I have to pay tasks, water bills, electricity bills, gas bills, house rent, and foooood! Adulthood is a pure scam, you wake up one morning and discover that you are owing a freaking 10,000$!!! Seating with a sad look on my face, I bit my lower lips, pretend to quiver them and it was working. The man suddenly have forgiven me and was begging my boss to let me retain my position but his Karen wife was something else.

he waves his hand around him, “Is not the right place for the conversation I would like to have.” “I’m still not sure I..” “How does 9 am work for you?” he offers. “My driver can…” “No.” “I’m sorry, what?” “I said, No,” I repeat. "I have work tomorrow and I don't trust you." “Why ever not?” he seems genuinely confused. “Because you sneak up on women without introducing yourself. Because you feel dangerous. But mostly it's because I don’t think it is a good idea. How can I take a job at the same place that my husband works?”

ELINNA “It happened in the year I started working for him. He liked working late nights and since I lived in the house, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't work with him. It would help reduce my workload during the day, or so I thought. He acted strange, different from the man who had employed me. He was rough, made more sexual jokes, he'd never come out in the day light. He rubbed me the wrong way but it didn't matter to me because I was being paid and I slept well and ate good food and got everything I wanted since I had his card. Until on day, he touched me.”

“Even if it doesn’t feel like it.” He held her gaze for a second, then looked away. Zoe continued, her voice quieter now, more grounded. “Getting a decent job these days isn’t easy. People apply to dozens before one even replies.” “I’ve applied to nine,” he said. “Exactly,” she replied. “That’s barely scratching the surface.” A faint breath escaped him. “Feels like more.” “I know it does,” she said gently. “But you don’t want to jump into something that will drain you just because it showed up first.”

It's always been you, hasn't it? "Was what I did really lying? I was just trying to stay alive!" I ignored him and got into the car without looking back. Seth yanked the car door open, his face hard to read. "Nevaeh, you'll regret giving up on me." I smiled and waved. "Sure. I'll just wait for that day to come." However, Seth did not do anything. Instead, Janice's revenge came. One day, during a break at work, I stumbled upon a news story claiming I bullied her.

“Shouldn't you be getting ready for work by now?” “No, I'm taking the day off.” Oh, God, he doesn't know anything about the accident or that I missed a week of work because of it. I keep forgetting. It's like my life has become a web of lies and secrets. Keeping track of who knows what, what I can and can't share, is a full-time job in itself.
