Chapter 22 - Isla's troubles

...

<POV: Isla>

"Um, boss? Could I have this attested by you? The Section Manager needs this documented as soon as possible. Please, I beg you! He is making my life miserable for it."

I turned my sight away from the papers and looked at the man standing beside me. He was a complete mess as his sweat drenched clothes stuck close to his body, while he breathed heavily while holding a folder in his hands.

I couldn't help but get annoyed being disturbed during my work like this. But, in a professional world, you cannot help but swallow your complaints.

"You should go over to the Deputy in charge for this kind of stuff, right? I am not sure if it would be okay for me to do this on my own..."

The man's excitement visibly fell as his hopeful face turned into a crying one instead.

"T-There won't be any problems! I am sure of it. Please! I don't know who else I could turn to if you refuse me. Please, boss?"

This guy... he is really getting on my nerves now. Should I just beat him up? I am really considering this option now..

"Hah... alright. Let me have a look at the document first before I accept it alright?"

The man's face brightened immediately as he pushed the folder to my desk and spoke,

"YESSS!! Boss, you are totally awesome! I will buy you lunch tomorrow for this. I will leave it to you then!"

The man didn't even wait for my response and just dashed out from my office.

"Wait! Ah... he ran away already.. What kind of junior is he? Leaving all this work for me to deal with? I already have a lot of stuff to do of my own too, you idiot!"

Unable to scold or swear any further in the office, I tried to quickly sort through the documents and attested them after checking them many times.

After being done with hem, I went back to preparing my report for this month's production data. This is the kind of work I am the most proficient in. Things that no one wants to dabble in.

Paperwork. The Managers are only obsessed with their own luxury as they push all their work to their juniors while enjoying the credit for their work.

After submitting my report to the Deputy in charge, I rushed over to my next commitment.

It was already 6.50 PM by the time I reached my Part-time job location.

10 minutes early today, huh? That's something new for sure.

Then again, I got no time to waste. Must get ready for the shift quickly!

I am managing two jobs right now. It's obvious why though, with the economy being so bad and me being the only earning member of my family, I have to make sure that we have enough money, in case things turned for worse someday in the future.

I could manage to feed and clothe my kids with the money from the first job, but they need top grade education too. I want my kids to be able to achieve everything that they ever dream.

With my second job, I am able to fulfill my obligation as a mother towards them.

I rushed towards the employee area and opened my locker to quickly changed into my professional suit in the changing room.

Compared to my Office suit, this one was a bit too flashy, but it just works fine here. Not many of my colleagues or friends know about the details of my second job though.
