Henrietta's POV:
I swear the woman in front of me is a freaking angel. She has to be. Her kind eyes, mouth, face, everything! Okay, maybe the last part was slightly weird.
Her doe-brown eyes take me in carefully, surveying all of my features, which I know make me look like a zombie. She casts me a pitiful look, and then it melts into determination. Ouch.
''Henrietta Araceli.'' Her voice is gentle but firm. I know better than to disagree with her, but I can't help it.
''Sapphire Martinez.'' I mirror her tone, and I see her lips twitch. ''Come on Sapph. I've been working for so long; I can't take a vacation now! Plus, we're in the middle of working out a deal with Lysium Companies! If I take leave now, you'll have less help around here, and people are gonna just think I was lazing around! Which, is kinda annoying. Come on, help me out here...'' I can see pleading isn't gonna work.
Her face stays firm and resolute, and I know her resolve stays strong. Sapphire Martinez. My boss. And I'm the only person who's allowed to speak to her this way since I've worked here so long, we became good friends. You could say it's my lucky privilege.
''Exactly my point. You've been way too stressed lately, and I can tell. Hell, you look like a freaking zombie, Ria!''
Gee, thanks, Sapph. Way to boost my confidence. Totally feeling it.
''Point is, you're taking a break. For two months. End of discussion.'' My eyes widen to the size of saucers.
''TWO MONTHS!?''
''Yes. Now go pack your bags, Henrietta. Shoo, shoo!'' She motions with her hand, and I slowly make my way out of her office, still recovering from my shock. I don't even think allowing an employee to take that long of a break is even allowed.
Not gonna lie though, that woman is one hell of a boss. I'm serious.
