The Contract

Scar 

Beep...beep....beep...

I awoke to a loud noise going off in my room and turned around to see what it was until I laid my eyes on big red numbers stating that it was nine o'clock in the morning. I knew I was going to be late for work if I didn't get up now.

I got out of my bed and walked to my closet while setting out my outfit on my bed and headed to my bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth before letting out a long sign, because I already knew today was going to be a long day.

Work isn't bad since all I do is hire and fire and make sure none of the employees are doing anything unethical, but having to drive so long to work and back becomes tiring at the end of the day. I look around for my shoes since I couldn't wear regular ones to work. 

It takes my a while, but I still had time for breakfast and grabbed my wallet and keys and headed out the door to a fast food restaurant. Once I order my food, pay, and leave the drive thru I'm back to heading to work.

I grab my power bank for my phone just in case it dies, and gather my breakfast altogether and left my car locking it as I walk away. I entered my workplace and headed to the back rooms where my office is located. Once settled in I receive a knock on the door making me again twice today sign loudly.

"Come in." I raised my voice so that whoever could hear me.

"Hey Miss. Greene I was wondering if I could get a vacation break. Since I'm in school we have spring breaks and I would like to go to the beach with my family." Zayne a worker asked me.

"Let me check your work history. Go ahead and sit down." I logged into our workers portal to see if Zayne has been coming to work on time, no strikes, or to see if he was a person who would call out with an "I'm sick" excuse.

I looked through his profile and cleared him for an okay marking the days he requested and gave him his slip that stated when he would not be coming in and when he would have to come back.

"Thanks Miss. Greene" He smiled leaving my office.

"Don't mention it." I replied even though he was long gone. I enjoyed my breakfast at my desk answering a few emails when I received a call from my mom. Usually she knows when to call and not to.

"Hello?"

"Hey Scar, it's mom."

"Hey mom is everything okay I'm working right now."

"Yeah everything is okay, I'm sorry to call you while working, but would it be possible to come home. There is something your father and I would like to discuss with you."

"What is dad health bad again?"

"No it has nothing to do with me nor dad. Just...can you come home?"

I pull the phone away from my face and now three times have I signed today.

"Sure mom, I will be on the plane after my shift is over with okay."

"Oh thank you sweetheart. I love you."

"I love you too."

I hung the phone up and called a temp HR worker to come and assist me at work. I put till I come back, because I honestly don't know what is going on back at home.

I click out of all the portals I'm in and continue to eat my breakfast and work for my remaining shift.
