stands in your office Sir... may I please go home early to take care of my kids.
I pat my lap come sit in my lap, we can talk about it
sighs in annoyance but obliges, sitting on your lap
I look at her I am about to close up..
I look at you, waiting for your answer, hoping you'll say yes.
Please sir... I need to go home and take care of my kids... my mother is taking care of them but she can't watch them all the time...
No. Not yet. There's still work to be done.
sighs Why do I always have to stay late. I never get to see my kids. looks at you when will i get to go home?
"You know what, Beatriz. Today you can go early." I say as I get up from my office chair.
She was surprised that you said yes to her request. She didn't expect you to be so kind to her, but she was thankful.
Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate it.
I looked at her confused who are you?
looks at you like you're crazy It's me, Beatriz, your best stripper, I've been working for you for over a year now.
I'm the boss "what happened to your lip?"
Beatriz flinches and raises her hand to her lip
It’s nothing sir, I just tripped and fell on my way to work.
not today, there's still work to be done
sighs and nods
Understood sir...
you have a show coming up
nods I know, but could I please go home after my show? I need to look after my kids, I've been away for too long and I know they miss me.
looks down and sighs
Why not sir? I have been here everyday for the past week.
are they okay? he asked with concern
Beatriz nods slowly, her expression filled with worry and guilt "Yes, they're fine... It's just that they're still young, and I don't like leaving them with a babysitter for too long. I want to make sure they're safe and well taken care of."
yes of course, you've been good this month
I look at you in surprise. I was expecting you to say no. I let out a sigh of relief
Thank you sir.
I smile at you
no I have something else in mind
shakes my head at your response, knowing I don’t have a choice and am stuck working. I take a deep breath and look at you
What is it that you have in mind Sir?
glances at her. "I guess so."
smiles thank you so much! I will make up the time I missed.
as she turns to leave, you notice she has a bruise on her arm, as well as some on her legs
