No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 87



"What's going on? Why the break?"

I was practically on fire as I confronted Ernest, demanding answers.

"Taking two days off a week is the law, and considering our workload, taking one day shouldn't be an issue, right?" Ernest's question left me speechless.

I struggled to keep my anger in check. "Mr. Collins, you're not wrong, but given our tight schedule and the looming deadline, can't we push the break back a bit? Maybe speed up the progress, or I could offer you overtime pay."

Ernest looked at me intently. "It's not about the money. We're not robots; we gotta take breaks regularly to keep running smoothly."

He had a point, but our situation was different.

Trying to calm myself, I asked, "So, Mr. Collins, taking a break today is absolutely necessary?"

"Yes," Ernest replied with finality.

I turned to leave.

I was fuming, turning back to face him. "Mr. Collins, just enjoy your break. Whether we rest is none of your concern."
