Chapter 86

“Hey, boss, can I talk to you for a minute?” Jesse asked Diego.

“Sure, what’s up, Mark?”

“I haven’t really taken a vacation since I started working here. I’ve taken a day or two here and there and I was wondering about taking a week off. The work has slacked up since the winter hit and I was trying to figure out if it would be possible to take the week off in two weeks’ time. I know it’s kind of short notice.”

“Fill out the forms for time off and I’ll look into it for you. Is it really important? If so, then I may be able to push for it a little more.”

“Well, I want to take my wife on a honeymoon. We never had one and she asked me about it recently. Apparently, she and a friend of hers have been talking about it. The friend kind of told me it was important to her. So, I’d like to do this for her.”
