Hell’s Oath: Kill the Heartless

Summary

My CEO girlfriend, Isabella, and I were finally at that age—the marrying kind.

But just as we started planning, she suddenly enacted a bizarre new company policy:

To be approved for wedding leave, an employee must first demonstrate their commitment with a full month of perfect attendance. No exceptions.

From that day on, Isabella—a woman who had a seven-year perfect attendance streak—developed a new catchphrase.

"Bob, I'm so sorry. I was just one minute late again this month. Next month. I promise, next month I'll marry you."
