even now/still
'Al sol de hoy' is the same as 'Al día de hoy' and I can't find a suitable translation that woud fit here.
I think I would write, 'I still can't understand why you carry on working for me'.
'Even now I wonder why you're still working for me'.
'I still ask myself today why you haven't given up working for me'.

Sorry, 'which might suit', NOT 'which you might suit...'.
I think I would write, 'I still can't understand why you carry on working for me'.
'Even now I wonder why you're still working for me'.
'I still ask myself today why you haven't given up working for me'.

Spanish term (edited):
Al sol de hoy todavía me pregunto por qué sigues trabajando conmigo
It never ceases to amaze me that you're still working for me
OR: It never ceases to amaze me that you carry on working for me
As this is a dialogue, I'd use a freer, more colloquial translation, incorporating the whole phrase

OR, even less literal, perhaps: I can't for the life of me figure out why you're still ...
