"Oh, that's a small sum! You should have told me about it earlier. I would have helped you with that." Mr. Woods pretended to be generous. "It's also okay if Sam helps you. Since you want to resign, I'll settle your pay tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll clean the kitchen and leave." Irene cleared the plates from the dining table.
