"Just now," Charlie sighed, "Maybe you should think about leaving this job." "I don't want to retire," Patricia said, biting her lip.

Charlie patted her shoulder, "Mr. Johnston has already agreed; this decision won't change." "But-"

Patricia started to argue, only to be interrupted by Charlie, "I understand your thoughts, but I also feel that your happiness is my happiness."
