W: Do you have a minute, Mr. Johnson?

M: Sure, what would you like to discuss?

W: I’ve made a tough decision to resign, sir.

M: Well, I have to tell you that I’m quite surprised. Is there any possible way to change your mind?

W: I’m afraid not, sir. I’ve made up my mind. It’s something I have to do.

M: Can I ask why? Were you unhappy working for us or have you been given a better offer?

W: Oh, no. It’s my mother. She’s sick and needs someone to take care of her. I’m the only one who can do it.

M: I’m sorry to hear that, but why don’t you just take a leave of absence? We can hold the job for you until your mother gets better.

W: Really?

M: Sure, I’d be crazy to lose a good worker like you.
