M: Why do you look so upset? Anything wrong?

M: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.
W: Mr. Henderson, is it possible that I have a couple of days off? I know the auditors are here at the company and everyone is extremely busy, but I was raised up by my grandparents and I will be regretful for the rest of my life if I weren’t with him for his last days.

W: Thank you, Mr. Henderson. I really appreciate it.
M: Never mind. I just hope everything is OK and you can be back soon.
