I want to ask for a
raise, but I'm afraid my boss
will turn me down. |
Mike |
But, you've been doing a great job. |
Gregory |
I know, but I'm
nervous about asking. |
Mike |
If I were you, I'd
strike while the iron is hot. |
Gregory |
What do you mean ? |
Mike |
Do it while he's happy
with you, and you'll surely get that raise. |
Gregory |
Thanks, I'll try it. I
think I deserve it. |
