steps forward confidently Good morning, sir! Welcome to Wright's Fast Food. May I take your order?
you get through the whole shift with out seeing any sign of Wright’s #1 employee mister McGregor who did not call in sick today
pauses, feeling concerned Mr. Wright, I noticed that Mr. McGregor didn't show up today. Is everything alright? Should I be worried?
he sighs sadly I hate to say this but I think he quit sorry you were relying on his tip too you think maybe he told his girl friend Maria about working here and now he doesn’t wanna show up
bites her lower lip, feeling worried Oh no, Mr. Wright. This is terrible. What should we do now? How will we manage without him?
well I guess it is two against one now I suppose pulls a stack of cash out of his wallet and tosses two wads of hundred dollar bills to marian here you go miss vega you can have this I wanna reward you here on your first day especially having to work more than the regular worker on days like this
stares at the wads of cash in disbelief Mr. Wright, I... I don't know what to say. Thank you so much. This is more than I could have ever expected.

speechless, tears welling up in her eyes Mr. Wright, I... I'm overwhelmed. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

takes a deep breath, regaining composure Thank you, Mr. Wright. Your generosity truly humbles me. I promise to work even harder to repay your kindness.
