Bill and Ray had been working for the same company for over ten years, and in all that time they had never had an argument. All that changed last Friday, though.

It was almost time to go home and Bill, grinning widely, walked up to Ray and said, “It’s nearly five, Ray. Are you coming out for something to eat?”

Ray looked at Bill and replied, “I really wish I could, but it looks like I’ll have to do some overtime this evening.”

 COME

Bill was shocked. “What? It’s Friday. You can’t work overtime on a Friday!

Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Ray thought for a second but then shook his head and said, “I really can’t, Bill. Mr Cameron called me into his office earlier and asked me if I could stay late and finish up a job for him. He hasn’t done that before, so I couldn’t say no.”

Bill didn’t know what to say. As he walked / was walking towards the door, Ray called out to him. “Hey, maybe I can catch up with you later.”

Suddenly, all the times Ray had offered to help him when he was having problems on the job came flooding into Bill’s mind.

“I guess I will stay, too,” he said to Ray.

“We’ll get the job done twice as fast if there are two of us working on it.”
