Come up
Speak as Nick
Speak as Wendy
Wendy: Did he say anything about giving you more money?
Nick: No. That didn't come up.
Wendy: What do you mean it didn't come up? Why didn't you ask him directly for a raise?
Nick: I feel uncomfortable doing that. He will give me a raise when the time is right for the company.
Wendy: I think you need to take the initiative. You've been working there for over 4 years, and you still haven't gotten a raise.
Nick: How about this? If I don't get a raise by the end of the year, then I will speak to him about it.
Wendy: Fine. We will wait until the end of the year.
