"It's coming along," said Byron. "Your files 1 are a real mess. I've spent 3.5 hours on your computer, but I haven't retrieved 3 everything." "Excuse me?" Bill said. "What do you mean, 3.5 hours!? How much money is that? That's $375!" Byron said, "Well, actually, it's $437.50." "$437.50!?" said Bill. "Is this a joke? I can buy a brand new computer for $437.50! You're pulling my leg, right? We agreed to one hour. Then you were supposed to call me. Why didn't you call me?" "It was late at night," Byron said. "I didn't want to wake you. Look, it sounds like you're upset. I'll take you off the clock right now. I'll retrieve 2 all your files, but just charge you for the first 3.5 hours. I still have about two hours to go. You'll be getting those two hours for free. That'll save you $250! How's that for a deal?”
- A stack of files awaited me on my desk. 我桌上有一堆文件正待我去处理。
- Files were strewn higgledy-piggledy over the floor. 文件乱七八糟地扔了一地。
