Dialogue:

M: Sally, come downstairs, please. Look at this job advertisement.

W: (from a distance) I'm coming. Walt a moment. (nearer) Eric, I'm here. What's the matter?

M: Look, Sally. Here's a job advertisement. "Start a new life with Exco Exports Ltd. as personal assistant to our managing director!" Perhaps it's the job you want.

W: Personal assistant to the managing director? Yes, it is! Eric, would you like to read it for me?

M: It's my pleasure! Now, listen--"We will give the right person £ 3,500 pa for a 45-hour week, free training, the chance to join a pension scheme, 3 weeks' holiday per year and a company car! Canteen facilities are also available."

W: She told me there's a job opening for a secretarial position in her company. She asked me to apply for it.

M: Sounds good. Would you like to try?

W: I am interested in the work, but you know, her company is in the city of Edinburgh. So I thanked her and wrote down the address only.

M: How kind she is!

W: Yes, she is very kind... Oh, she invited us to her villa to attend her birthday party this Saturday.

M: Sure we are going to attend it. But what present should we take? How about a bottle of wine, or...

W: Eric! Look, here's another job advertisement.

M: What is it?

W: Listen: "Join one of the world's fastest growing companies: Exco Imports Lid."

M: How about the work?

W: (go on) "We are looking for a personal...

Question: Why did Sally refuse to work at her auntie's company?
