You should delete the comma after "office."

It's optional, but I think preferable, to insert "that" after "said."

Hi Nicky

My version:
On Monday morning, she walked into my office and said she had wanted a raise for five months.

Cheers

Unless she still hasn't gotten the raise and not too much time has passed since Monday morning. Then I would stick with "has".

"On Monday morning" means "today" is not Monday.

I'd agree with Cool Breeze.
