常用应急场景

Hi, Francis, morning! How are you doing today?

Indeed, I agree that is not a good start. How about the meeting? You missed anything important?

It is ok. My boss briefs me later on.

Was he unhappy with you not attending the meeting?

Err¹, kind of. You know this traffic jam is really bad with so many new cars hitting the streets these days.

Did you punch² in?

Yes. By the way, you are having a great make-up today. I like the color of your lipstick³. So adorable!

Really? It took me really a while to find the color. I am happy you like it.

Well, girls like us are happy to spend our time on those kinds of things. Actually, do we still have a meeting this afternoon?

Sure, when those never ending meetings.
