M: Why do you look so upset? Anything wrong?
W: I just got the call from my uncle.(1)He told me that my grandpa had a stroke this morning. I’m really worried.
M: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.
W: Mr. Henderson, is it possible that I have a couple of days off? I know the auditors are here at the company and everyone is extremely busy, but I was raised up by my grandparents and I will be regretful for the rest of my life if I weren’t with him for his last days.
M: Hmm, I think I can understand your feeling. You would say I am inhuman to stop you from going to see him. But you must make sure that the work in your department won’t be delayed.(2)As a director, you must promise that you will always be available if anything urgent happens here and people won’t have any problem contacting you while you are away.
W: Thank you, Mr. Henderson.(3)I will keep my phone on 24/7 and I will be immediately back if my grandpa shows any signs of recovery.
M: OK. You have always been trustworthy and I’m sure I can trust you. When do you plan to leave?
W: I intend to leave this afternoon. I probably need to drive for five hours to Boston for I don’t think I can book a flight in such a busy season.
M:(4)I have a friend who works at the airline. I’ll call him and see if he can get a seat for you.
W: Thank you, Mr. Henderson. I really appreciate it.
M: Never mind. I just hope everything is OK and you can be back soon.
