Speak with Rachel	Speak with Trisha


Rachel: The manager says that we need to finish this work by tonight. Trisha: Are you kidding me? Yesterday, he said that we had until next week to finish it. Rachel: I think that the client called and asked us to finish it by tonight. Trisha: That’s ridiculous. It’s going to take us all night to finish this. I have plans. Rachel: It’s not up to me. If you have a problem with it, then you need to talk to the manager yourself. Trisha: This is so unfair. I’d better call my friends and cancel my plans for tonight. Rachel: I know it’s terrible, but we are in it together. Maybe, we can ask our manager for an extra day off next week. Trisha: Okay. Let’s ask together tomorrow. Rachel: Great. Now, let’s get to work.
