Billy , you are late again .   I'm sorry I'm late . I overslept . Is the manager here today ?   Yes he ' s in his office .   Oh , I hope he didn't notice me .   Don't take any chances . It'd be best if you told him and promised not to be late again . He's already mad at you for last 2 times . Any more and he might fire you .   You said it . It won't happen again . Do you really think he'd fire me ?   I think he might . You'd better go to his office .   You are probably right . I'll go right now and apologize . I try hard not to be late but it is difficult with Beijing traffic .   Good luck !
