This morning, your employer did suggest a possible reason for your failure to appear, it's true - it had to do with the money that was recently entrusted to you - but I came near to giving him my word of honour that that could not be the right explanation.
El jefe me insinuó esta mañana una posible explicación a su demora, se refería al cobro que se le ha confiado desde hace poco tiempo. Yo realmente di casi mi palabra de honor de que esta explicación no podía ser cierta.
