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, god! I hope he didn't notice me.
Don't take any chances. I think it would be be best if you told him frankly and promised not to be late again. He's already mad at you for last 2 times. If there is any more, 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.
