Hi Sue it's me.
Well hello, where have you been all day Steve? Mister Smith asked me this morning where you were, but he didn't seem to be looking for you or anything.
What did you say?
I told him that I didn't know. He seemed very busy, as managers always are. Are you OK?
I'm sorry I didn't call you this morning. I've had a cold since Saturday. I haven't eaten much these days, it, it has made me feel really weak. But I'll probably be there tomorrow.
Alright we'll go on a business trip next week and don't worry. You should go see a doctor Steve.
Thanks, but I'm getting better now.
Take care then, bye.
