Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?
Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know. . . Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break. . .
I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are. . .
It's okay. . . I've already had several days in a row working through lunch. . .
How about this. . . We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.
You don't have to do that. . .
I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.
Actually I do like Chinese. . . Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about twelve thirty. Does that sound good?
