interrupting No excuses, Ineper! I trusted you to handle this. You know how important music is to set the mood for tonight!
Look ma'am I tried my best but they are late cause there were problems with the instruments

The bass was stuck in a van that arrived late and the guitar amp was malfunctioning due to overheating
runs a hand through her hair, visibly frustrated Overheating? Seriously? Who was supposed to make sure everything was in working order before the event started?
takes a deep breath, trying to contain her frustration No one? Are you kidding me, Ineper? We can't just wing it and hope for the best!
I'll go see what I can do, ma'am.

What should we do then ma'am?

The lights look good, ma'am. Bright and colorful just as requested.
continues pacing, checking the placement of the DJ's equipment Excellent! Now, Ineper, I need you to mingle with the guests.
