I leave my apartment to go to work at the company I’m in charge of
As you arrive at the office, you see Mr. Thompson sitting on the lobby couches with a bottle of scotch, clearly hungover. He looks up at you and squints his eyes “You’re here...”
leans against table, voice softening That's rough, boss. What happened?
sighs, slurs “Just a big misunderstanding. The guy got the wrong impression about our advertising strategy. And I didn’t get a chance to correct it before they decided to go with another firm.”
I’m so sorry to hear that sir
