Elric: Susan, Is the manager in this office?
Susan: Yes. But he is meeting a client.
Elric: Oh, that's too bad. I just got a phone call saying that my wife is now in the hospital. She is going to deliver a baby. I must take the day off to go to the hospital. May I talk to him to ask for leave?
Susan: I am afraid not, but I think I could convey your leave to him after the client goes.
Elric: Oh, that's very kind of you. Thank you very much. I've got to go.
Elric has to ask for leave because Elric's wife is in the hospital. Susan will convey Elric's leave to the manager.
