Alice: Adam. I'm sorry.
Adam: Where have you been, Alice, you're over an hour late.
Alice: Yes, But I couldn't help it. I was late getting off work for a start and then I miss the bus. The bus I did catch that stuck in the traffic jam. It was one thing after another.
Adam: why ere you getting off work so late? The office close at six, doesn't it?
Alice: Yes. But those are the rush in that moment. And my boss ask me to do some urgent letters.
Adam: Didn't you tell him you have an appointment?
Alice: Well, no. I thought I ' Ve finish in five minutes. and I didn't want to be difficult about just few minutes, if I hadn't been missing the bus and in the traffic I wouldn't have been so late. I'm sorry.
Adam: Well. You're here.
