M: Hi, this is Tom. I’m just calling to let you know that I will be late for today’s meeting.

W: Oh, I see. That’s not good. We have a meeting with clients, so you really should be on time.

M: Yes, I know. It’s just that my car was stolen, and now I’m in a taxi. Right now the traffic is really bad as well, so I really don’t know when I’ll be able to make it into the office.

W: Hmm…well, thanks for calling in. I’ll inform Mr. Doran that you’ll be late. I don’t think he will be too angry.

M: That’s a relief. I know we have this important meeting, and that I should be there.

W: Oh, one moment please. I have just been informed that the clients are also running late. They said they’re stuck in traffic, too. It looks like everything will be okay.

M: Excellent. Now I won’t have to worry about missing the meeting.
