【解析】M: Ms. Robertson, for the past three weeks, I have been getting complaints about your work.

W: Uh, what do you mean? What kind of complaints?

M: Well, your supervisor told me you’re turning your reports in 2 to 3 days late, you’re often absent from staff meetings, and you haven’t been getting along with your colleagues.

W: Look, Mr. Travers, I can explain...

I’ve been spending all my time outside of work at the hospital with her, and I even had to leave work early because she went into emergency surgery and I had to sign some papers.

M: Oh... I had no idea, Ms. Robertson.

W: I know my work has suffered these past few weeks, but I promise I will make up for it!

M: Listen, why don’t you take a couple of days off? It’s much more important that you be with your mother while she is recovering.

W: Really, sir? Thank you so much!

M: My pleasure. And I’ll have a word with Morrison. That kind of talk has no place in this office!
