person A: my boss asked me a question that I had an answer to but I did n ot want to get anyone in trouble so I said I didn't know anything about the situation.
person B: maybe it was best to avoid drama at work
person A: maybe_comma_ but what drama did I avoid. Not getting a co-worker in possible trouble or not being honet with my boss?
person B: not getting your coworker in trouble and causing a conflict
