#Person1#: Adam. I'm sorry.
#Person2#: Where have you been, Alice, you're over an hour late.
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: why ere you getting off work so late? The office close at six, doesn't it?
#Person1#: Yes. But those are the rush in that moment. And my boss ask me to do some urgent letters.
#Person2#: Didn't you tell him you have an appointment?
#Person1#: 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.
#Person2#: Well. You're here.
