#Person1#: Susan, Is the manager in this office?
#Person2#: Yes. But he is meeting a client.
#Person1#: Oh, that's too bad. I just got a phone call saying that my wife is now in the hospital. She is going to deliver a baby. I must take the day off to go to the hospital. May I talk to him to ask for leave?
#Person2#: I am afraid not, but I think I could convey your leave to him after the client goes.
#Person1#: Oh, that's very kind of you. Thank you very much. I've got to go.
