Tim is having lunch with Mrs Hall, one of his customers from the department store. She has a surprise for him. What is it?
Tim: | That food was delicious! |
Mrs Hall: | It took ages to come but yes, absolutely scrummy. Ready for afters? |
Tim: | Thank you. |
Mrs Hall: | Go on, open it. |
Tim: | World Cup tickets! How can I ever thank you Mrs Hall? |
Mrs Hall: | Well you can start by dropping the formality. Please, call me Janet. |
Tim: | Alright … Janet. |
Mrs Hall: | Much better. Now, my husband’s away on business next month. So we’ll do lunch again then. |
Tim: | Your husband? |
Mrs Hall: | Well where did you think those corporate tickets came from? Yes, he’s good for some things but quite dreadful for others – like decent lunch company. |
Tim: | I’m not sure if I’m free. Let me check the rota first. |
