Dialogue: I have an important appointment today, but I'm not sure if I can make it.
A: Hi, how are you doing today?
B: Hey, I'm not doing so well. I have an important appointment today, but I'm not sure if I can make it.
A: Oh no, what's the appointment for?
B: It's a meeting with my boss and some clients. We're discussing a new project and I was really looking forward to it.
A: Why can't you make it?
B: I have a family emergency that just came up. My sister-in-law is in the hospital and I need to go see her.
A: That's unfortunate. Have you talked to your boss about it yet?
B: No, I haven't had a chance to. I was hoping I could still make it to the meeting, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
A: You should probably call your boss as soon as possible and let him know what's going on. He might be able to reschedule the meeting.
B: You're right, I'll do that. Thanks for the advice.
A: No problem. I hope everything works out with your sister-in-law.
B: Thank you, I appreciate it.
A: 안녕, 오늘 기분은 어때?
B: 응, 별로 안 좋아. 오늘 중요한 약속이 있는데, 참석할 수 있을지 모르겠어.
A: 안 돼, 뭐 어떤 약속이야?
B: 사수님과 몇 명의 고객들과의 미팅이야. 새로운 프로젝트를 논의하는 거였는데, 기대하고 있었었는데.
A: 그럼 왜 못 가게 됐어?
B: 가족 긴급 상황이 생겨서야. 시누이가 병원에 있어서 가봐야 해.
A: 그러게, 안 좋은 일이야. 아직 사수님한테 말 못 했어?
B: 아니, 아직 기회가 없었어. 미팅에는 가고 싶었는데, 그게 안 되는 것 같아.
A: 가능하면 빨리 사수님한테 전화해서 상황 알려주는 게 좋을 거야. 미팅을 다시 예정할 수도 있을 거야.
B: 맞아, 그래야겠다. 조언 고마워.
A: 별 말씀을요. 시누이 일이 잘 해결됐으면 좋겠다.
B: 고맙다. 정말로.
