Call from Matthew's office to Amber
3:15pm

Matthew
"Amber, where's Ms. Dreviosa?"

Amber
"She's in Finance Department.
Why?"

Matthew
"What is she doing there?
Are you giving her a hard time
here at work?"

Amber
"What?? What do you mean?
May kailangan lang sya tapusin."

Matthew
"Pinapahirapan mo ba sya
dito sa trabaho?"

Amber
"Of course not! Nag-sumbong ba sa'yo?"

Matthew
"No. May nakarating lang sa'ken."

Amber
"You know I'm serious when it comes
to work."

Matthew
"I know. Tinatanong ko lang kung
totoo nakarating sa akin."

Amber
"Mas naniniwala ka sa kanya?
You're taking her side?"

Matthew
"There's no side here. I'm
asking as your Boss."

Amber
(Sighs)
"I know, I know. I'm sorry.
You know she hates me.
From what happened to
my ex husband and I."

Matthew
"Just do both your jobs.
And don't think about confronting
her about this. I don't want any
conflict here. And she does not hate you."

Amber
"I understand."

Matthew
"Then call Ms. Dreviosa and tell
her she can take a day off tomorrow."

Amber.
"Okay."

End call
