'I Love You. No, I Don't Love You' For this anonymous (анонимный) and
ashamed (пристыжённый) employee, a well-regretted phone call (звонок,
о котором очень сожалели) left her humiliated (заставил её быть
униженной) at work for life. After a professional telephone call with her boss,
she ended the conversation (разговор) with 'Alright, I love you, see you later!'.
This is what she'd usually say to her family at the end of a call, but it certainly
(конечно) wasn't meant for (не предназначалось) her boss!
To save herself from the embarrassing situation (постыдной ситуации), she
panicked and said: 'Oh my God! I didn't mean that. I absolutely (точно) don't
love you... No, I mean, I like working for you, but I know you're married, and
I'm married, and I'm not flirting, so please don't report me to HR for
harassment (домогательство)...' In the midst (посредине) of the madness
(сумасшедствия), her boss hung up (повесил трубку). Of course he did
(естественно, что он это сделал).
Answer the questions:
1. What is this story about?
2. Have you ever ended a phone call by blurting out something
inappropriate?
3. What would you do if you were that employee?
4. What would you do if you were her boss?
