Bob is feeling very sick. He is calling his boss, Natasha, to tell her that he cannot go to work today. 

Natasha: Good Morning, Bob! How are you? 

Bob: I’m okay. How are you? 

Natasha: I’m good. 

Bob: I don’t think I can come to work today. I’m feeling under the weather

Natasha: Oh, no! What do you have? 

Bob: I have a sore throat and I had a fever last night. 

Natasha: You better stay home. I hope you feel better and let me know if you’re coming in tomorrow. 

Bob: Thanks, Natasha. I’ll let you know. 

Natasha: Bye!
