It’s already seven o’clock. I wonder what happened to Bob.

 

Ha-ha! Don’t worry. I’d be surprised if he showed up on time. He’s always late.

 

Let’s go in. I’m starving. He’ll call us if he sees we’re not here.

 

Lucky for us Bob didn’t come.

 

I wouldn’t say that. It’s a pity that he couldn’t come. But it’s true that he gave us a great opportunity to get to know each other better.

 

Why don’t we go to a nice bar after this?
