W1: Excuse me, Mr. Henderson. Do you have a moment? I have something a bit difficult to discuss. M1: Of course. You sound a little nervous. Is everything alright with your current assignments? W1: Everything is fine, but I was wondering if it would be possible to take next week off. I know the rebranding campaign is in its peak phase, and I feel terrible even asking. M1: I see. Next week is quite critical because we have the final client presentation on Thursday. I'm not sure I can approve a full week's absence right now. W1: I completely understand. I've already prepared a detailed progress report and I've briefed Sarah on how to handle the client's minor requests while I'm away. M1: That shows good initiative. Let me check the project timeline and see if we can make it work with Sarah's current workload. I'll let you know by the end of the day.
