Aurelie: Hi, Steve, could I work from home today?
Steve: Hi, Aurelie, why would that be?
Aurelie: I'm not feeling well and I don't want to catch anything on the bus...
Steve: You know what our policy regarding home office is, Aurelie.
Aurelie: I know, but I thought with the project's deadline around the corner it would be better for the company if I worked from home than if I got really sick and had to stay home on a sick leave.
Steve: You're right. When is the deadline exactly?
Aurelie: The day after tomorrow. And Ross is on holiday, so there is only Mathew and me in the team.
Steve: Oh, I see. 
Aurelie: So I would really appreciate it if you agreed. I would devote all my attention to this project - I would just do it from my bed, sipping hot tea...
Steve: OK, you may work from home today.
Aurelie: Thank you, Steve!
Steve: Just don't advertise it too much, or everyone will want to work from home next week.
Aurelie: Sure thing, boss! My lips are sealed.
Steve: I hope you feel better soon.
Aurelie: Thank you.
Steve: And I appreciate your devotion to this project and your responsibility. 
Aurelie will work from home today, because she's not feeling well. The project's deadline is the day after tomorrow, Ross is on holiday, so there's only Aurelie and Mathew in the team.
