Archi: Hi Daniel! Sorry, I’m a bit late. I was stuck in a traffic jam. Did I keep you waiting?
Daniel: Oh no, never mind. I just arrived too. How have you been recently? It seems like you’ve been really busy. I can see dark circles under your eyes.
Archi: Yeah, I have been as busy as a bee. But you know what? Efforts will eventually pay off. The project I’ve been working on was well-received.
Daniel: Wow, congratulations! I’m really happy for you. I knew you could do it. I still remember how apprehensive and anxious you were while you were preparing for it.
Archi: Thank you. Yeah, you could see how stressful I was; I even had nightmares about the project failing. I really worked hard on it, so I hoped to have good results.
Daniel: Now a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You can finally relax.
Archi: Certainly. I am planning to give myself a small trip as a reward. I was so worn out in the past few weeks.
Daniel: Guess what? To congratulate you, you can order anything on the menu. Dinner is on me!
Archi: Thanks Daniel. You are too good to me. Let’s see what is the most expensive……
Daniel: Please forget what I just said.
