Person 1: I really want to thank you Michael, for taking me to the meeting. I just can’t get used to driving on the left..
Person 2: No problem.
Person 1: You used to work for our new chief legal officer. Chrisitne Bender, Didn’t you?
Person 2: Yes, that’s right. She and I started in the legal department five years ago. Then I changed to IT.
Person 1: Christine is so successful. She did an amazing job for us dealing with that whole corruption scandal last year. Don’t you think?
Person 2: Yes, but between you and me, Christine could never have managed that without her team.
Person 1: That’s so true, Michael. She always picks good people to work with her. By the way, I heard on the grapevine that she's going to move to our New York office next.
Person 2: Yes, I heard that too. I wonder how her husband feels about it. He’s a journalist, I think.
Person 1: Well, according to Christine’s assistant, Mrs. Weber, that’s not a problem. He’s going to write articles about New York nightlife. Although I can’t imagine who’s going to look after the children then.
Person 2: Apparently, they’re going to have a nanny. I overheard Christine talking to the boss about it this morning. It must be very expensive, but they'll have enough money.
Person 1: I suppose they might appoint somebody from Christine’s team to carry on her work.
Person: Ah no! It seems that Christine didn’t want to recommend any of them to the boss, so Gabriele from the commercial department will take over. Christine’s team was really angry.
