A: Excuse me. Brad, right? Didn't we meet at the conference?
B: Oh, sure, hi! Good to see you again. Oh, I'm so sorry and this is really embarrassing, but I can't seem to recall your name.
A: No worries, Brad. It happens. I'm Jenny by the way.
B: Jenny, right! You know I'm in a bit of a rush to catch my flight but here's my business card. Call me!
A: Jenny! Fancy meeting you here!
B: What a pleasant surprise, Brad! Actually, I've been meaning to call you./ A: Oh, really?
B: Well, your presentation at the conference was quite intriguing and I wanted to talk about it with you sometime.
A: Sure, I'd love to. Let's catch up soon! You still have my contact details, right? B: Of course. I'll text you.
A: Hey, Jenny, how about we meet for lunch tomorrow?/ B: Sure, Brad! What are you in the mood for?
A: Well, I'm pretty flexible. What about you? B: I'm craving sushi actually.
A: (grinning) Sushi it is! My treat for not remembering your name at the airport.
B: Well, you really don't have to, but if you insist. Thanks./ A: Jenny, I'm so sorry I'm running late. Stuck in traffic.
B: (a bit annoyed) It's alright, but please hurry up! I need to get back to work by 2.
A: I'll be there soon, promise! Traffic is just terrible today!/ B: (concerned) Just drive safely, Brad. I'll wait for you.
A: (relieved) Thanks, Jenny. I appreciate your understanding.
A: So, Jenny, tell me more about your background. What got you interested in foreign investment?
B: Well, when I was working as an intern in Korea, I fell in love with the global market.
A: That's fascinating! I've always been a numbers guy, so investments clicked for me.
B: Seems like we have more in common than I thought.
A: How come they don't bring us water?/ B: Oh, the sign says,"Water is self-serve."
A: That's interesting. So, we have to get it ourselves.
B: That's right. In Korea, it's common for customers to pour their own water.
A: And there's no tipping in Korean restaurants, right?/ B: Exactly. Tipping isn't customary in Korea.
A: I'm amazed at how convenient this cashierless store is.
B: I know. We just pick what we want and walk out without waiting in line.
A: It's a time-saver, isn't it?/ B: Totally. I love how quick and easy it is.
A: On the weekend, I usually have to wait in line for a good ten minutes to check out! What a hassle!
A: Happy Valentine's Day,Mina. Any plans for today?
B: You, too, Tom. I'm going on a date with my boyfriend. I hope he surprises me with something nice.
A: That sounds lovely. I'll be video chatting with my girlfriend in LA.
B: Long-distance relationships must be tough, but you two seem to be going so strong. I think that's just great.
A: So how was your date last night?/ B: Oh, don't even ask. We're on the verge of breaking up.
A: What? what happened?/ B: He said something came up at work and kept me waiting for two hours!
A: Oh, I'm sorry./ B: I got so upset that I couldn't eat at all. So, we ended up arguing throughout the dinner.
A: So, how's everything with you and your boyfriend after that argument?
B: Well, it's actually better now. We talked things through, and I decided to forgive him.
A: Wow, what changed your mind?/ B: I realized I still love him so much, so I decided to be more understanding.
A: It's good to see you two back together.
