Be in Hot Water

HOW TO USE

Speak as Trisha
Speak as Ryan
Trisha: You look worried Ryan. Is everything okay?

Ryan: Not really. I am in hot water because I lost a major client. The sales manager and sales director are both really upset with me. I'm kind of worried that I might get fired.

Trisha: Do you think it is really that serious?

Ryan: It could be. My company is very competitive and unforgiving when it comes to results.

Trisha: But you have been a good employee there for so long. Surely, they would give you another chance.

Ryan: I think they will, but I can't be sure. I've seen people fired for less.

Trisha: Well, try not to worry about it too much. Whatever happens, happens. You will be okay.

Ryan: Thanks, Trisha.
