As a matter a fact…
Speak as Rachel
Speak as Megan
Megan: Thanks, but you don't need to remind me.
Rachel: I hate to say it, but I feel like I need to remind you because you always forget about work and deadlines. Have you even started preparing for the presentation?
Megan: As a matter of fact, I've already finished preparing.
Rachel: Really? That's great. I'm sorry for doubting you. I shouldn't have done that.
Megan: It's okay. Also, I didn't mean to be defensive earlier. I know that I have forgotten a few things in the past. But these days, I am working hard to improve my time management and organization.
Rachel: Good for you. I look forward to hearing your presentation tomorrow when we practice together.
