当天下午陈豪和Amy又碰面了。
A:Chen Hao, you deserve to know what bothered me about your using my office without asking me first. You were not very considerate in some of the things you did.

A:It appears that you ate your lunch in my office.

A:There were crumbs all over my desk.

A:And how do you explain the missing paper clips? I was down to my last few, and when I came back, there weren't any left.
C:本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览
A:And that means that you went through my desk to find them.
C:本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览
A:Well, it's not. Even with good friends. Just because people are not at their desk, doesn't mean that you can make your self at home when they are not there.
C:本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览
A:I accept your apology. In the future remember to ask permission before you use a coworker's desk, office equipment or supplies. When you do receive permission, leave everything as you found it.
