Say it naturally - Making Excuses

• “I wish I could, Carl, but I’m not going into the office until late because I have some clients to call on in the morning”
• “I’m sorry about your cup, Hernando. I wasn’t looking where I was going, I knocked it against the refrigerator, and it broke. Of course, I’ll buy you another one”
• “That’s all right, Bill. Don’t worry about it!”
• “You don’t have to. It wasn’t expensive”
• “Well, thanks, Bill. I’d appreciate it.”
• “Gosh, I can’t believe how late it is. I need to be leaving. I have a long day tomorrow
• “I have some things to do”
• “I need to get back to work”
