I would like to personally thank you, Mr Shine, for your support. We have received the list and my guys are already working on it.

Mr. Clough's voice sounds a lot more pleasant now that your office has provided the long-awaited list. Nevertheless, I am here to ask for your help once more. We need the support of the team that performed the analysis to get some more detail on it.

I am afraid we can not help you this time because Andy, the guy who did the analysis, is now involved with another task that came directly from our CEO.

What about him? Wasn't he involved in the analysis as well? Yeah, Mr Clough is pointing at you. How does he know that you collaborated with Andy on the analysis? He does not actually know, but he is from internal audit, and being informed is one of his main tasks.

Well, he actually helped Andy with the analysis, but he is quite new to the job and you should consider that when dealing with him. Mr. Shine is definitely trying to protect you, lowering the expectations about what help you can provide.

That is not a problem. We just need someone who is aware of what has been done, and he is perfect. Could you kindly follow me? I will take you to Albert, the guy performing the analysis. You know this is actually a rhetorical question, and that's why you immediately start following Mr. Clough, who leads you to a new office where Albert, at his desk, is waiting for you.

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Albert. Please take a seat here. I was just looking at the customer cards of the defaulted companies.
