对话文本
A: Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?

B: Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow. I know there are some things I need to share with you about that. But, gosh, I don't know.... Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....

A: I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....

B: It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....

A: How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery. It'll be my treat.

B: You don't have to do that....

A: I insist. I really appreciate you taking time to work with me in. What is your favorite fast food? I'll cater to your taste.

B: Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?

A: Great. I'll bring the food.
