| Hey, Ivy. | |
| I heard you were planning to fly to New York this week for that big conference. | |
| Are those plans still on? | |
| Oh, I'm still going, but I had to reschedule at the last minute. | |
| I'll actually be flying out on Saturday afternoon and returning on Wednesday. | |
| That's unfortunate timing! | |
| How did the organizers take the news? | |
| They usually prefer everything to go as planned. | |
| I explained that a critical project demanded my attention and had to be sorted out by Friday. | |
| Luckily, they understood and said it wouldn't be a problem. |
