Oh, there you are, Emma. I have been looking for you all day long.
Hi, Ron. What seems to be the problem?

I came here to ask about Chloe, your best friend.
What about her?

She hasn’t attended any of her classes for the past few weeks. I was just wondering if you know where she could be. Rumor has it that she already quit school.
I am not a blabbermouth, and I won’t tell you Chloe’s whereabouts.

Come on, tell me. I promise to keep mum and that my lips are sealed. I will never tell anyone about Chloe’s secret.
I’m sorry, Ron, but I can’t tell you her secret, and it’s wrong for us
to gossip about her.

Thank you for this, Ron. I am really nervous that I will be so focused on my table manners and my presentation will go pear-shaped.
