“Liz, make me a latte with an extra shot,” said Janet. She would be late as she was working on the latest contract, and thus needed some caffeine to keep on going. Janet paid for the coffee and took to the nearest corner table.

Rita’s parents said his family background was not that great and she would have to suffer if she married him.
