Hope:

What’s up, Joey? You look upset. Are you okay?

Joey:

No! I am not okay! I just can’t believe it!

Hope:

What’s going on?

Joey:

You see. It’s Friday afternoon, and we are about to go home in an hour. And then, this emergency case shows up!

Hope:

Oh! That’s too bad!

Joey:

看來我今天要加班了! I have to work overtime today.

Hope:

No kidding. So do I! I just got an email from Mr. Brown—he wants our project done by Monday next week.

Joey:

What? Why? 為什麼總是有這種人呢? Why are there always people like this? They just want others to work, work, work.

Hope:

Well, look at the bright side. Not only do we get an extra pay, but we also avoid the rush hour on our way home.

Joey:

You are right. Speaking of working overtime, do you think we should 點一些外送當晚餐?

Hope:

Sure. It would be convenient if we ordered in some food right now.

Joey:

Yes, that way, we wouldn’t have to wait until very late for dinner.

Hope:

So, have you got any food delivery apps?

Joey:

Yes. I’ve got this FoodTiger app. I usually order food on this app. 你想吃什麼呢, Hope? What do you feel like eating?

Hope:

Hmm… maybe something easy, like a set meal.

Joey:

Let’s see. Okay. Here is a Chinese restaurant with some good set meals. How about Kung Pao Chicken with rice?

Hope:

Well, are there any Italian restaurants that sell pasta? I feel like having some pasta today.

Joey:

Okay. Let me check… pasta….pasta…. Here’s Amigo’s Kitchen on San Ming Road. They have good 青醬義大利麵 and 白醬義大利麵.

Hope:

Pesto Pasta and Cream Sauce Pasta?

Joey:

Yes, Pesto Pasta and Cream Sauce Pasta.

Hope:

hmm… which one do you recommend?

Joey:

Well, I had their Cream Sauce Pasta a few weeks ago. It was quite good, so I think their Pesto Pasta wouldn’t be too bad.

Hope:

Okay. I’ll try their Pesto Pasta for dinner tonight.

Joey:

Alright. And I’ll also have Pesto Pasta for dinner today, too. Let’s see…Oh, wait. The 運費 is pretty high.

Hope:

How much is the delivery fee?

Joey:

The delivery fee is NT$120. Do you think it is 距離的關係嗎?

Hope:

Yes. I think the delivery fee depends on the distance. The farther the restaurant, the higher the delivery charge.

Joey:

I see. The delivery fee depends on the distance.

Hope:

But some stores offer free delivery if we spend a certain amount.

Joey:

Oh, you are right, Hope. It says here that if we order over NT$450, we get free delivery.

Hope:

Right now, we are NT$50 dollars short. Maybe we can get a drink or a small dessert.

Joey:

Okay. Let’s do some 加購. Do you want anything else?

Hope:

What add-on options does it have?

Joey:

Their add-on options include French fries and a 9-inch pizza and salads.

Hope:

Hmm…I’ll skip those. Do they sell any drinks?

Joey:

Yes, Italian coffee, black tea and green tea.

Hope:

Have they got espresso? I need a strong coffee.

Joey:

Yes. Then, I’ll add a bubble tea for myself.

Hope:

That should do it. What’s the total now?

Joey:

NT$500.

Hope:

Ok. Let’s place the order before we get too hungry.

Joey:

Done! Now, we just wait.

Hope:

At least we have something to look forward to while working late.

Joey:

Yes! Food makes overtime a little painful.
