Plead

Laura immediately dialed the person's telephone number, biting her nails tensely while waiting for the call to connect.

"Kelly! Oh, thank goodness you finally picked up," Laura was relieved to hear Kelly's voice from the other end. "It's me, Laura. Can you give this phone to Andreas?" she asked hastily.

After hearing Laura Kiels, Kelly wasn't happy with how she called their boss' first name. She knew they had a special relationship, but how could she casually call him that?

"Excuse me, Miss Laura, did you mean Mr. Corby?" 

Laura didn't bother answering Kelly's question. Instead, she said, "Kelly, don't ask. Just give him your phone! I need to talk to him now. This is very important..." 

Kelly's expression became even grimmer upon hearing Kelly's bossy request.

"I'm sorry, Miss Laura, but you can not talk to Mr. Corby now. He is in the middle of a meeting," Kelly said.
