Martin was in a hurry as he had to be in the office as soon as possible. His boss __________________(NOT/LIKE) it when anyone missed the morning meetings and Martin had already been late several times that week.

His boss had warned him: “If you are late again, you __________________(LOSE) your job.”

Martin was afraid of losing his job. His colleagues were nice to him, the salary was good and he sometimes __________________(GO) on business trips abroad.

«It was actually the __________________(GOOD) job he had ever had.»

«He ran out of the house, jumped into his car and backed up without looking. BOOM!

There __________________(BE) a sound like someone hitting a drum. Martin had hit the car behind him.»

«“Oh, no!” Martin exclaimed. Martin glanced at his watch. It was 7:18. He looked around. There were no __________________(POLICEMAN) on the street and he decided to drive off quickly.»

«It took __________________(HE) 20 minutes to get to work.»

The boss arrived an hour later. “Somebody hit my car and left without leaving a note,” he said angrily. “I wish I __________________(KNOW) who he was.»

«My car was absolutely new! It __________________(BUY) only a week ago.”

Martin went up to the window, saw the car and understood that he would lose his job anyway.»
