F: Can you please have that report done by the end of the day? I need to send it on to our customers. M : Yes, ma'am, I'm almost done. I've had my assistant helping me. I'll give it to you as soon as possible.
(A) F: OK, as your boss, I am happy to talk to you. And do you mean that you haven't had your assistant helping you? (B) F: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (C) F: As your assistant, why didn't you let me help you? (D) F: As your customer, I'd like to remind you that you have to finish this report by tomorrow.
