I even didn’t 48 my breakfast and rushed to Mr. G’s office but he wasn’t 49 . I then went to the secretary’s room and 50 everything to her. She opened Mr. G’s room. I looked at everything. There didn’t seem to be a letter for me. “If he had asked you to pick it up from here,” said the secretary , “ he would have put it in 51 or simply left it to me.”
Greatly 52 , I walked out of the room and 53 the secretary lock it. 54 the secretary’s eyes 55 . “Sorry,” she said. “It’s April Fool’s Day!”
