On Monday morning, Mika sat at her desk and waited for her boss, Mr. Tanaka. He walked by quickly and said, “Please finish the report soon.” Mika nodded, but she was not sure what “soon” meant. Later, Mr. Tanaka sent a short email with no details. Mika typed some questions, but she did not send them, because she felt shy. She wanted to do a good job, but felt unsure. At 4:30, Mr. Tanaka came back and asked, “Why is the report not on my table?” Mika looked surprised. “I thought you needed it tomorrow,” she said. Mr. Tanaka frowned and spoke fast, and Mika could not explain well.
