PART 3 · LESSON 23 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

I don't have that data here

Diane asks for a number that Ana hasn't checked, and Ana learns not to guess, to explain why, and to promise the answer with a day and time. Say how many people came in through the parking lot last month, I don't have that number with me, roughly, I don't want to speculate, a guess would help me, a wrong guess would help less, fair enough when can I have it, I'll verify that and get back to you by Thursday noon, Thursday noon, in writing with Emma's count.
