Yesterday when I was working on the report, my boss asked me to go out with him for a talk. He told me he was going to resign tomorrow and asked me whether I had a plan for the future at work. If I wanted to handle a brand standalone, he would recommend me to his boss. As my English is not good, I am very scared to have a meeting with global team. When I sat my seat, I felt that a group of stress was pressing me. And as I was keeping thinking this thing, I didn’t focus my attention on the work. Yesterday was a bad day, I can estimate I will be busy from now on and have lots of stress

If I wanted to handle a brand by myself, he would recommend me to his boss. Since my English is not that great, I’m a little scared to have a meeting with the global team. When I sat down, I felt a little stress. And as I kept thinking about that, I didn’t focus on the work. Yesterday was a bad day, I can guess I’ll be busy from now on and have lots of stress.
