Today I announced to my boss and co-workers that I would be leaving the company and moving to London. Some of them were taken aback at first, but everyone was supportive. I really enjoyed working there and meeting so many fun and interesting people. I’m going to miss all of them!

Boss: I’m sorry to see you go, Belle, but I’m really happy for you. Tell me about your next job.

Belle: Well, it’s for an ad agency that will be doing a long series of car ads.

Boss: Is that so? It sounds interesting.

Belle: I’ll be shooting primarily in London, but also in other parts of Europe.

Boss: Fantastic. Be sure to keep us up to date with your new projects. I hope we’ll get to work together again sometime.
