怪不得你不开手机。原来是忙着跟女同事一块儿加班。我是不是打扰了你们的私人时间？

No wonder you didn’t turn on your cell phone. So it’s because you’re busy working overtime together with your female co-worker. Am I interrupting your private time together?

丽丽，你别误会。我的手机没电了。我们一大帮同事在加班呢。

Lili, don’t misunderstand. My cell phone battery died. There are a bunch of us all working overtime together.

算了，你别解释了。你们男人都一个样。（挂电话）
