The boss holds the microphone so close as if someone will steal it
away from him.

The boss holds the microphone so close as if someone will steal it
away from him.
The professional greetings are exchanged and the discussion @ the project begins.

Every time, the client speaks or asks a question, the boss tries to imitate his accent, but fails
miserably.

The boss is relieved that nobody noticed the
embarrassing situation, but the truth is...

Client asks a technical question and the boss is completely lost!
![Page 18: Conference Call with a Client](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a31fdb4af9ff3048b4756/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

contact with.

A poor QA engineer sitting next to the Senior Developer who is

The boss assigns the technical question to that poor QA

After some more discussion for 37 minutes the client hangs up,
indicating the end of the conference call.
