A: "Hey, what gives? You seem a bit annoyed."

B: "Yeah, I just got off the phone with my client for so long. They postponed the deadline yet again."

A: "That's frustrating. Have you given any thought to declining to work with them in the future?"

B: "I have, but they've been a good client and I don't want to burn any bridges."

A: "I understand, but it's important to set boundaries and not let your work constantly get put off."

B: "You're right. I'll try to talk to them and see if we can come up with a solution that works for both of us."

A: "That's a great idea. Starting off the conversation with honesty and openness is the key."

B: "Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully, this will be the last time our plans get called off."
