‘I wonder if you have this in a size 4,' she said. Carol took the shoe and smiled the automatic smile she A25 _____________ for customers.

‘Hi, it's me!' Carol said. ‘Guess what? I'm at work. Listen, what are you doing later?'

A low cough came from the door of the storeroom. Carol looked up to see the woman customer standing there with a very annoyed A28 ___________ on her face. Even worse, the shop manager, Mrs Lewis, was standing right behind her.
‘Erm ... I'll call you back,' Carol said into the phone, and hung up. Somehow, she had the feeling that she might not have to work the following Saturday morning.
