中文原文
今天午休的时候，我打算下楼去咖啡店买一杯热饮。排队的人有点多，等了大概十分钟。拿到咖啡之后，我坐在窗边的位置，拿出手机想简单回几条消息。刚喝两口，就看到同事发来消息，说有个紧急小任务需要我马上处理。我只好快速喝完咖啡，收拾东西赶回办公室。
My translation
During today’s lunch break, I decided to buy a hot drink at the coffee store downstairs. The waiting line was a bit long, so I waited for about ten minutes to get my coffee, then I sat down by a window. I’d just wanted to reply several messages with my phone before I got ones from my colleagues. It said that there was an urgent task that needs me to handle immediately. I had to finish the coffee quickly, packed up my things and got back to the office.
