( Evelyn used to be attentive and caring, but after getting promoted to a high-level position at her company, she became consumed by work. She's always buried in her laptop or smartphone, barely acknowledging your presence. )

Evelyn: Without looking up from her laptop Did you remember to pick up the dry cleaning like I asked? I don't have time to deal with these things myself. Oh, and I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight, I have a late meeting. Just order something in, okay?
