A: Hey, what happened? Why are you late for the meeting?

B: Sorry, I got stuck in traffic on the way here.

A: Well, better late than never, I guess.

B: Yeah, I'm glad I made it. Did the meeting start yet?

A: No, not yet. But don't count your chickens before they hatch.

B: What do you mean?

A: We're still waiting for the boss to arrive. He's the one who will make the final decision.

B: I see. I hope he approves our proposal.

A: Me too. But remember, don't count your chickens before they hatch. We still have a long way to go.

B: You're right. I shouldn't be too optimistic until we get a definite answer.

A: Exactly. Let's just wait and see what happens.
