She had driven all night to see him. They spent the night in bed and ordered room service cheeseburgers. The next day she slept late and asked if he would write her English assignment. As she slept he wondered how old she was, and if she had stolen that car?
EDITED TO ADD: Ok, I finally wrote my own story about delegation.
"So ... where is she?"
"She took the day off and I have to cover for her."
"What does that entail, exactly?"
"Well, it means I do no work all day and then leave early."

"Consider it done."

"If you could just finish these up for me by the end of the day ... mumble, grunt, mumble", sneered his evilness.
As he walks off, I take his wife off hold.
These are all brilliant.
