The Bank and the Appointment

On Friday evening, I hurried to the town’s bank.
I wanted to make a new card.
Because there were many people, I thought it would take a lot of time.
Because I had an appointment with a friend, I asked the bank staff, “How long will I have to wait?”
That person said, “It will not take long. It will be finished in about five minutes.”
It really finished in five minutes, and I was able to meet my friend at five o’clock.
