Cockroach attack

This time no travel adventure, but everyday challenge. In our office there are around thirteen people (the whole accounting and corporate controlling department) and it seems at least as many nasty unpleasant little animals. Nearly twice a week one of us women is shouting: "Aaaahhhhhhh!", followed by some jumping away from the respective desk and next: "He Yi, lai ba!" He Yi is one of the few male colleagues in the office. He Yi then tries to settle the matter.

So when some Chinese colleague wanted to know from me what to answer on the phone when I'm not in the office and somebody is calling me in German or English, I taught her some sentences like "She is in a meeting", 'She is having her lunch." as well as "She has escaped from the office because there are too many cockroaches"...
