Hi!
Could you please, answer a question for me?
If my boss says to me: Don't be late!
A friend of mine approaches me and says: What he said?
I know that if I say: "My boss told me not to be late" is correct.
But, if I say: My boss said to me: Don't be late! Is it correct, too? Or not?

Many thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Nelson
