lose one's cool
Hi,
What is the verb for the time when you are doing something and somebody suddenly comes in and you do things quickly because you don't want him to see what you were doing.
For example somebody is searching for something in somebody else's office then suddenly the office owner comes in then the first guy XXXs and says something irrelavant and stupid or just explains the reason he is there.
Can we use ''lose one's cool'' ?
