The scenario in which Phil adopts a facial expression of frustration and says, exasperatedly, "we have to pull extra shifts since Shawn got fired." means that Phil is using the complementing function of nonverbal communication.
The complementing function of nonverbal communication ensures all speech is paralleled by non-verbal communication that aligns with the what is being said.
