Good afternoon, Mr. Stein. I wonder if you are free tomorrow evening?
I'm not sure, but let me check my schedule. . . Ah, no. I have nothing then.
Great! Our president has asked me to come over to invite you to the banquet held in your honor at the Beijing Hotel at 7:00. Here's an invitation card for you.
How nice of him! I'll be delighted to go. But what time would be convenient?
I'll be here to pick you up at 6:30.
That's good. It's most thoughtful of you to do this, Miss Wood.
