How can I help you?
Yes, I am James Mason from Anderson and Associates. I would like to see Mr. Smith.
Do you have an appointment?
Yes, he knows I'm coming. Our meeting is set for 2 o'clock.
I wonder if Mr. Smith forgot your meeting. I am afraid he left this office this morning and is not expected back until after 4 pm. Let me find out if he made arrangements for someone else to meet with you in his place. Will you please have a seat?
Sure.
Yes, Mr. Mason, I just checked with our office manager, Ms. Terry, she said Mr. Smith briefed her on your project. She is just finishing up a meeting now. She could be with your shortly. Would you like me to show you around while you are waiting?
That would be very nice. Thank you.
