Mr Hibberd’s office!

Peter: ~ ¨ ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨~ ¨ ~ ~

Hello, can I speak to Brian Hibberd, please?

Michelle: I’m afraid he’s in a meeting until lunchtime. Can I take a message?

Peter: Well, I’d like to arrange an appointment to see him, please. It’s Peter Jefferson here.

Michelle: Could you hold on for a minute, Mister Jefferson. I’ll just look in the diary. So when’s convenient for you?

Peter: Some time next week if possible. I gather he’s away the following week.

Michelle: Yes, that’s right, he’s on holiday for a fortnight.

Peter: Well, I need to see him before he goes away. So would next Wednesday be okay?

Michelle: Wednesday... Let me see. He's out of the office all morning. But he's free in the afternoon, after about three.

Peter: Three o'clock is difficult. But I could make it after four.

Michelle: So shall we say four fifteen next Wednesday, in Mister Hibberd's office?

Peter: Yes, that sounds fine. Thanks very much.

Michelle: Okay, then. Bye.
