1.4 Telephone_Appointments Michelle: 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, Mr 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 4.15 next Wednesday, in Mr Hibberd’s office? Peter: Yes, that sounds fine. Thanks very much. Michelle: Okay, then. Bye.
