Catherine: Hi, Jacob. This is Catherine from ABC limited. Is this a convenient time for you to have a quick talk?

Jacob: Hi, Catherine. Actually I am rushing off to a meeting, but I have a few minutes.

Catherine: That's great. I will not take up too much of your time right now. I'm just phoning to see whether we could arrange a meeting next week to discuss the event details.

Jacob: When were you thinking?

Catherine: Whenever is convenient for you next week. It will be better if the meeting could be arranged in your office Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Jacob: Sorry, I will be in a business trip from next Monday to next Wednesday, so I'm afraid that I could only make it on Thursday or Friday.

Catherine: Ok, shall we meet at 3 PM on Thursday?

Jacob: Sounds good. Is one hour sufficient for this meeting? I could book a room in advance.

Catherine: Yes. And please help to bring other stakeholders from your company to the meeting.

Jacob: I will do. I'll see you on next Thursday then.

Catherine: Thank you, Jacob. I am really looking forward to meeting you.
