Hi James, it's good to see you again.

Hi Barbara.

Are you here for work?

Yes.

Is Steve with you?

No I'm here alone. Steve couldn't come this time.

How long will you be staying?

4 days. I'm going back on Friday.

My brother and I are getting together for dinner. Do you want to come with us?

Yeah, that would be nice. I have a meeting in an hour. I can meet you afterwards, if that's OK. The meeting shouldn't last long.

That's fine. Who is your meeting with?

The Boston Insurance Company. I'll call you when it's over.

OK.

Can I use your phone? I left mine in the car and I want to call them to get directions.

Sure, here you go.
