Feifei: Fine thanks, just finishing this report. What can I do for you?

Feifei: Oh, ok, sure.

Neil: It's just a bit cold in here, thanks.

Feifei: Oh, sorry, of course, no problem.

Neil: And I wanted to say, we've got some visitors coming over this afternoon, so is it ok if we have a meeting in here?

Feifei: Yes that's ok with me, but would you mind keeping the noise down please?

Neil: Yes, of course. 

Feifei: And would you mind tidying up after the meeting? It was left in a bit of a mess last time.

Feifei: I'd rather you didn't, if you don't mind. We need to use the room again at 4pm.

Neil: Oh, ok, I'll do it sooner then.


Feifei: Thanks.
