Meeting up for coffee – My day

Ardi: Ana, what’s up?

Ana: I am good, Ardi, thank you. How are you?

Ardi: Very good, me too! So good to run into you!

Ana: Me too! It’s been a long time since we last saw each other! Do you have time for a coffee now?

Ardi: I’m sorry! I’m busy right now, I’m going to work. But we can go out one day next week. What do you think? I work every day, from Monday to Friday. I am at work from 8 am to 6 pm. After that, I’m free. What’s your schedule like?

Ana: I work from Monday to Thursday, but in the afternoons, from 1 pm to 9 pm. I am off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. How about we meet on Friday afternoon?

Ardi: I go to the gym on Friday afternoons. Can we meet on Saturday?

Ana: On Saturday mornings I go with my friends to a beauty salon, but in the afternoon I’m free.

Ardi: I’m also free on Saturday afternoon. Very well then, we can meet up!

Ana: Very good! I am very happy that we are going to meet!

Ardi: Me too, I’m looking forward to it. Can you give me your phone number one more time? I have changed my phone and I have lost my phone contacts.

Ana: Yes, of course! What about you, do you still have the same number?

Ardi: Yes.

Ana: Very well then, I’ll call you now. Here, this is my number.

Ardi: Excellent! I’m leaving now. I’m late for work.

Ana: Have a nice day! Bye!
