Rubi: “I haven’t been able to reach him yet. But the decision is really not up to him anyway. Let me know if you still want it. If you don’t, now is the time to back out. If you’re still interested, I’ll tell the real estate agent to go ahead and buy that office building. He’ll follow through with it right away. He should have all the paperwork filled out by Friday.”
Kamal: “I was hoping Waqar could help me figure out a way to afford it. Our business is in the red right now, but we have some good contracts coming up. We should be in the black soon — and that property would be ideal. I’ll try calling Waqar myself. If we can’t come up with a solution, we’ll have to call off the deal and do without the bigger office.”

Kamal: “I will. Take care!”
