Maya? You're finally here. I've been waiting by the entrance for nearly thirty minutes.
Thirty minutes? I thought we were meeting at seven thirty.
Seven thirty? I thought you said seven.
No, my message said, 'Can we change seven to seven thirty?'
I read it quickly while leaving work. That's not what I understood.
Didn't you see my second message confirming the new time?
I saw it, but I thought you were confirming seven o'clock.
I arrived at seven twenty-five because I wanted to be early.
I got here at six fifty-five. I was worried when you didn't arrive at seven.
Why didn't you call me?
I sent a message at seven ten, but you didn't answer.
My phone was in my bag while I was driving. I saw it after I parked.
At least the reservation is still for seven forty-five.
Right, so we aren't late for dinner. We just arrived at different times.
I didn't read your message carefully enough.
And my message wasn't very clear. Next time, I'll write the exact meeting time.
Never mind. We understand each other now. Let's go in.
Good idea. We can confirm the reservation at the desk.
