After Anna's call for Mr Lime, he asked her to lunch.

Trust me, Anna, this has happened to me dozens of times, but I thought he was only interested in the lemons.

Please promise me you won't mention this to anyone.

I saw him looking at her with big eyes from the moment he first saw her.

But with everyone complaining that I'm not polite on the phone, I just I didn't know how to say politely.

All right, well, I'll tell you want to say hang on, Let me write it.

Thank you for your offer, but I'm really sorry.

Say I'm afraid blah, blah, blow blah, blah, blah Say it's against company policy to have non business lunches with clients.

If it's not for business, then say it wouldn't be appropriate.

So with regret, I'm going to have to say no.

Well, thank you for your offer, but I'm really sorry.

I'm afraid it's against company policy to have known business lunches with people.

But apart from a little mistake, Anna did well there here.
