Surprising Guest

In this afternoon, my sales partner asked me to buy three cakes for his guests.
(The picture is the roll cake I chose which is called "Doujima Roll.")

I didn't know who the guests would be.
(Assistants are usually not involved in a meeting with visitors.)

Yet my partner called me to give the visitors a word of greeting and my business card.
When I entered the visitor's room, I found a business aquintance I'm pretty familier with.

"Hi, I had talked with you on a phone, but now I see you!" He said.
"Wow, I finally met you! I had been longing this moment!" I replyed.
"Thank you for your cheerful talk on a phone although the talk ought to be mainly related to our business." I added.
Then my partner said to me, "I didn't know that you had such happy talk with him!" with his surprising voice.

Today's guest is the man who shows me that it is good to have idol conversation besides topics of the business we're dealing with.
He always asked me "how do you do?" or "what's new with you?" on the phone and help me enjoy having conversation with him.

So, I was glad to meet him!
