Where is Mr. White from?

W: Excuse me, are you Mr. White from Canada?
M: Yes, I am here to see Mr. Li.
W: Just a minute. Would you please take a seat? I’ll tell Mr. Li you are here.
M: Thank you.
W: I’m sorry. Mr. Li won’t be able to get here to meet you.
M: I see.
W: He’s terribly sorry, but he asked me to make another appointment with you. Would some time tomorrow be convenient?
M: I think I’ll be free tomorrow afternoon. But you’d better tell him to call me before I come.
W: I understand.
