Manu: Hi Shalini ma’am! Anurag isn’t at home. I can leave him a message though.
Shalini: Okay. Can you please tell him to call me back as soon as he can? I need to get his wedding cake finalized today so we can work on it. Please tell him to decide with Manushi on the filling, the number of tiers, and the colours and design. He or Manushi should drop by my cake shop any time today.
Manu: Aright, I’ll tell him to give you a call as soon as possible.
Shalini: Yes please, thank you.
