How do you say.....
When I talk to someone who calls a person who is away from her desk, I can say "Can I take a message?"How about in a direct situation? I mean not on the phone. (This would be "in person" or "face to face".) I'm looking forward to hearing your answers.:)
The response would actually be quite similar even if the visitor was in the office instead of on the phone. "I'm sorry, she isn't in right now. Would you like to leave a message for her?" Or the visitor could set up an appointment to meet with her at a later date or time. If she is in the office, but not at her desk - such as if she has gone to the ladies' room or to another office, but will be back in a moment - you can ask the visitor if they would like to wait for her. "She stepped away from her desk for a moment. Would you like to wait? You may have a seat right over here in our waiting area."
