Please help me translate some simple expressions used when receiving foreign guests at the front desk of the hotel.

Many large companies have a front desk, which we usually call the front desk. Receptionist's job is both interesting and varied. There is a lot of work at the front desk. This job is also very important, because the receptionist is the first person that visitors see when they come to the company. So the receptionist gave their company a first impression.

Let's see how the receptionist Ross receives visitors. Ross is the receptionist of Modern Office Co., Ltd. In this part, Ross will talk to Mr. Hussein, who has an appointment with Mr. Shelly, the sales manager 1 1:30.
