Matter-of-fact

She's over there.

Professional / Informal

I believe the service manager is in the office, would you like me to get her for you?

Formal

The service manager? May I have your name? Do you have an appointment?

Antagonistic

She's not to be disturbed. Do you have an appointment? How did you get in here?

Calm

The service manager, certainly, let me find out for you. Please take a seat if you like.

Sarcastic / Passive Aggressive

I suppose you want to complain to her because you have some urgent and unique problem that requires special attention. Let me call her.

Attentive

Certainly Sir, let me locate her immediately and bring her to you.

Honest

Oh she's probably taking a long lunch today, it's our coworker's birthday so they will probably be gone for at least three hours. We usually have long lunches and stuff on Fridays so Monday is probably a better time to come in.

Indifferent

She's not here.

Inquisitive

I'm sorry, she's not here at the moment. Can I take your name? Are you one of her clients? Was she expecting you? Did you have questions or just a visit?

Nonsensical

She might have been over there but that's just what I had perceived earlier before the cake.

Objective

Let me check for you and I will let you know.

Ominous

Oh no [active silence] she's not here, did you hear about all that has happened? [active silence] It's terrible.

Optimistic

She's not here but I'm sure that she's likely to return at any moment. Would you mind waiting a few minutes?

Patronizing

She's busy. You could have booked an appointment with her as opposed to just showing up and expecting her to be free.

Pragmatic / Flexible

She's in a meeting. If it is urgent I could try to interrupt the meeting. Alternatively, you could wait or leave a message.

Unsympathetic

She's not here, I don't know where she is and I don't know when she'll be back.
