Do you mind if I take this chair?
Speak as Dan
Speak as Paul
Paul: That is Peter's chair, but he is going to be out of the office for the next couple of hours.
Dan: I only need it for an hour or two. We are having a meeting, but there aren't enough chairs in the meeting room.
Paul: I see.
Dan: Do you think Peter would mind if I take his chair?
Paul: I don't think so. But please, try to have it back before he returns.
Dan: That shouldn't be a problem.
