Do you need my help?

That would be great. Could you help me look into their company?

No problem. I'll look it up online. By the way, did you get any rest at lunch?

No. To prepare for the meeting, I didn't even eat properly.

That won't do. Health is the most important. Let's go eat something together and finish it when we get back.

Okay. Not only do we need to eat, but we should eat something good.

That's right. The meeting is important, but your health is more important.
