Hello,

In the office my friend out for a moment.

There’s a call for him and I answer to the caller like this:

He has gone, call back for 10 minutes. But suddenly he is around.

So I say :

Oh, he is already here.

Is that right?

Hi,

I would suggest:

He is out at the moment. Please call back in 10 minutes. No, it's all right. He's just come back.

Alan

The look on the face of someone is their expression.
