Hi,

I will see him around in the office.

'See someone around' suggests you will possibly see someone at some time in the future but it is not definite.

It'd be much easier to immmediately grasp the meaning of the sentence if it had been like this:
"Barbara, your boyfriend is waiting for you outside, in the car". OR
"Barbara, your boyfriend is waiting for you outside - in the car".
