If you are not already aware, start each new speaker's dialogue on a new line. Also be careful with your use of punctuation marks and commas.

I look forward to seeing how you tackle this next assignment. Have fun!
This was a lot harder than you would think, that and the evil internet Gremlins did not help, so sorry it took so long.

The background: -

A phone call between a Lawyer, and one of her clients.

- - - -

"Hi Peter."

"Hello, Kate. What a pleasure to hear your voice."

"I can never work out whether you are very charming, or a dirty old man?"

"I am sure I would love to show you where I fall."

"Maybe one day, I will get lucky. Anyway, as much as I love taking to you, my boss will try and work out how to bill you for it."

"His invoices are so much fun, more creative than a John Grissom novel."

"I should tell him you said that, but then I would have to admit this call. I think I might have found you a new workshop. A client has just died, and their heirs want to sell up, and start spending. One of the properties is a warehouse, or factory, with some sort of apartment, and as soon as they said that I thought of you."

Peter shifted the phone, placed the sandpaper wrapped block on the work bench, and reached for a pad, and pen.

"I do so like the idea of you thinking of me. Would I be able to see it?"

"I begged the measuring job, we normally farm it out, but I offered the chance of a quick sale. I thought you could help me."

"Mmmmmmmmmm, begged did you?" Peter smiled, and went on. "Of course, you only have to tell me when, and were."

"I was thinking, if you were free tonight, we could measure, look round, and grab a bite somewhere."

Peter licked his lips at the thought of biting, and Kate. Down boy, you are twice her age, and she is so innocent, or maybe naive is a better word. The night's plans flashed in his mind, veggie pasta, and '24'.

"If I left now, I could do the shopping I planned, meet you, see the place, and then go back to mine for pasta."

"Your famous Veggie Carbonara, T raves about it, so see you about five."

"That was the plan, see you at five, and you can call her Jane you know."

"I know but she has issues trying to be two people, so it is just easier to use what she thinks of as her real name. See you soon."

Hope this is long enough.
