B:everything’s great.I’ve just returned from my office.

E: your office?Aren’t you a freelancer?

B: sure I am. I work for myself, but I’ve rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area.

E: a virtual office?

B: yeah, an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies. I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building.

E: what kind of services do they offer?

B: a separated office, internet access, phone services, fax services, mail & courier services, and almost everything you have in a conventional office.

E: sounds fun.what else?

B: I get a business address at an expensive location, and I can share the receptionist and secretary with other offices in the same floor.

E: oh, that helps a lot to promote your "corporate image".

B: you bet it!
