Solid first effort. There's something to be said for a simple set up and delivery, not everything has to be an opus with a deep meaning. Old lovers reconnecting through "business" is a fun trope.
Maybe look at 'show, not tell.' Look at the length of speech tags (afterdialogue).
Good start. Keep writing. :D
Spoken punctuation goes inside the speech marks, not outside. You're inconsistent with that, which is why I noticed. It's easy to get right, and saves you from grammar nazis later on.
