Question

Answer

Hello Scott.

You could say something like "I'm sorry to hear that what a shame,, I hope your meeting goes well. It's no bother though, we can always meet up later."

Is this the sort of thing you were after? I hope I helped!

Answer

I agree with Amelia. The phrase "That's a shame," was the first thing to spring up in my mind.
