How it sounds
I can help with that. Since it changes the scope from what we originally discussed, the cleanest next step is to decide whether we keep the current scope, swap priorities, or update the budget for the added work.
Next step
Offer a clear way to add meeting support without absorbing it as invisible overhead.
These are the real wording patterns this scenario is built to handle.

Best for: Use when you want to preserve trust while still keeping the boundary clear.
Firm
Treat meeting time as real project scope and clarify what is included in the current engagement. If the client wants a different path, make the tradeoff explicit before you continue.
Best for: Use when the client is repeating the pressure or treating the boundary as optional.
Treat meeting time as real project scope and clarify what is included in the current engagement.
Use a softer tone when the client is still collaborative and the pressure looks like uncertainty rather than bad faith.
