Teacher, are both paragraphs OK? Do I need to change the tenses?

(1) I received a call from Cindy yesterday. She said she was feeling a bit nervous about the interview in two weeks' time. I confirmed that our manager will be meeting with her next Wednesday and that he will be preparing her for the interview.
