use of the past perfect

[sanjay puranik]

imagine the following scenario

I arrive in the office somewhat frayed at the edges. Before I can settle down a subordinates comes to me with a trivial complaint. I lose my patience after hearing him out and ask him "Is this what you had come to tell me?"
Could I have said "Is this what you came to tell me?" or "Is this what you have come to tel me?"

Is this what you have come to tell me?" is more correct.;-)

Of course you can say: that's what you've come to tell me?

Pardon me for chipping in, Harry.
I think "I arrive at the office" is better than "arrive in the office" in sanjay puranik's sentence.
