Model Answer

She did not have it right then, but she would arrange it for him.

Explanation

In reported speech: present tense ("don't have") shifts to past ("did not have"); future "will arrange" shifts to "would arrange"; "you" changes to "him"; "right now" changes to "right then." Keep it in one smooth clause.
