No, it's not right. This is one possibility: I haven't seen you in the office for the past few few days. Remember that the word "I" must always be capitalised, and that sentences should end with a full stop (or other stop).

Chandrasekhar ReddyMe : You are not seen these days in officeIn this situation, as GPY suggested, use the active voice: I didn't see you the last few days. Where have you been?
The passive voice (in your pattern above ) would seem a bit unusual for a conversation. If you must use a passive, perhaps: You have not been seen lately. Where have you been?
