An Arrogant Client?

Tweet

My husband supposed to meet his potential client for his business yesterday. He was introduced to him by his friend who was working for the guy before. His friend arranged the meeting for my husband. Before going there, I asked my husband why he didn't call the client first to set an appointment but he told me that his friend already done that and the client asked them to come any time after 3p.m. So my husband and his friend went to meet the client who owns a restaurant. When they reached there, the owner of the restaurant wasn't there and my husband's friend asked the manager to contact him to tell that they already arrived. The manager told them later that his boss's partner was in the city and they needed to attend some businesses and asked them to wait until he comes with the partner. They served my husband and his friend some drinks and they waited in the restaurant like almost an hour. The owner turned up later and saw them sitting in a restaurant and just showed a signal to wait. My husband's friend told my husband that the owner can't really speak English and that's why he always ask the Manager to talk on his behalf or do the translation for him. According to my husband, the owner walk passed their table many times but not even once, he said anything to them. He seemed very busy and so, my husband's friend decided to meet him personally and told him that they will come back later if he's really busy. But, the owner asked him to wait again. After two hours, the Manager came to their table and apologized to them that his boss could not meet them and asked them to come back after 7p..m. My husband and his friend went back home after that. I followed my husband when they went back there after 7p.m. I went shopping at a shopping mall nearby. When they reached there around 7.30, the owner wasn't there. My husband's friend called the ex-boss and again he apologized to them as he was stucked in a traffic jam and asked them to wait. So my husband went to look for me at the mall. I was waiting in a fast food restaurant when he came and told me that the owner asked him to wait for another 30 minutes. I asked him to call the client directly instead of asking his friend to help. He called the guy twice and couldn't get his line. It was busy. So he told his friend to call him when the owner came. Not long after, the friend called my husband and told him that the owner asked them to come tomorrow as he was very tired. His friend was angry and told the ex-boss why he did that to them as they had come twice that day and were asked to wait. The owner was irritated with my husband's friend and told the Manager to explain exactly what he's telling him. My husband was very angry with the client's attitude and he decided not to deal with him at all. I advised him to calm down and I told him if only he did it right the first time ( to set an appointment with the client though his friend told him that the client will be available after 3p.m.) and not only depend on his friend to make the arrangement, thing will not get that worst. The owner might not like his friend(his ex-worker) and both of us wouldn't really know what exactly happened at the restaurant. Because of that, my husband got angrier and he thinks that as a wife, I don't support him at all and always blame him when thing turns its ugly side. We had an argument while going home and at the end, both of us didn't talk to each other at all. I was relieved when my husband started to talk to me again when he realized that he was at fault for arguing with me and he gave me the reason - he was angry that he thinks I always try to find his fault whenever bad thing happened. He said sorry and I also seek his apologize for being stubborn. Even though the argument was not last long, I still thinking whether I was too much or was it really his mistake... What's your advice? Please let me know....
