He knew that there were important clients coming today all along and he didn't tell me on purpose! I obviously didn't and couldn't prepare anything. He, on the other hand, had everything prepped down to a t. The clients got a great impression of him. He's a real schemer. Best not to be friends with someone like that. You never know when you are going to sold out.
