can u c me

well the full sms actually reads - can u c me at mandarin oriental now pls.
i had already planned for a dinner with friends, one of them a malaysian working in china back here for a job. we're to have dinner at 7ish but everyone was late (including me).
a little over 7, while waiting for my friend to finish her presentation, my CEO sms me the line above. i ahem.... sort of ignore it for a while but he sms me again.

now what would you do in such situation ?

additional info - we will be launching some new stuff on friday and tuesday

next blog, i'll tell you what i did and why.
