I probably would have said something about how "since the original proposal numbers were far off what your recently hired L believes to be fair, (esp since the partnership interest was not factored in...) but sure, you'll send it on over to your L for their any additional feedback."
and then get back to GAL, etc.
No way would I meet him alone at this point, with that topic in mind.
As for the apologies, I have to confess something.
Whenever I apologize to my h for a comment or action I did or forgot to do,
he almost always then launches into a litany of OTHER times I said/did something else he does not like...and he can go on for awhile. Or he repeats why and how I was wrong or suggests it means a character flaw in me, never just says "thanks" and drops it. Like the apology was me opening a door for him to list all my flaws.
Lately I've mentioned this to him as an "old h" trait, which I find undesirable and which makes me NOT want to apologize to him, ever.
Really He does not know how to accept an apology gracefully.
Hmm, I will work on modeling that for him I guess.
I mention this^^ on the off chance anyone seeing it, also sees themselves b/c as important as it is for someone in the wrong to apologize,
there's a lot to be said for accepting that apology and then, moving ON...
