The deputy chairman of the Apothecaries' Association responded with a serious look on his face. "Since he can't even be on time, can we trust him to be a professional?"

The deputy chairman pursed his lips. "If he really wanted to work with us, he should be here by now."
Did he think he was some kind of bigshot? He should have known better and come early as a sign of respect.
