And if they had noticed and I hadn't -it would've been a kindness for them to text because I do live about an hour from that office.

I tell students when they are at appointments with me that if I stop and write something down it's not because I don't want to pay attention to them -it's because otherwise I will forget all about it and I need to remember to tell the whole class or to come back to them and talk about it further
It's good you waited. I don't think a client could have really come back and knocked on the door, the way the office is set up. But had someone actually shown up to retrieve them, I might have felt differently? I don't know Ex-T and ex-MC had a receptionist, so maybe he could have just taken them up there and had them deal with it?

I do feel like there's a difference between him scribbling on a notepad or typing in his phone (or even voice to text) "buy milk!" compared to contacting a client about something.
