Yesterday was my colleague's birthday, as she is always kind to us so we decide to have dinner for celebration. After discussion, we finally decide that A resturant as our priority option, then I am sorry, we forgot Miss Chang, who is working in other department far away from our site, we forgot to let her konw our plan! But it seems an easy resolvent, which is informing her immediately before it was late! She pick up the phone and it sounded that she was piss off after I told her our plan, saying:why you guys tell me so lately?!but I need to handle the house lease with Liu, around 7:00 to 8:00pm, why don't you just have dinner in B restaurant, is much closer!
Now all of us perfer to A restaurant, only Miss Chang insisted on B, I called Liu ask if the house lease is really urgent, she denied and said it was Miss Chang, she got angry because she was the last one to be informed,insisting B just because of her self-will.
what would you do if you were me?

It's ok, you can come over to her and explain the situation. I would be a little surprised if someone told me they have a party at a restaurant. Maybe she just have a bit of a bad day at work or things like that.
In this situation I would try to talk to her about it and agree that maybe restaurant B is a better choice but we have already made reservations and other things at restaurant A so we can't cancel it. Perhaps we can go to restaurant B on another occasion and you will be the first to know about it.

that's a good idea, like your suggestion, we go to resturant A as our prime plan, though Miss Chang kind of mad at me but considering my other colleagues' feeling and it might happen to some kinds of troubles, and the most important thing is ,we figure out that Miss Chang is out of self-will, so we should reson her to accept our plan.
thank you , nice talking to you ,my name is Cristar, from China. :)

I would respect her. But first of all, I will let her explain or share to me why she disagrees with me. Then we can probably discuss. I think it's healthy to listen to other people's opinion too regarding plans. There may be times that I would feel a little disappointed but I have to respect my friend's decisions. :)

yes , you are right, we should respect her opinion but we might not follow her decision after we knew that was out of her self-will, thank you :)
