No credit to the skill of the guys who are professionals at sneaking up on others, it seems. Omi decides he'd rather not bring it up. Maybe it was even left out for the sake of mutual benefit.
That said-- how was doing the exact opposite of what he said a sign of no hard feelings?! Batman and Robin were supposed to be lawful heroes. No one ever mentions they're also trolls cut from the same cloth.
There is another possibility, of course: the possibility that this is a trap, the flower shop visit the bait, and the wait time a stall while they finalize everything they need to spring it. It was one thing to drop in on Bruce Wayne unannounced, another altogether to let them know he's waiting for them, and give them all time to prepare.
What'll it be, Omi? Leave or Stay? Your audience is coming, and will probably know it's you, because friend is classic indirect speech. Intrinsic as the communication tactic is to his own language, it's impossible to miss even in English. Robin is using a polite, discreet word to communicate a presence whose true nature he doesn't want to share aloud for one reason or another. Maybe it's to keep it from the secretary; maybe it's to keep it from him.
Omi hasn't forgotten what happened last time he stayed, and it's almost enough to send him right back out. There's just one problem with that. He's here because Bruce Wayne visited his home in person. He knows where to find them. That made the choice more like "have this confrontation on your terms or on his." He'll take his own.
Without looking especially pleased, Omi silently moves to a waiting area in the lobby and takes a seat. That's to say he isn't blindly following Robin into who-knows-where, and that he isn't intending to thank Robin for defying his wishes.
Besides, it will be harder for them to pull anything at all in a public space like this.
