As everyone said, your partner erred. It would be interesting to see what he would have done if you told him you had the call, and didn't need his help. Would he have gone back to the manager to let him know your call stood?
One thing you should not do is to tell the manager to come to you if he has a question about one of your calls. At that point, it would be just dressing him down. It is better to tell your partner, hey, don't discuss my calls with him, just send him to me if he goes to you.
