Sentence meaning

Hello,

I have these two sentences:

A."You wiII be met by a man who is wearing a red tie."

B."You will be met by a man. He will be wearing a red tie."


Does the first sentence sentence have two meanings:

1. You wiII be met by a man who is wearing a red tie (at the moment of speech).

2. You will be met by a man. He will be wearing a red tie.

or does it only mean (2.)?


If I wanted to express the meaning of (2.), could I say "You will be met by a man who will be wearing a red tie"?


Thanks a lot for any explanation!

You wiII be met by a man who'll be wearing a red tie. That is the idiomatic version that native speakers would use.
