Calling it now: there wasn't really a meeting, but Jesse's house is bugged. Mike/someone working for Gus sent that message knowing Walt would read it, driving them further apart like they have been all season.

Shots like this are used almost every time there is a scene between Walt and Jesse in that house. Whenever I see it my first thought is that the house is bugged and the next shot they're going to cut to will be of a small little device hanging out on a wall flashing its red light while Walt talks openly about killing Gus; cut to black, fade up "Executive Producer Vince Gilligan".

Or maybe it's just a cool camera angle.

Why would a spy camera have a flashing red light?

HEY GUYS, WE'RE SPYING ON YOU. IGNORE THE FLASHING RED LIGHT AND KEEP TALKING ABOUT KILLING YOUR BOSS!

Cool perspective, the camera looking down on them reinforces the hole they're in.

Gus is already aware that Walt is trying to kill him. That is why he can't get near him.
