Emily,
Is there any reason you didn't say to your old contact, "What about <your
new contact>?" Is this all right with her?"
If you are already working with the new contact and it is going well, it
seems to me that you should *not* continue with your old contact. You also
should probably *not* meet with him at all without clearing it with your new
contact.
It is not at all too late for you to ask your old contact, "What about <your
new contact>?" Is this all right with her?". Pick up the phone and call him.
