Bab 176: Surprising

"Mr. Adley?"

Richard smiled brightly when he found Adley who had been standing there, who knows since when.

Richard certainly still remembers Adley's face very well, and vice versa. Even though they had only met once, it didn't mean they would forget.

"Good afternoon, Sir. Sorry, I'm too happy to see you here," said Richard, who had not had time to return Adley's greeting. He seemed to extend his hand, invite Adley to shake hands and immediately got a response from Adley.

Richard's face was still smiling. Instantly his gaze turned to the woman standing on Adley's right. However, only for a moment. He flinched when Adley's voice caught his attention again.

"Sorry for the long wait, Mr. Richard. We were stuck in traffic," said Adley flatly as he ended the handshake activity with his client.

"It's all right, Sir. I understand the constraints of travel in this town," Richard replied, not at all a problem.
