"I didn't expect to meet you here."
Snow returned the same gentle smile. "Neither did I, Miss Gu."
The atmosphere around them subtly changed as several ladies who had been chatting moments earlier quietly moved closer, because everyone knew the complicated relationship between Adrian Qinn, Rachel Gu, and Snow Jiang, and watching the three of them together was far more entertaining than drinking tea.
Rachel's eyes lingered briefly on Snow's face before she spoke again. "I heard Adrian has been busy recently."
Snow nodded. "He has."
Rachel sighed softly. "He has always been like that. Once he starts working, he forgets everything else."
The words sounded harmless, yet everyone present understood what she meant, because she was implying she knew Adrian better than his own wife, and several women exchanged meaningful glances while Snow merely smiled as though she had heard nothing unusual.
"I see."
