"Eric! This is indeed a surprise. You had raved about this restaurant all those weeks ago and since then, I wanted to come here. I finally made it today," she got up and told him with a smile.
Wei also pushed his chair back and got up. Crossing his arms, he waited patiently for Jia Li to finish conversing with the slick looking foreigner.
Eric turned towards him, the next moment and extended his hand, "Hi, I am Eric. Jia Li and I work together."
Wei shook hands with him, while she informed Eric that he was a dear friend of hers from back home and was here for some personal work.
After chatting with them for a bit, Eric excused himself and went back to his table. He had been shocked to see Jia Li here with a stranger. He was a foodie and loved visiting new places in and around town with friends. But the last person that he had expected to see here had been that guy. The minute Jia Li introduced him, he recognised his name from the file. So, the past had come calling.
