After the meeting, I returned to my hotel room, only to find myself mobbed by Harvey Deng, Adrian Stuart and Melina Franklin right when I was turning around a corridor when on my way to the elevator.
"Oh, hey! Senior Richard!"
"Brother Richard!"
I turned and waved at them as they approached. They glanced at each other, puzzled, probably because this was the first time they had met each other. I quickly stepped in and diffused the awkward atmosphere with a few introductions.
"Oh, Harvey, this is Adrian Stuart and his classmate. They are friends of mine. I kind of know Adrian's family. Adrian, this is Harvey Deng. He's a junior of mine from Jing Tian Academy, and in the same society as me."
"Nice to meet you," Adrian said brightly.
"Same." Harvey nodded.
"What's up?" I asked the both of them. "Were you guys looking for me?"
