Mr. Taylor and Howard Coleman had seen a lot of each other over the past three years and were relatively familiar with one another. After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Taylor set his gaze on Madeleine, looking somewhat surprised as he said, "I really didn't expect this. To see an old acquaintance today, Ms. Madeleine, it's been a long time."
Madeleine extended her hand gracefully with a light smile and replied, "Mr. Taylor, it's been a long time indeed."
With a beaming smile, Mr. Taylor took his seat, studying Madeleine for a moment before saying, "It must have been over three years since I last saw Ms. Madeleine, right? Surprisingly, you haven't changed a bit since then. It makes me feel as if it's not been more than three days rather than three years since we last met."
Madeleine laughed, "So long without seeing each other, and Mr. Taylor still has such a way with words."
