That special dinner was filled with an unusual silence. Huan felt an unpleasant atmosphere hanging in the air. He stared at Alexander, who was eating slowly and calmly. He knew the man was already full and not hungry, but was still being polite and keeping him company.
Huan cleared his throat, reached for his glass, and took a drink.
Alexander did not react at all, except to chew lazily.
"Alex, are you mad at me?" Huan asked.
Alexander stopped moving his hands, looked his aide in the eye, and put another piece of meat into his mouth.
Huan could see a slight smirk there. Immediately, he became apprehensive. But before he could speak, Alexander motioned for him to be quiet.
"Finish your food," he said.
