Although Rodger was furious, seeing how eagerly Alexander was eating, he could only swallow his anger.
Boris had already laid out the feast, and it couldn’t be sent back now. Not eating would only embarrass Boris, so whether or not there was something off about this meal, they had to eat: “Eat up, eat up. Since Director Vega sent it over, let's enjoy it. A famous person like Director Vega wouldn’t poison us. Afterward, Alexander can stay behind to handle the remaining formalities. After all, it’s all a gift for him."
Rodger washed his hands of any responsibility, placing it all on Alexander. Whatever happened, it would be Alexander who would suffer. Seeing how Alexander devoured the food, the others, with their stomachs growling, also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
