Zane, who was usually talkative, was quiet at the table. He had complemented Mina on her performance, but he did not gush over her like everyone else. President Lee had also given her praise, but it came in the form of him saying, 'better than I expected.' Only Lisa did not say anything positive; she was still harping over the fact that her attempt to embarrass Mina, had actually backfired. Her man, who had largely ignored her the entire night, was now silently watching Mina's every move. He seemed to be studying her facial expressions as she ate and while Lisa did not know this, Ian was making a mental note of the things Mina liked, disliked or was indifferent about.
Mina, who was feeling uncomfortable with the couple boring holes into her with their eyes, turned to Zane and whispered for only him to hear.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"I'm fine," he said flatly.
