The story returns to the present where dinner will soon begin. The dinner preparations are ready and the procession of maids bringing the food is on its way.
Ray knew that the food had been poisoned, but he didn't do anything about it. Because he realized that his plan would fail if he did something suspicious in front of Anderson.
Ray also did not consider Anderson a threat, he just needed Anderson as the perfect antagonist for the show he had prepared.
There is no doubt in Ray's mind right now. He fully trusts his abilities and the strategy he has made. He was only disturbed by one thing, Alex's attitude, which seemed to be thinking. This makes Ray a little restless, because Alex didn't say anything after Ray gave him instructions. Ray just hopes that Mr. Alex does what he has been instructed to do.
On the other hand, Alex is pondering a few words that were instructed to him before the dinner event began.
