After Alexander was done dealing with the kitchen matters, he turned to Cambyses, "How's the recruitment going? Is Bartholomew doing his job okay?"
Cambyses replied with a smile, "Yes. I asked him to make a list of the teams and their captains.
We also talked to Menes about it and he consented to the transfer."
But then she added with a touch of concern, "Though his grumpy face said that he will take it up with you tomorrow."
Alexander simply brushed off such concerns, "Menes isn't hard to manage. The man has a good heart and he will understand."
Gelene and Mean didn't understand what the couple were talking about and although curious, they knew it wasn't their place to ask.
After this short exchange, Alexander turned to Gelene, his main interest for the day.
The black beauty had been relatively quiet up until now, mostly due to the stunning success of Alexander that flamed her ambition and by extension dampened her desire to leave him for Menes.
