Grand Meeting (2)

While the sharp lines of the furniture and the dance of the shadows added a distinct tension to the environment, every object in the room seemed to be a part of this tension, just like the curtain of a stage, every detail in the room bore the traces of a tense waiting. This dense cloud of tension seemed to carry the room into a kind of out-of-time dimension and the flow of time was slowing down. Everyone seemed to be waiting anxiously for what the next moment would bring. 

Although they should not have been nervous, the tension of each of them could be seen on their faces. Some of them even started to sweat.... What strange people they were.

"Please, you can start eating. Forgive my rudeness, but I wanted everything to be perfect." When Admon uttered these words, the people who were gently pouncing on the food in the meeting room could still realise how high the tension was.
