Bennett glanced at Xavier and smoothly changed the subject. "Mr. Hinchcliffe, don't you like the dishes?"

Xavier barely had a bite to eat or anything to drink.

"I've had a stomachache recently. I don't have a good appetite. The dishes, however, are delicious."

As Claudia finished the last spoonful of soup, she announced, “Well, I'm full."

Although she wasn't genuinely satiated yet and despite the delicious food, Claudia was eager to bring the awkward lunch to a swift conclusion and leave the restaurant as soon as possible.
