Because of her memory loss, Adam Jones didn't actually recognize or understand anyone attending the banquet this time.
The sole reason he could match faces with names was due to some preparatory work he had done prior to arriving.
He had remembered everyone.
Given his inherently aloof and unsociable nature, even when others chatted with him, his responses were sporadic, yet no one suspected he had lost his memory.
When the time was almost right, President Tony Wilson came over and greeted the people around Adam Jones before calling him aside.
Everyone knew about the friendship between the President and Adam Jones, so no one thought much of it when the President called Adam away.
Afterward, James Grant, the President's cousin, also left.
During this time, Adam Jones received a phone call.
His expression while on the call appeared somewhat mysterious, as though he was deliberately trying to avoid something secretive.
