The immediate "rejection" and clear surprise was hurting Hector's ego. Big times. He coudlnt believe he had been rejected by his omega. The one that had caused all the butterflies in his stomach... no, scratch that. He didnt feel that way. He had seen people prettier than Carter. It wouldnt matter if his future husband didnt like him he could head out to mess with some other people anyway.
Steeling his face, he hid the hurt he was feeling and he was again composed. He greeted the mayor and his mate witb grace, shaking their hands and nodding. He took his seat before Carter and frowned seeing how stiff - and apparently unwilling - the omega was sitting beside him. He took the napkin and folded it to put on his lap, showing perfect etiquette as the first dish was served.
He didnt bother to look at Carter. He didnt like it that the timid omega looked like it was killing him to be sitting next to him. He maintained polite conversations, answering whatever questions Michael and Axel initiated. Though when they attempted to involve Carter into the conversation, he sort of focused on his food instead, not really answerign aside from polite smiles.
He sipped from the wine glass, demonstrting the side of him that was charming but not overly friendly. Axel obviosuly was getting nervous, even his own father, Pierre, was a little uneasy seeing the young couple wasnt interacting at all. Hector stubbornly ignored the many kicks his father did under the table. If Carter didnt like him, he wouldnt either. There was way too many methods for a married couple to live independent lives in private.
