Xavier sensed from Veronica‘s doleful expression that something was wrong. Concerned, he asked, “What‘s the matter?”

“Nothing. It‘s just that I ate too much at lunchtime, so I‘m not hungry yet at the moment.” Veronica gave him a perfunctory smile. Then, she pointed at the documents on her desk, saying, “I‘m reading these documents. I‘ll be going home to sleep after a while.”
