Beck promptly summoned the chef.

"Let's rework her meal plan. She's been off beef lately. Let's switch it to pork and chicken, and add smore warming ingredients

The chef quickly presented a menu. "Mr. Sanders, here are the fruits and vegetables Ms. Maja’s been eating, all air-freighted from

Beck thought for a moment about Maja's preferences and crossed off a few vegetables.

By now, Maja had returned from the restroom. "Beck, no need to be so cautious. I just felt a bit upset earlier, that's all."
