X understood that she is not going to reveal anything to him, nodding his head lightly he said, "All right, I believe you…" Holding her shoulder from behind, he instructed her, "Don't exert yourself, take rest in between, I'll ask my chef to prepare healthy lunch for you, Ok?"
"No Thanks! Aunt Mary prepared a bento box for me, I'll eat that at lunchtime", she replied impassively.
"Fine! I'll check on you later… If you need anything then call me, Ok?" He leaned forward to take a look at her face and saw her irritated expression.
He understood why she's behaving like this, she is touchy when it comes to her work and no one can disturb her during that time.
Taking a sigh, "I'm sorry Mei, I forgot, no one can disturb you while working… I'll talk to you later" without waiting for her reply, he left her alone and went back to his office.
Now since he had poked her during her work time, she will be grumpy throughout the day.
