Daniel Cooper returned to the Villa and, indeed, he hadn't eaten anything. He had hardly eaten all day, and as expected, his stomach ailment acted up.
But there was no stomach medication prepared at his home, so he just drank a few sips of hot water before returning to his bedroom to lie down.
Just as the stabbing pain in his stomach was easing and he was about to fall asleep in a drowsy haze, he was rudely awakened by a buzzing vibration, and he was more than a little irritated.
He reached for the phone on the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, "Calling to bother me at this time, if it's not something extremely urgent, you're going to be settling your accounts with the Human Resources Department tomorrow."
"..." He was scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.
Looking down at the insulated lunch box in his hand, he said deliberately, "It's really not an extremely urgent matter, I just brought you some late-night food."
