Davel was forced to eat lunch by Shirley when he actually had no appetite. Actually, he could eat meat again because he didn't have to follow a strict diet while he was still recovering, but he wasn't in the mood to eat, and that was why he kept saying that Shirley had forced him to eat lunch.
["Lycia just texted me, saying that you can't skip your meal today even if she can't keep a close eye on you, Davel," the manager spoke to him as she placed the food container on the table in front of Davel.
Hearing how the manager mentioned that one name, Davel finally looked up from the document in his hand before replying, "Lycia has time to text you when she's on a date? Do you think her date is too boring that she's even playing with her phone when she should focus on that person?"
