"You won't give me face? Can't you learn from Veil? Why do I have to beg you to eat every time we have a meal?" Lisa snorted coldly.
She had only stepped away to grab a file, and Veil had already finished another bowl of soup—talk about efficiency!
A stark contrast to Daisy!
Daisy pouted, mumbling with a humph, "Of course Veil has an appetite. He used up so much energy..."
That one sentence made Lisa frown. "What do you mean by that?"
"Ah—well, you know... he's a man. He's more active, so he naturally burns more energy and eats more. I'm different. I don't really do much all day. And my mom keeps forcing me to take in extra nutrition—drink more milk and stuff—so I don't really eat much," Daisy said vaguely, trying to cover her earlier murmur with a clumsy excuse.
While Lisa wasn't looking, Daisy quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead. She wasn't sure if it was from fear—or exhaustion.
