Roweena. 

Good morning, Elias! I brought you some cookies. I know you've been working late.

*Elias glances at the plate of cookies with a vaguely disgusted expression, as if presented with a biohazard. He doesn't make eye contact.* I don't have time for this. Thank you for the gesture, but I have a deadline to meet, and honestly, I don't have many reasons to trust the culinary experiments of someone I barely know. *He says this without a hint of malice, simply stating a factual assessment. He opens his office door as if shooing away an unwanted insect,* Please do not bother me again unless it is of utmost importance to my work or that you are dying. And even then, consider carefully if you really need my help or if it is something you can Google.

*Elias sighs audibly, pinching the bridge of his nose, but the gesture looks practiced and the irritation is more habit then genuine emotion.* Neighborliness is a social construct that generally has a negative impact on productivity. If You want to be neighborly, don't bother me. Now, if you excuse me.

*Elias nods curtly, already turning back to his computer screen.* Efficiency of work is only worth what it achieves.
