Vivian laughed at how pathetic she had become. She did not want to call Finnick as she felt that it would make her look like a controlling person.
Just when she was wallowing in despair, the office was suddenly buzzing.
Vivian heard Jenny and Sarah discussing the news. She decided to join in as a way to get Finnick off her mind.
"What are you guys talking about?" Vivian asked.
Sarah answered, "We're discussing about investments,"
Vivian frowned, "Investments? What are you planning to invest in?" "Haha, in stocks of course. I'm talking about the stocks from the Miller family company."
It turned out that they were discussing the stock recovery of the Miller family and considered buying it. They predicted the Miller family might be a dark horse in the market.
Ken chimed in, "What do you guys think? Is this a new investment strategy? The stocks were in sharp decline yesterday, but they suddenly shoot back to the top today! One of my buddies felt miserable because he turned in all of his stocks yesterday when he noticed that they were declining."
Another colleague said, "So why did the Miller family's stock rose tremendously today? Isn't that weird?"
"The Miller family's stock isn't reliable so don't waste your money on them. Finnor Group's stocks are much more stable, I have never lost money from investing in them. Besides, I have also invested tons in the V.M. Fund."
While everyone was deep in discussion, Jenny pulled Vivian aside and asked, "Vivian, you came just in time. Is there any insider news you could share with us? I heard Finnor Group had invested a large amount of capital into the Miller family's stock. Is that true?"
Feeling rather awkward, Vivian quickly recomposed herself.
She replied, "I never asked Finnick about his business, so I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
Jenny seemed to have noticed something and she said, "That's fine, there's nothing to be sorry about as long as you're okay."
Jenny's comforting words made Vivian felt uneasy.
What are you trying to do, Finnick? Vivian wondered.
