"Is there something wrong with everyone today? You're all being so weird. All the things you're saying are out of the ordinary. Am I missing something?"
"What? Vivian, do you not know?" Fabian glanced at her in shock.
"Is there something I should know?" She looked back at him in bewilderment. Could there be something that everyone knows and I don't? Something related to me?
"Did you not look at your phone today?" Fabian found it bizarre. According to Vivian's daily routine, scrolling Twitter in the morning was first on the list. How could she be unaware of the news?
Is she feigning ignorance? At the thought of that, Fabian shook his head. How could that be?
"No, my phone spoilt after the water went in last night. I tried switching it on to no avail. I've yet to get it fixed. I was actually planning on going later after work. Why?"
"I see."
Everything made sense now.
Because her phone was down, she didn't get to surf Twitter in the morning. That was why she didn't know what happened.
Maybe that's for the better. If she sees the news, she is going to be devastated.
Despite feeling that way, Fabian still felt she had the right to know about the issue. There was no good in keeping her in the dark.
He took his phone out and pulled up the news that was published that morning. Then he passed the
phone to Vivian.
She reached over to take it. Her brows furrowed upon realizing the reason behind everybody's strange looks and occasional sighs.
