Although Evelyn did not answer, the directional glance towards Finnick had been obvious. Rumors about the love affair between Evelyn and Finnick would probably be all over the news the next day.
After the launch event ended, Finnick headed backstage in a grouchy mood. Those reporters were so lame. It was supposed to be a launch event about their jewellery, but they were all asking about the latest gossip.
Pulling out his phone, Finnick noticed he had several missed calls. He tapped on them to find that they were all from Vivian. Worried that she had urgent business to discuss with him, Finnick called her back as soon as he saw the list of missed calls.
A depressed Vivian put down her phone after watching the launch event. Those people clearly knew that Finnick was a married man, but they went ahead and paired him up with Evelyn anyway. Have they ever considered my feelings if I see that? Or am I really that different from Evelyn in the eyes of the public?
At the same time, Vivian also had some complaints to make about Finnick. While she was waiting for the test results, she desperately needed him by her side, but he chose that time to be with Evelyn.
Just when Vivian was ruminating over all that had happened at the launch event, the phone in her hand buzzed and vibrated. She picked it up and saw that Finnick's name appeared on the caller ID.
She did not feel like answering his call right then. Thus, she muted her phone and tossed it aside, ignoring it.
"Sorry, the person you've dialed is unavailable.
Please try again later. Sorry..." Finnick's brows furrowed when he was confronted by the automated message from the phone. Perhaps Vivian doesn't have her phone with her?
Still worried about Vivian, Finnick made another call. Vivian was still angry with him. So, if nothing had happened, she probably would not have tried to call him so many times.
Seeing the phone screen lit up again, Vivian hesitated. Eventually, she grabbed the phone and headed to the corridor outside the ward to answer the call.
"Hey, what's up?" Vivian spoke on the phone in low spirits.
"Why didn't you pick up just now?" Because he had been worried, Finnick blurted the question in a harsh tone. Vivian only felt more upset when she heard him.
"I left my phone on silent mode. I didn't hear it ringing."
