"Yes, tell us what it is about," Rachel answered on behalf of Vivian.
Although Vivian was a little displeased, she wouldn't argue with Rachel about it.
"Tell us what it is about, and I'll see if I can do it," Vivian replied cautiously. She dared not agree to Evelyn's request immediately, worrying that she would ask her to do something peculiar.
"It's definitely within your capacity!" Evelyn wiped away her tears and said confidently, "Since Finnick always listens to you, please plead with him for me."
Vivian's expression turned cold once she heard Finnick's name. I knew that Evelyn wouldn't be that kind-hearted! It looks like she has been waiting for me here.
"I'm sorry. I can't help you with that," Vivian rejected coldly.
"Why can't you help me with that?" Evelyn got nervous and grabbed Vivian's hand. "Vivian, Finnick doesn't want to see me now. He's mad at me this time. Can you plead with him for me? I understand that it was my fault in the past, but please forgive me."
Even though Rachel wasn't sure what they were referring to, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes as she saw Evelyn crying.
As such, she began to persuade Vivian, "That's right, Vivian. If Evelyn did something wrong in the past, I will apologize on her behalf. Can you just lend her a hand?"
Vivian was rather dejected because Rachel didn't even ask what was going on. How can Rachel play favorites?
"I really can't help her," Vivian looked at Rachel seriously and continued, "What happened between Finnick and her is their personal matter. I don't want to poke my nose into it. Neither do I have the right to interfere."
"Why can't you interfere?" Rachel was even more anxious than Evelyn. "Asking Finnick to forgive Evelyn is like lifting a finger. How complicated can their relationship be?"
