Vivian patted her face to calm herself down. Apart from a superior-subordinate relationship, there would be nothing more between them. She shouldn't have any feelings for him.
She wouldn't want to relive the feeling of hopelessness and despair she experienced five years ago. Finnick, this time, I will not give you the chance to hurt me!
A determined glint flashed across her eyes while a cold expression appeared on her face. Vivian put her phone into her pocket and then splashed her face with cold water.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she once again reminded herself that she should never forgive Finnick.
She steeled herself before leaving the washroom.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard the sound of violent coughing.
Vivian cast her eyes over and saw Finnick sitting on the couch. Right in front of him was his laptop on the coffee table.
How could he still work when he is sick? Does he really think he's a man of steel?
Without any hesitation, Vivian made her way toward the man and slammed his laptop shut. "Don't you know you have a fever? I told you you should take care of your body!"
"Vivian, there's an emergency in the office. I need to attend to some urgent matters," Finnick explained as he tried in vain to re-open his laptop.
Vivian was pressing hard on his laptop. She couldn't help feeling angry with him. "Nothing is more important than your health. You had a high fever yesterday, and you're only starting to feel better now. What if your condition worsened? Do you want to be admitted to the hospital?"
Finnick gave in when he saw her worried eyes. "Vivian, are you worried about me?"
