I was absent-minded the entire afternoon because of the matter with Townsend. Shannon knew I was troubled by this, so she did not dare to bother me.
As I was deeply contemplating, I suddenly heard the sound of a broken glass coming from outside the office.
Shannon and I looked at each other, then got up and walked out one after another.
When I opened the door, Nina was apologizing to someone. "I'm sorry, are your clothes wet?"
"It's all right, but what's the matter with you, Nina? You don't seem to be in good spirits."
It looked like Nina had bumped into a colleague, causing the cup to shatter on the ground.
I walked forward, glancing at the mess on the ground before looking at the two of them. "What's wrong?"
“President Lane, it's nothing. Nina just accidentally bumped into me."
"Alright. Just clean it up, and you can go back to work."
"I'll clean it up," Nina said to the colleague before kneeling down silently to pick up the pieces.
She did not look very good.
"Ah." Nina let out a low sound of pain.
I quickly lowered my head and saw the wound on her finger caused by the broken debris. "Shannon, go get a broom and clean this up. I'll take Nina to the office to treat her wound."
“Alright."
After hearing Shannon's response, I took Nina into the office.
I took out the first aid kit to treat Nina. Although she was in pain, she endured it silently. She did not cry out in pain at all. She was really stubborn. I glanced at her and helplessly said, “Our colleagues have caught on that you’re not in the best of moods. What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell because of the surgery?"
