"Nothing to worry about."

Whitney turned slightly, her hand clutching the warmth of the injury behind her, her face pale and expressionless as she eyed Ludwik and the woman he was protectively cradling.

Her icy stare stung Ludwik, and he finally noticed the corner of the desk, right where her back was.

"You..." His voice lost a measure of its calm.

Whitney replied with a mocking tone, "Mr. Lippert thinks we did something to your Nyx? Is it so hard to believe she barged into my office and fell all by herself? I didn't even touch her. And now I'm supposed to take the blame for this?"

"Sis... it was clearly a misunderstanding. You thought I was stealing your project, you got angry, and I got in the way... Let's just say I fell on my own, okay? Ludwik, please don't fight with her over me."

Florence, pale and clutching her chest, could hardly speak, her ankle trembling uncontrollably.

Ludwik, seeing the burn not only hadn't healed but had worsened, likely to cause an infection, clenched his heart in fear. "Breathe slowly, Florence, what exactly happened here?!"

His angry shout echoed through the office, silencing everyone.

I said I would notify the higher-ups, but Nyx, unable to cover it up any longer, played the victim. She fell on purpose, reopening her wound, trying to get your sympathy! But we won't let her get away with this. Without the talent, she resorts to theft, and even Mr. Lippert, in front of everyone, can't just cover for her, right?"
