"Okay, I'll have a look first." Nina sat across from her as she read the documents Sue gave her.

After flipping through just a couple of pages, Sue asked her, “Why are you keeping your mask on? Isn't it stuffy?"

"It's fine." Nina did not want others to know that Karen had hit her. Besides, it was not worth making the issue known.

Sue frowned as she recalled that Nina had gone home because of Karen showed up there.

She had a bad feeling about it, so she looked at Nina's face carefully.

"What is it?" Sue was scrutinizing her, so Nina could not help but look away.

"Did Karen slap you?" Sue asked once she understood what had happened.

Nina was shocked. If Sue had not been at the company the entire time, Nina would have suspected that she had followed her back and seen what went down. "How did you know?"

"I guessed it. Seeing as you refused to take off your mask, something must have happened. The tone of your voice was off too, like you were hiding something. Plus, if you're only covering your face, the only answer must be..."

Sue made a slapping motion before gesturing to Nina to take her mask off.

"Let me see the extent of the damage."

Nina could not hide it anymore, so she had no choice but to take it off.

When Sue saw Nina's red and swollen face, she gasped in shock. "It's that bad?"

She thought that a lady like Karen would not be strong enough to make someone's face that swollen even after slapping them.

She did not expect Nina's face to be so swollen!

"Did you go see a doctor?" Sue asked.

Nina shook her head. "I put ice on it. It's no use going to the doctor for this."
