Vivian guessed that he probably saw her calling at the staircase. However, as she could not think of an explanation on the spot, she merely replied, “Well, it’s just some stuff at work. It’s not anything important.”

Vivian was not deliberately trying to conceal her mother’s condition from Finnick. It was because she really did not know how to bring it up.

If she said that her mother was severely ill and she was in dire need of money for her treatment, it would sound like she was demanding money from Finnick.
