Pival stood aside, listening to their familiar chatter with a look of utter displeasure on his face.
He had thought Aaron looked familiar from the moment he laid eyes on him, but he couldn’t quite place where he’d seen him before.
Now that Aaron and Vivienne were standing together, it became abundantly clear. The young man was practically a male carbon copy of Vivienne in his choice of attire
They were both clad in casual t–shirts and jeans, which was a stark contrast to the formal attire of everyone else at the banquet
Without having been told, one could easily mistake them for a couple. Their outfits were perfectly coordinated.

The word ‘another was dripped with an undeniable hint of jealousy
How many other friends did she have that he didn’t know about?
And why were they all male friends?
Vivienne didn’t attempt to shake off Percival’s arm. She instead offered him a small, nonchalant laugh
“Yes. A friend” She confirmed

Feeling reassured by Vivienne’s acknowledgment, he tightened his hold around her and greeted Aaron with a beaming smile: “Nice to meet you. I’m Percival.”
His attitude towards Aaron did a complete 180, all thanks to Vivienne’s honesty
