The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 385

On the road.

Percival eyed Vivienne as she scrutinized the business card, feeling a twinge of jealousy. "Is it that fascinating, Vivienne?"

Vivienne replied crisply, "It is."

"What's so fascinating about a business card?" Percival could not hide the sourness in his voice.

Finally, Vivienne looked up, locking eyes with him as she said deliberately, "It's not the card that's fascinating. It's the man."

Percival felt his teeth grind, fists clenched tight.

Yet, he could not lash out.

In the end, as Vivienne chuckled at the look on his face, Percival's frustration only grew.

"Alright, you've got jokes now, huh?" He muttered before leaning in, mindful to protect the back of her head.

Vivienne wrapped her arms around his waist, and a few fiery kisses ensued before they parted.

She teased, blowing in his direction, "Smell that? Is it tinged with a hint of jealousy?"

His fingers ran through her hair as he gazed into her eyes. "Yes, I can't stand the thought of you with any other man." Vivienne pulled him closer, whispering seductively, "I wasn't finished. The man is handsome, but not as much as you."

Percival's heart swelled as if coated with honey.
