The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 456

Leopold spun around and caught Vivienne's gaze resting on him with a profound intensity.

He was taken aback. Why was Vivienne looking at him like that?

Had he misspoken?

If he found out who the hell had brought Griffin to a joint like this, he would break the bastard's legs!

Griffin shot him an indescribable look and pointed at Vivienne. "Vivienne brought me here. This dude, she's the one who introduced us."

Leopold was dumbstruck.

Holy shit!

Was it too late to make a run for it?

What was wrong with Griffin?

Why did she not say Vivienne was the one who brought her here sooner?

This was a disaster!

Leopold's gaze shifted, and then he turned on the charm, looking at Vivienne. "Vivienne, fancy seeing you here! Need a refill? Tonight's on me. Have a blast."

He paused, then added, "But I'll take this gentleman with me. A high-class lady like yourself shouldn't be slumming it with these bozos." Vivienne reclined in her chair, arms crossed, a smirk playing on her lips. "Oh? Since when do you get a say in who this jerk drinks with?" Leopold dropped to his knees.

He was on the verge of tears. "Vivienne, I didn't mean it. I wasn't calling you out!"

Vivienne casually cleaned her ears, then turned to Griffin. "Do I have a problem with my hearing?"

Griffin, ever so earnest, replied, "Not at all."

Vivienne turned back to Leopold, silent.

Leopold was screwed.

"Griffin, whose side are you even on?" He shouted inwardly.

Griffin was obviously on Vivienne's side.

Leopold offered a sheepish grin. "Look, I misspoke. Can we just let bygones be bygones?"

Vivienne remained silent.

Leopold went on, "I've come into some money recently. How about I treat you?"
