Gillian bit her lower lip hard. It took a moment before she could regain her composure.

She had heard rumors that Percival was not interested in women, and she figured he might just be a bit of a straightforward guy. That did not bother her.

"Mr. Ellington, since you're here, let's take a few laps in the pool. Mara is probably going to take her sweet time getting ready. She's always dragging her feet when it comes to dressing up," Gillian said as she stood up and walked over to Percival.

Without even lifting his head, Percival could see the two long, pale legs before him.

Percival stood up, towering over the 5'5" Gillian, making her look even more petite and endearing.

Gillian took a few deep breaths, looked at Percival's imposing figure, blushed, and said, "Mr. Ellington, shall we swim together?"

Inside the changing room, Vivienne watched as Mara obsessively scrolled through photos on her phone, all the paintings she wanted to discuss.

Vivienne raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly at Mara.

Checking the time, Vivienne stood up and covered Mara's phone with her hand. "Let's head to the pool."

Feeling it was about time, Mara nodded. "Alright, let's go."

"Ha, Vivienne, just wait until you see Gillian swimming with my brother. You'll be green with envy!" She thought.

As they exited the changing room, they were startled by a loud splash from the VIP pool!

A woman had fallen into the VIP pool, and a shimmering silk shawl fluttered in the air above her.

Mara gasped, recognizing Gillian's shawl.

What on earth had happened?

Vivienne chuckled softly and whispered into Mara's ear, "Satisfied?"

With that, she walked towards Percival.
