"Vance, let's cut to the chase." Vivienne bit into a strawberry, savoring the burst of sweet, succulent flavor.

Vance sipped his wine, his gaze shifting between Vivienne and Percival.

Vivienne tilted her head, eyeing Percival from head to toe. "Inside out," she declared.

Vance was clearly taken aback, not expecting such a forthright answer from Vivienne.

Vance regained his composure and chuckled. "Well then, you must be familiar with his work. I was wondering if you might be interested in joining him professionally?" Percival coughed, glancing at Vance.
