The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 570

At the headquarters of Rivenwood Vanguard Agency.

Percival nudged open the door to the director's office. "You wanted to see me, Vance?"

Vance gestured towards the chair across from his desk. "Take a seat, Percival."

Percival squinted slightly before complying, settling into the chair facing Vance.

"What's Vivienne been up to lately?" Vance casually flipped through the documents on his desk as he inquired.

Percival lifted his gaze, his tone airy. "Vance, should I be concerned that you're taking an interest in my fiancée?"

Vance shot him a look, chuckling. "No need for that. My romance is quite blissful."

The joke did little to amuse Percival, who mainly remained expressionless.

Vance snapped the folder shut and looked up. "Can you ask Vivienne to swing by HQ? I've got a rather pressing matter, and I'd like to discuss a potential partnership with her." Percival's eyes flickered. "What kind of partnership?"

Vance's smile persisted, "That's something I don't think I need to share with you."

His stance was clear: even though Percival was Vivienne's betrothed, Vance preferred to approach her directly with this matter.

Percival's lips curled into a slight smile. "Alright then."

With that, Percival stood and left.

Vance watched him go, the smile slowly fading from his face.

Back in his own office, Percival dialed Vivienne.

"Vivienne, he's looking to collaborate. Didn't say on what."

Vivienne's laughter filtered through, "Vance loves his mysteries, but what's the point? It'll come out eventually."
