Cordelia wasn’t sure what was going on between them, but didn’t Percival know himself?

Suddenly, a news alert popped up on Vivienne’s phone. “Chairman of Hawthorn Group falls ill suddenly and is rushed to the hospital.

She tried to wriggle her hand out from Percival’s tight grasp but failed. She shot him a cold glance, wondering if her blowing up now would scare Cordelia.

Vivienne, amused by the picture, decided to let Percival off the hook for now.
