Hunter was always envied by other men because of the number of female friends he had. However, the moment he heard Vivian's words on the cruise ship, he finally knew how it felt to be jealous.
That's right. He was jealous of Finnick for having a woman who was willing to die for him.
"You're wasting my time. I have other matters to attend to, so I don't have time to fool around with you.” Unaware of Hunter's thoughts, Vivian was ruthless with her words.
The man felt an excruciating pain in his heart when he heard the woman's harsh words. So this is what heartbreak feels like. It seems spending time with me is a waste other time.
He took in a deep breath and apologized sincerely, "Vivian, I'm sorry for helping Evelyn to pick on you. Please forgive me."
"What do you mean?" Seeing how Hunter was sincere in his apology out of the blue, Vivian froze.
"I won't do that again. Can we become... Friends?" Hunter was nervous as he looked at her. Will she forgive me?
He was anxious, as he didn't have any confidence if the woman would forgive him.
Digesting his words repeatedly, Vivian wasn't sure if she should believe him. What if this is also one of Evelyn's new tricks?
"Alright." The woman nodded in the end. Perhaps she was moved by Hunter's sincerity. Or maybe she chose to trust in the good of humanity.
However, she couldn't trust him fully, so she didn't completely lower her guard.
Meanwhile, Finnick was handling the paperwork in his office, but his mind was in a complete mess as he couldn't focus on his work. The image of Vivian and Hunter leaving side by side lingered in his mind.
